Pardon the extremely tired and makeup free face. Shopping in Vegas killing time and staying awake before an event tonight, even though I woke up at 4:30am east coast time for my flight here.

In Reiss i spotted this dress and gasped. My color. Simple, dramatic. Fits beautifully in the smaller of my usual sizes. Definitely a special occasion dress but we all know that it’s better to have the dress before the occasion, right??

Texted photos to my husband and he replied “OMG I love it! Get it!” Who I to argue?

I would wear it tonight but I don’t have the right bra and I think it’s a smidge too long for the shoes I brought. I’m going to try it anyway. If it doesn’t work I’m going to wear the navy jumpsuit I posted recently, which travels well. But I’m crossing fingers I can make it work for the gala tonight!
