The Nutcracker

While visiting my family for Christmas we went to see the Nutcracker. We used to go every year with my grandma when we were younger, so I was really excited to see it again after such a long gap. It was as magical as ever, I think that Pas de Deux song will always make me cry, and I wore green velvet which made me feel fancy. It was no easy feat snapping a few photos of my outfit with my extremely cropped lens and bad, low light, but my dad did a pretty great job helping me out- and I kind of love how Sunset-Boulevardy they turned out. Hope everyone celebrating had a lovely Christmas- I know I'm not ready for the season to be over yet! I'm choosing to take with easy with posting this year- I'd rather just spend time with family. Happy Holidays!

    I danced in the Nutcracker for 8 years, and the Pas de Deux music will always make me cry! Tchaikovsky is among my favorite composers for that very reason. That dress and headpiece are so gorgeous.

    What a fun dress! I saw The Nutcracker once when I was younger and just about died - it was breathtaking. Happy holidays, pretty lady!

    Oh wow your dad did a fab job with these photographs. I wish anyone in my family could shoot this well, I'd have much more style photos up. Absolutely love the green velvet. Seriously, dying for some green velvet now.

    Lovely Christmassy outfit! I think I saw the Nutcracker once when I was younger. Not since then. This year I just watched movies.
