Sequins Are A Girl's Best Friend

I spied this dress early this semester and immediately decided I needed it for graduation. The very same day that I was granted my mom's seal of style approval, it sadly sold out at Free People. They even tweeted me that they weren't expecting to get more in. (As much as I love new media, it sure doesn't help heal retail-related broken hearts.)

Magically, the dress reappeared online and, fatefully enough, the only one left happened to be my size.

It's very short, it's very sequined, and it came in right before my last sorority formal, so I decided to wear it instead of waiting another two months (and covering it up in a drab graduation gown). It was a good choice; wearing sequins makes dancing so much more fun.
