The Nutcracker Ballet

Dec 28 (1)

 Friday December 28, 2012

Today I went to go see the Nutcracker ballet! I was having a hard time deciding what to wear. But then I thought, "what could be easier than black and white with a pop of color". And thus, this outfit was born :)

 {Polka dot dress: Saks (Panama)  ;  Shirt-dress (worn as jacket): Sooooo old who knows  ;  Heels: Payless Shoe Source (old)  ;  Clutch: Present from my parents  ;  Earrings: Forever21.com}


The Nutcracker ballet was absolutely amazing. I have never seen such professional and talented ballet dancers, I was totally impressed.

Apart from the amazing choreography, I was totally in looooooooooove with the costumes! Each costume had so many rich details, fabrics, and designs.

I was particularly impressed with the couple dances. All of their movements were so graceful and beautiful.

Believe it or not, I have never seen the Nutcracker before nor do I know its story. So it was a real treat to finally see what it is all about. It was completely magical!

Oh wow, the costumes and the stage decorations look amazing! I've only seen performances of The Nutcracker on tv, but I suppose it's a real different experience when you see it all on a stage in front of you!

I also love the dress you're wearing and your shoes are amazing! <3

Love the outfit- perfect for the ballet! Those shoes are actually like ballet shoes but with heels- haha. :)

Love the idea of a shirt dress worn as a jacket!  Your outfit looks so polished and sophisticated - perfect for the ballet.
