Well guys, I can phone it in for the next 2 weeks because this is probably the best I will look this year. My office holiday party was black tie (lawyers…so pretentious, right?) so I took full advantage of the opportunity to look fancy. I knew at a formal event – especially one full of attorneys – there would be a lot of long black dresses, so in an effort to stand out, I went for a short white one. I know a little white dress is usually more of a warm weather thing, but the texture of this one kind of reminded me of a snowflake, and I decided to add Santa-red shoes and lips. In other words, if you thought this was a summer dress…what the hell were you thinking?
I felt like a celebrity on an award show red carpet in this, so in that spirit I feel like I should give some credit to the people who helped me look so good: my wife for taking really great photos, my friend and stylist Brandy for giving me this braid crown, Rent the Runway for existing so I could rent a dress I can’t afford to buy, and Pure Barre for helping me get in great shape over the past 4 months! And my mom. Because you always have to thank your mom.

HOT DAMN. you look good girl. like real good. like…how do i do this barre stuff so I can look like that? also can your friend come do my hair. also increase this dress about 10 sizes and then send it to me.
Well I already sent it back to Rent the Runway, but I’m sure they can send you one in whatever size you like! And you will ROCK it. Do med students have a prom kind of thing? We had Barristers Ball in law school, so it was a good excuse to get fancy.
Pretty I love this look

I was looking at that dress on RTR, and you look amazing in it. Perfect hairdo for this look as well.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress. My friend wore it for her bridal shower and I drooled over it then. I think I need a fancy event so I can rent it! Happy Holidays!
