Abstract Absurdity

Today is National Absurdity Day (there’s a day for everything), so the theme for November’s Thrifty Six collaboration is absurd outfits. My initial thought went to a huge, teal, tulle Betsy Johnson dress that I thrifted for $1 and have never worn (because it’s so out there), but then I remembered it’s still at my parents’ house in Boise. So I had to go with Plan B instead. Since I don’t have any one thrifted item that’s particularly absurd, my goal was to put together a few of my funkier thrifted pieces for an overall absurd outfit. I can tell you one thing… I definitely felt absurd (yet fabulous) walking around and taking these pics! Continue reading “Abstract Absurdity”

Weekend Trip to Las Vegas

If you read my weekly recaps, you’ll know I attended the Bridgerton Ball with my aunt a couple of weeks ago for my birthday! It was such a fun event, and it felt like we were transported right into the set of the popular Netflix show. If you haven’t heard about this experience (I found out about it on Instagram—gotta love those targeted ads), it is put on in collaboration with Shondaland, a production company; Fever, an events company; and of course, Netflix. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it turned out to be such a special night full of dancing, photo-ops, and a performance, and I would definitely recommend it—truly a marvelous evening with the ton! *Cues my best Lady Whistledown voice.* Continue reading “What to Wear to the Bridgerton Ball”
