May your past be the sound of your feet on the ground.

I bought Fun.'s new album, "Some Nights" last night (that's what the title of this post comes from), and I am so completely in love with it! It's so positive and upbeat, it was great background music as I was getting ready this morning. If you haven't heard of Fun., it's the side project of The Format's lead singer, and it's amazing. There's a commercial floating around out there (for a credit card maybe?) that features a single from the new album. It's the one that goes "Tonight we are young / So we set this world on fire / We go higher than the sun"

Anyway. Enough gushing about semi-obscure indieish music. But seriously...go have a listen if you get a chance.

If these outfits look familiar, it's because Kelly featured them on her blog, Enter Kelly a while back. It was a post about wearing an outfit from day to night. I wore the top outfit to work on a Friday, then switched it up a bit and restyled my hair for a drinks and a show with some friends that evening.

I talked about this last time, but these tights really are more rust-colored than orange in real life. But because I took the nighttime photos, well, at night...they turned out super orange. Oh, well. Still looks pretty good, if you ask me :)

Date night oufit

Remember when I mentioned Matt's and my date night at Shadowbox Live recently? Well here's that outfit :) And the bonus? I wore it to work the next day with slacks and heels instead of jeans and flats. Didn't take photos of that, but how's that for double duty? Not bad, I say.






blazer and shirt: thrifted
jeggings: Burlington Coat Factory
shoes: Payless
necklace: The Limitedjk, it's really from Forever 21...oops!
(Please ignore my squinty face and the out-of-focus photos. Very bright sun + being rushed = poor photo quality. Who knew?)

I love getting dressed for date nights. Matt and I are at that point in our relationship—three and a half years this month, in fact—where sweatpants are just easier to wear and neither person really cares if the other is put together or not. So when we get a chance to dress up a little and get fancy, it's a nice change of pace.

Speaking of half-anniversaries, this month (the beginning of this month, actually) marks the six month anniversary of this blog! I'm actually a little surprised at myself. I'm not one for long attention spans—that's an understatement, I have the attention span of a five year old. Or a goldfish. Anyway, I'm quite pleased that I have made this far without being bored with the blog at all. Here's to another six (or twelve, or more)!

Update: Just linked to Spunky Chateau's Thursdays are for Thrifters! Lots of great finds up there this week...check it out if you have time :)
