A Spoonful of Sugar









Vintage dress: Livejournal sale
Teal bow flats: H&M
Cream knit cardigan: Kohl's (shouldn't sweaters be out by now!? They were so hard to find :O)
Vintage taupe bag: Coach, thrifted

Finally an outfit post, yeesh! I wore this to go see Mary Poppins on Broadway with my mom and sister the other night :) I haven't been to many shows, so it's always such a special occasion to get dressed up to go. If you haven't seen it, you really should! I must have seen the Disney version about a million times and I really enjoyed the stage adaptation. Though I can't help but be nostalgic and favor the movie! It was a particularly educational gig for me, too, because we made sure to go the signed performance so I could see the ASL interpretation :D Which just added to the experience!

Here was by far my favorite part of the performance, and then the second is the original 1964 version. Enjoy!

    I am so jealous that you got to see Mary Poppins! It's my dream to see a Broadway show. I've only seen one musical, ever.

  14. You look fantastic, love the dress! OMG Mary Poppins on Broadway. I knew I wanted to marry my boyfriend when he surprised me with tickets for my birthday after two years of my incessant rambling about going. He even endured my singing all the songs afterwards on the way home! There is nothing like the movie.. and Julie Andrews. But I really missed "Portobello Road".

  19. Hello! Thanks for the comment on my blog :) The dress is from Ebay but came from Primark over here in the UK originally - I think you could probably Ebay one fairly easily if you don't mind the postage! That is good to hear though, I wasn't too sure about it but now I feel better :)

  20. What a deeply fantastic dress! I adore the that turquoise hue, it calls to mind the shades of a tropical beach and the serenity such a destination would impart.

    Wishing you a gorgeous Thursday,
    ♥ Jessica
