When you go to an awards show, you don't dress like a scrub.
Obv.
A while back my friend Shaun invited me to The Stranger Genius Awards at The Moore Theater.
I was ecstatic. I was envisioning red carpet, champagne, tuxedos and maybe even some sugar plum fairies.
While there were exceptions, what I got for the most part was flannel, Birkenstocks, and just plain old regular fairies.
Shame on you, Seattle. Would it kill you look like you give a shit every now and then?
This is what we wore:
Shaun always looks dapper and seems to shop exclusively at Lucky Vintage, Red Light and Goodwill. Of course, Lucky and Red Light are just glorified Goodwills with the sorting done for you, which you end up paying for.
The metallic feathering on my dress (also from Lucky Vintage) is actually meant to go above the shoulder, as it's just above the arm hole (hidden here by the feathers).
Velvet Dress: $35, Lucky Vintage
Feather Detail Pumps: $99 ($900!), Nina Ricci, Nordstrom Rack
