So anyway, I had originally planned on wearing something a little more "holiday" (read: sparkling, sequins, gold, etc), but I'm not quite in holiday mode yet, so I pulled this frothy little number out of my closet instead. And while we're talking about dresses and theatre, why do people not dress up anymore for such an occasion? Sure, some people were dressed up, but for every person who donned their sparkling theatre best, there were about 10 more rolling in looking like they were hitting up a local dive bar. And this is a really nice, formal theatre. Do not get. Am I alone in this?

LOVE your outfit, Christie!
And I'm with you - no one "dresses" for things anymore. Fancy dinners, night at the theater - some people just don't care.
Last year, the family and I went to see the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall the day after Thanksgiving. Now, my opinion on daytime shows or matinees are a little relaxed, and I'm willing to concede that people spent the morning walking around, then went to the show... but it felt like we were the most dressed up people there! I saw one man in ripped up jeans and a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off (keep in mind this was in November) - unbelievable. It's Radio City Music Hall, people!
Anyways.
Thanks, Brandi! And yes, I will definitely give people a little more leeway if it's a matinee, but an 8 p.m. show on a Saturday? No. And also, Radio City Music Hall? No. At least get out of your ripped up weekend jeans and put on some nice pants or something!
