As much as I love my brights (follow me on Instagram to see all my annoyingly colorful outfits), I do still appreciate a black dress. But it must be a sassy black dress. The dress needs to be able to roll its eyes at people and make sarcastic comments. Otherwise, it has no place in my wardrobe. This dress is super comfy and definitely sassy. When I wore this dress out last weekend, it made snide remarks about a man who was wearing faux leather pants with Crocs. It wasn’t me, though; it was the dress. I told it not to be rude, but then the dress made a good point: the man was wearing faux leather pants with Crocs.

If there’s one decent thing that gets me through the tragic, ice-coated nightmare that is a Midwest winter, it is…AWARD SEASON. I love movies. I love TV. I love fashion. I love watching movies and TV and judging the fashion. Watching the Golden Globes and the Oscars is a little more fun when you’re informed, so in January we find out what’s getting “buzz” and warm up with some hot popcorn at the movies! This past weekend we saw The Post, and the weekend before that (when I wore this outfit) we saw I, Tonya. Both were great, but if I’m being honest…I liked I, Tonya better [insert slightly embarrassed but unapologetic emoji face here]. I, Tonya is funny, it’s clever, it’s moving, it makes you think, and best of all, it involves figure skating and 90s bangs.

We still have a few weeks before the Oscars – what else should I see?!
