Shiny things

This dress has gotten a lot of wear this past month.  Three times to be exact (first time to my company holiday gala. In a dressier styling, of course)  Because of it's flashiness, one would save it for night time festivities, but I wanted to make it more "day-time appropriate".  Enter the camel sweater and leopard loafers. :)  I wore this combo on the last day of classes (and then again, this past week to a friend's holiday party).  What better way to end the semester than looking like a shiny disco ball!?  Perhaps this outfit may seem out of control, but I feel it's an unlikely pairing that works, at least in my book. :)

I picked a winner of the Shabby Apple Giveaway and the winner is, Amanda.  Congrats chica!  Thanks to everyone that entered and big thanks to Shabby Apple!

Silver Anniversary!

Last night, the company I work for enjoyed our annual holiday gala and celebrated 25 years!  To say that it was an amazing evening would be an understatement.  The night was filled with fantastic decor, great music, delectable food, amazing raffle prizes, (cash, trips to Vegas, paddle board, Macbook pro, iPads, flat screen tv's to name a few) and music video starring our very own employees.  We even had our own verision of Jeopardy where three contestants challenged to win a grand prize of a new car or $10,000 cash.  Amazing, right?  The night ended with a surprise fireworks show.  I've been with the company for 11 years and I'm truly thankful and grateful to be part of an incredible company that truly values and takes care of their employees.  We truly are Ohana. :)  Happy Silver Anniversary OLL!

I didn't get to take any outfit photos last night (too busy have fun!), but I wore this little shiny number, sans the party queen sash (I actually made that sash for a friend).  I styled the dress with a studded belt, leather jacket, Spiked Lita's, and arm bling! 

Love, S
