I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful weekend!
I wore this outfit to lunch with a friend.
I went to see Erykah Badu aka DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown at a local club here in Dallas on Sunday night and it was a memorable night to say the least.
Dress: Thrifted
Belt: Zara
Clutch: Rummage sale
Shoes: Michael Kors
I have never been to that club before but I heard it was a ghetto oasis (I want to start using this phrase in everyday conversation) and it did not disappoint. I thought the vibe would be different since Erykah Badu was deejaying but obviously not. The music was great but I felt like I was back in 1986 and I think that's being generous. I guess I don't get out much because I didn't know that guys still wore sunglasses inside the club, maybe that won't ever go out of style? And I kid you not, there was a guy with one of these shirts on:
But maybe I'm not up on men's fashions and this is still in style but I remember buying my brother in law one of these back in the early 90's. Not to mention that Muscle Shirt Guy had on a black and white checked belt and black and white shoes.
I wore this dress backwards.
And now I know why the $7.99 shoe store is still in business because apparently all of the women at the club shop there frequently. I saw a woman with a velvet minidress on.
And I could honestly ask the question, "What is that? Velvet?"

But the music was awesome and I danced all night. Literally. I danced so much that I wanted to take my shoes off on the walk back to the car which would have been in keeping with the vibe of the club but I was told not to I'm a lady so I didn't.
It.was.the.most.fun. and now my legs are sore.
Yeah, it's official. I'm old.
Happy Monday!
This dress is too cute. The fact that you wore it backwards changed the whole appearance of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, guys still wear shades in the club(hate that)! And no, those muscle shirts are not "in"...LOL

I havent laughed this hard in awhile first your outfit as usual beautiful and styled to the 9's,now to the club tell Mr. Man there is a famous pastor in Ga looking for his shirt and the velvet dress we won't even go there we'll just chalk that up as scenary to help with that "ghetto oasis vibe" rotfl!
ReplyDeleteHow...a...dorable!!!! Lovely look, and your write-up....too hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI am all on top of ghetto oasis, I will allow it to replace ninjas paradise :) Love the clutch...
ReplyDeleteLOVE the whole ensemble centered around your dress! You look like you're on vacation!
ReplyDeleteLOL at the muscle shirt and the velvet dress...sometimes hole in the wall clubs like that are the best places to have a good time!
I'm glad you kept your shoes on. LOL :)
Love the dress! Whered you get that belt? Cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but laugh at Prissy and Reiko. I love the dress. It has everything I need floral print, color and it is long. Rocking it backwards was a super plus. Xo

What is that? Velvet?!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness girl, you have me rolling here! Ah...made my day!
and fyi i would probably not see the potential in that dress had I seen it on a rack but you make it work so well! nicely done :)
Priceless! Dress worn backwards.
ReplyDelete$7.99 shoe store! lol..They shop only at the first of the month!
3/$25.00 lol
Shades in the club. So Ugly and tasteless.
The tight shirt made me instantly think of Eddie Wrong from New Birth..(Ok Eddie Long-I guess I can use his right name since he settled out of court for $15 mil)
U look gr8 as usual. S/N glad you kept those shoes on! Some1 w/shades would have instantly thought you were a "Velveteer" chic...
what a find!!! that dress is great...love it! LMAO at the velvet dress! xoxo, Rita
