Ladies night out!

I haven’t had a girls night out in FOR-EV-ER, but all that is about to change! Tonight, I’m hitting the town to FINALLY see Harry Potter with Jamie and Vanessa. Then, we’re heading to Café Monte, a French bistro style restaurant, for dinner.

Given the occasion, I decided it was time to put one of the 300 dresses I’m hoarding in my closet to good use. While taking a quick inventory, I kept coming back to this orange dress.

It’s orange, not hot pink, I promise.

This dress has been hanging in my closet for nearly a year, clearance tags still attached, all the while wondering what the heck she was doing in a closet for of blacks, purples, and greys.

You see, I bought this dress for three reasons. One: It was on clearance. At Target. AKA $13. TWO: It was my size (not always a requirement when I find a cheap clearance deal). THREE: It was orange. A color that has not graced my skin in my 27 years of existence.

What better excuse to wear a bright orange dress than Harry Potter and French food? I can think of none.

So here I am in my orange dress:

Just kidding… that was the first of many failed attempts at self-photography.

Better… seriously though the dress is ORANGE not pink.

What is this, Prom? Where’s my corsage?

And here’s all my goodies for the show:

That’s a book to read in case I’m early (wishful thinking), Living Social deal for the restaurant (can I get a Boo-ya?), Chocolate covered pecans, chocolate covered blueberries, a chocolate brownie clif bar (sensing a theme here?!), a notepad and pen in case I need to jot down notes at the restaurant, water for hydration, and a sweater in case the old lady gets cold Smile
