Martini Monday

Dressin' like a dude...

My friend Amy decided to host these get togethers on Monday nights in which she gets to show off her awesome bar tending skills and we get to put on silly costumes.  Pure fun.  This Monday was "Manly Monday," and was the perfect excuse to wear a bowtie.  I know, like anyone really needs an excuse to wear a bowtie... but I digress.

black skinnies (Target), blue button-up (H&M), vest (Forever 21), chucks (?, I've had these since high school), bow tie (JCPenney)

The goal for the Nerd on the Budget was to do the costume without purchasing anything, a total costume from the closet.  Of course this helps if you can also shop from your fiancé's closet.  I stole the hat from J.  The only thing I purchased was the bowtie, but it was only $7 and I've wanted a bowtie for forever.  So, I wrote this off as a necessary expense.  Plus, it had martinis on it.  It was meant to be...

me and Nen, my bestie

Nen and I looked pretty durn dapper.  We decided she looked like she belonged in an 80's music video and I looked like I was out for a gig with Mumford & Sons.  I took that as a compliment.

Dress up every now and then.  Then make up a persona and act as that person all night.  It's super fun.

Your Nerd on a Budget,
