Sometimes a girl just needs to sparkle!

 
...and for me, this is one of those weekends. After weeks of being stressed and sick and exhausted, I've finally had a great week, and I am ready to take full advantage of my health and mood (before the freezing temperatures settle in). So I will be donning my ombre sequin dress from Express and joining my best lady friends for a night of dinner, cocktails, and dancing in this beautiful city of Chicago.

What are your plans for the weekend? Anything special happening? Spill the beans!

I love how you have shown how sparkles can be done casual like in the first image. How great does that chunky knitted snood look with the gold jacket!

Sounds like so much fun Alaina! Have a great night. Southport Grocery potatoes sound like the perfect little pick me up you might be needing tomorrow morning after a night out on the town :)

Sparkles always help with getting over being sick or having a blah week. I hope you have a fantastic weekend! I think mine might be a little too low key for a full on sparkle dress, but I'm sure I'll squeeze a little of it in. :)

I so agree. Nothing better than a little sparkle. Turning 30 this weekend, the theme of the party = Glitter. Sequined dresses galore! Happy weekend.
