On Saturday I broke in another new pair of jeans. These are one of my new size 0s that I got from Express a few weeks ago. I had recently gotten them back from Quick Stitch<\/a>, where I had them hemmed. It sucks to be short! Nothing ever fits exactly right.<\/p>\n

\"2011-12-17<\/a> \"2011-12-17<\/a><\/p>\n

The jeans were new, but the black drapey tank is actually old. I got it from Express a couple of years ago. It’s stretchy so it still fits. I think it just fit tighter before. I’m my standby for whenever I don’t know what else to wear.<\/p>\n

I busted out my Classic Hardware<\/a> retrolite cherry earrings and necklace<\/a> because I thought the red and green combination looked festive. For those unfamiliar with retrolite, it’s made of poly-resin and is similar to the old bakelite jewelry from the 1920s. I take advantage of opportunities to wear my cherry retrolite stuff because I can never wear them to work. They are too funky for my usual conservative (read: boring) work attire.<\/p>\n

For outerwear I busted out my old, red XS (trying to be festive) pea coat from Abercrombie & Fitch<\/a>. It’s still in good shape for being at least seven years old. I’m so glad I didn’t get rid of it because it fits again! <\/p>\n

I also wore the gray and black scarf that Jan gave me for my birthday. She got it from Carla’s Love It<\/a> at Bradley Fair. It’s one of Jan’s favorite stores and I’ve still never been there. Maybe I will go check it out over Christmas vacation. They’ve got this coupon for $10 OFF<\/a> that’s good until Saturday. Anyone want to go with me? Mom? Jenni? Jan?<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are some of our pictures from Saturday night.<\/p>\n

I thought it was funny that Amy tried to convince her husband Shawn that this was another “tacky sweater” party<\/a>. He didn’t buy it, though. Although, there were several people wearing sweaters that would have qualified. LOL. I don’t think they thought their sweaters were “tacky” though, so don’t tell anyone I said anything. I’m sure they thought their attire was just really, really festive.<\/p>\n

\"SAM_1208\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a packed house. They managed to squeeze several parties in that same night.<\/p>\n

\"SAM_1209\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was my first time at Mosley Street Melodrama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"SAM_1211\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed myself. Brian got a kick out of the local jokes.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to talk Brian into getting us season passes because the 2012 line up looks really promising. I really want to see “The Dukes of Haysville or the Hazzards of Going Down South… of Wichita” and “East Side\/West Side Story” and “The Bel-Aire Witch Project” and the other shows sound good too, actually. We get to save $20 each by getting season passes so it’s just like getting free admission for one show. You know how I am about deals! LOL.<\/p>\n

\"SAM_1240\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t believe I’d never been to Mosley Street Melodrama<\/a> before! I’ve really been missing out! We need to get a group together for the next show!<\/p>\n
