When: Friday, May 21st, 2010
Where: Work + Cirque du Soleil’s Banana Schpeel*
What: Embellished Tee (J. Crew), khaki skirt (Banana Republic), belt (H&M), shoes (Nicole Miller via Filene’s Basement)
Fridays are fairly laid back in my office, and I didn’t feel like putting on anything too fancy today. You’ll probably never catch me wearing an actual pair of khakis, so this is my take on the classic American look.
I’m a little obsessed with J. Crew’s embellished tees, so I try and collect them whenever they go on sale. This skirt is also a favorite, but I rarely wear it because it’s such a pain to iron those darn pleats.
All in all, tonight was a great wrap-up to an exhausting week. This was my 3rd Cirque du Soleil performance (thank goodness I narrowly escaped having to sit through Zumanity two years back). While the show was definitely fun, the production quality didn’t live up to what I was expecting. It just didn’t have “ooh-and-ahh” factor I usually associate with Cirque. Luckily, the tickets were free, so I was a happy camper.
*The evening’s activities also included a naughty side-excursion that involved hotdogs and cupcakes with way too much frosting, don’t ask.
