Night fever

iPhone red eye correction: Never worth the trouble.

Last night my boyfriend and I went on a date and since he was away for a few days, I wanted to make sure I pulled out a fabulous dress and looked my best to welcome him home. I knew this dress, called the "sexy pencil dress" from ASOS was the perfect number.



We went out and had a great time, but I made the blogging mistake of snapping photos at night with my crappy iPhone. Lesson learned, they never come out light enough on their own without having to lighten or add a filter. And red eye correction is garbage. But at least you can see the look. And, it kind of adds to a cool dreamy vibe (Am I reaching? Maybe). In the words of Tim Gunn, I did my best to "make it work."

In the interest of full disclosure, here is one of the photos without any filters. BO-ring!

I paired this dress with my favorite Lela Rose pumps, which are actually black and blue but look more purple-y in these photos. They have a fabulous bow detail on the side that adds a nice girly touch. Business in the front, party on the side! Ha.


What's your go-to date-night outfit?
