The Met at Night

Last weekend, the girls and I spent three days in Manhattan and after dinner at Pastis, we headed to The Met, which is open until 9pm on Friday and Saturday nights.  

This dress.  A few years ago I did a year of no shopping and learned to stop buying the same things over and over again.  But this dress in its sunny shade of yellow is unlike anything in my closet.  It's a very fun thing to pull out for dinner.
