Hooray! In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been looking forward to going to the ballet for a while. Isn’t Kevin THE BEST!! Ballroom dance classes and ballet in the same week. I think I might owe him a camping trip… someday. Maybe when it’s warm again.
I can’t believe we had never been to the Denver Performing Arts Complex!!
So pretty!
All dolled up:
Maybe the dress was a little over the top… but hey, I had fun wearing it!!! Sparkly!! And those heels just might be the highest I’ve ever owned. And I did my wedding hair… not as good without Lisa to help me, but it only took me about two minutes.
Plus glasses and cardigan! I love this Gap cardigan! I’m not really a sweater person, but this one is cozy and the color is perfect!
The lovely outtake Kevin captures every time I have him take 50 pictures of me.
All ready to go with my hot date!
We even had a Grey’s Anatomy moment in the elevator. Haha.
We sat in the first row of the balcony so we definitely had a good view! Of course, I couldn’t take any pictures during the actual ballet, but it was amazing! I’m a big fan of the Tchaikovsky score so it was fun to hear the music performed live as well.
Of course we brought snacks!! I bought a special treat for myself — the little pumpkin candies — and Almond Joy pieces for Kevin James. Our usher wasn’t overly observant so we stayed out of trouble. They also had a nice bar in the lobby of each floor, but we didn’t partake. I didn’t know they’d have soda and coffee!!
Now let’s talk about the number of stairs I had to walk in those shoes!!! We were on the balcony level of the building on the left. And the sixth floor of the parking garage. That’s like a marathon in high heel steps!! 
Have you been to the ballet? Taken ballet class? We’re definitely excited to go to more concerts, plays, and ballets downtown! Loving that it’s so close. I told Kevin that if we were stilling living in Minnesota, we’d still have a 2+ hour drive home!!
You look so beautiful!!!
I’ve never been to a ballet, but my family likes to watch the Nutcracker every Christmas
soo I’m gonna move in with y’all. y’all have so much fun! haha baking. doggie funs. and now ballet shows?! I wanted to take ballet or some form of dance class when I was younger. it never worked out since I was told I had to play the violin.
they just look so angelic!
That dress is awesome!! You look great
Also, those little pumpkins are so delicious – I love eating them during this time of year. So festive!
love this time of year for one reason and one reason alone. Candy pumpkins. LOL.
I have not been to the ballet but my wife swears she is going to get me there one day…we will see
Ahhhh please share where you got that dress! Could be perfect for my wedding rehearsal!
Ahhhh we finally get to see the sparkly dress!!! I love love love it! And the green with the nude is fantastic!
Hi, omg I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress, so stunning! Btw so happy I am finding amazing blogs today, made my morning, yep here it’s monday morning! Anyway I love the ballet for many reasons one I use to watch back stage as my mum who was a soloist for a company performed, she was beyond amazing, I however lacked the turn-out and wasn’t as gifted as her so I took on gymnastics instead, but I took the odd ballet/ dance class which was always fun! Opps I could probably keep rambling as I do love ze ballet but I have to get back to cramming for an exam, I have been doing a great job of procrastinating on here for at least an hour oh dear! Can’t wait to read more of your blog oh oh and I LOVE GREYS, I cried in the episode last week! Auds
cute dress! def not over the top. i’ve never been to a ballet, but would love to go some day!
I love watching ballets. Great snack idea in your bag.
Oh my goodness I absolutely ADORE that dress and you look stunning in it! I have never actually been to the ballet, but I would like to someday
Looks like a great night out and you guys look so nice.
The last time I went to the ballet was probably 6 or 7 years ago. My mom took me, my sister-in-law and niece to see The Nutcracker.
I love that dress! And the shoes! Perfect outfit! I’ve been to the ballet and love it! I was a dance major in college so ballet classes were a requirement! I definitely miss them now that I no longer take them!
I’ve been to the ballet a few times when I was younger. Something tells me my husband would be pretty reluctant if I tried to get him to take me!
I love the dress and the neon cardigan looks great with it!
Wowza! I love the dress on you. What a find! And the shoes–holy cow, I’d kill myself in those. There’s no way I could pull that off without falling or being an awkward dork the whole time. lol. But you look beautiful! So fun!
Your dress is amazing. I love it! I took ballet when I was younger but haven’t ever been to an actual ballet. I will have to work on convincing the husband
I love going to plays with the husband- a great reason to get dressed up! I love your dress– the neon cardigan is a nice touch
