The Margarita Ball was fantastic!
I didn't end up getting a full body shot of my outfit, but you can see my hair (sort of?) in those pictures. I had too many margaritas so all of the pictures are pretty awful.
I ended up getting these shoes because they were 1. cute 2. on sale for $15 and 3. I would wear them more than just once. They didn't really fit with my outfit THAT much... but when everyone's drunk who really cares? I thought that the shoes would be comfortable because they are flat but I ended up with a blister about the size of a quarter by the end of the night. Harsh!
The last picture is the HUGE mound of toys that were donated to Dallas Children's Charity. There were actually more than that, but that's all I could get in the frame. This wasn't just a lot of fun, they were actually doing a good deed. There was also a silent auction that collected a TON of money and a casino where all of the profits went to the charity as well. I ended up winning $900 at the poker tables. It was my first time playing, so I was really excited. I didn't keep the money... which was less exciting, but it all went to a good cause.

EVENT:
Dallas Margarita Ball.
Charity event. Invitation only. Very formal. Free margarita fountains.
My friend, Dee, normally volunteers so she can get an invite, she e-mailed the person that manages the volunteers and they squeezed me in. I am really excited, to say the least. Oh, and this sucker is next Saturday.
I have never been to anything formal before. I didn't even go to prom. I have never matched formal items together. I went the cheap route and I picked up this amazing black gown from Salvation Army for $10. Freakin' steal, right?
(Sorry about the fuzzy pictures, my digital camera is out of batteries and I am lazy... so I resorted to bad cellphone pictures. You get the idea though. Floor length and black with lacy details.)
The problems:
1. WHAT SHOES DO I WEAR? Please send suggestions of styles for me to look for. Also keep in mind that I am 5'10 so if you suggest four inch heels I will then be 6'2. I don't want to be a giantess at this event.
2. What should I do with my hair?! Up? Down? Curly? Straight?! I have NO idea!
3. What is some good um... form shaping items? I have gained some weight and I totally have a pooch. Sad :(
Help me, my fashionable Kaboodle friends!

As you can tell from my new user icon, I have some sweet new hater blockers.
Fred Flare was having another one of their grab bag sales and I was feeling very random... so I ordered one.
This is what I got in my bag:
I am kind of disappointed because the description said there would be candy in the bag. I didn't get any candy at all! When I ordered I was afraid it was going to be mostly candy... so I got completely the opposite of what I was thinking. I also don't understand the random cherry at all.

This is what I got in my bag:
- Sweet Shudder Sunglasses (Bringin' back the '80s!)
- A shiny red scarf
- Donut necklace (that already broke)
- Colored pencils
- Purple bow earrings and bracelet
- Happy orange keychain
- Miniature air guitar and pick (I think this is a card?)
- 4 plastic heart bangles that I will never be able to fit on my wrist
- Hamburger, fry and coke erasures
- Pinup peppermint lip balm
- Random plastic cherry

The past week I have been having problems with spilling everything everywhere. Especially drinks that stain a lot. I spent forever trying to get red wine out of my expensive khaki pants last Monday. Apparently I am three-years-old again, I am just now equipped with more stain-able drinks. Wednesday morning I had a cup full of coffee and I was trying to drink it while I was driving to work. I ended up spilling it all down the front of my white blouse. I spent like 30 minutes in the bathroom trying to make myself look presentable, but it would not come out at all. So, I gave up and went over to Target to see what I could get there for cheap.
This is the cutest thing that I found that was work appropriate. I think it was $9.99 in the store. It fits really well and is light and airy enough for our 90+ degree Texas weather. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it, which is surprising for just a cotton t-shirt. For the price the shirt has a lot of detail. The bows on the arms are adorable and the ruffles on the front of the shirt are really cute. I got it in red because that matched the rest of my outfit the best, but they also had it in purple, white, yellow, and black.
