When Kyle saw this outfit, he exclaimed "Aww! I didn't know it was ballerina day!". I decided to pull this dress out that Kyle bought me last year, that I have only worn once. I remember seeing it and loving it right away. The only other time I wore it, was to go to a party at Cliff Bell's in Detroit and I remember that I had just dyed my hair black and when I put on this dress I felt like Cleopatra. I think I didn't bother styling it up again because last year at this time, it seemed like every fashion blogger had one and I just gave up on trying to style it. After wearing this Rodarte for Target number, I thought up of  a bunch of ways to wear it. Which makes me happy because Kyle bought it for me, and I do want to wear it.

Oh and check out this pretty necklace I won from Cafe Fashionista's giveaway! I forgot to mention it last time I wore it.Whoops.

Right now I am currently enjoying being the only one awake in the apartment-which is odd since Louie is the one who woke me up and is  now snoozing in my spot in the bed-and it's already past 10am!  I kind of love being the only one awake sometimes. I have a long weekend of homework and paper writing ahead of me, meh. The only thing I really am looking forward to is the break we are getting in three weeks. Time for coffee.

    Yes, but can you be a Black Swan, Sara? You're perfect as the White Swan, but can you let yourself go?

    Just kidding. :) Enjoy your coffee.

    You look so cute, I want to have a ballerina day with you! Thrifted sweaters like this are fantastic. I was browsing through some a couple days ago and came across this one with a giant yarn pony on it, I almost died. haha
    Being up and about in a quiet house is peaceful.Perfect atmosphere to get some things done. Good luck with all your work this weekend! ♥

    You were awake around the same time I left for the dentist. Yea...just thought I'd throw that in there.

    Anyway, I looooooooooove your sweater. It is the cutest. I just got one from the men's section (it doesn't even look like a mens sweater although the tag swears it is but whatever) of Value World. It's the best thing ever. So comfy.
