Stereotypical "cheerleader pose"

So this was actually last Friday. I planned on putting the outfit back on to get individual pictures... but that didn't really work out. So here are group pictures; that works right?

Anyways, I wore this all day Friday to classes and work, and around 5:30 pm I was working on a project when I was reminded that I had a banquet to be at in twenty minutes. Thank goodness I chose to dress up for class anyways!

As for the banquet, it was nice to celebrate the end of the football season. All of the players, cheerleaders, and some family members and supporters were there, so it was alot of fun.

The Cleopatra Dress

What
Dress: TJ Maxx
Shoes: Dillard's
Bracelets: Rue 21

Where
A Banquet to celebrate the end of the cheerleading season here at Saint Vincent

Why
I was really excited to get dressed up for this event- but unfortunately it was also one of those moments that you go, "omigosh! I thought I had 2 hours but now I only have 20 minutes until I have to leave!" Solution- dress+heels+a few simple accessories. I LOVE the neckline on this dress- It feels kind of egyptian to me, which is why I call it my cleopatra dress :) In all seriousness though, an interesting embellishment or design can make a simple garment go a long way.
