Last night, Jeff and Melissa invited us to join them at the opera! I’ve always always always wanted to go, and was thrilled that my very first opera would be Carmen…and at Lincoln Center, no less.

While getting ready, I did that thing where you pull every single dress out of your closet, decide that none of them looks good on you at all, and then end up wearing the very first thing you tried on. In my case, it was a black silk and lace Rebecca Taylor dress that I bought for the Winter Formal sophomore year of college (it’s aged well).
