Earlier this month, Tim surprised me with two early birthday presents. The first gift was meant to allude to the second present.

First, he brought me a small wrapped package the shape of a box that gave the familiar feeling of a jewelry box. Inside was a gorgeous Pandora charm – a pair of ballet slippers. Now, I’m not a ballerina so I had the slightest feeling where this may go. Next, he gave me a slim package with tickets inside to see the Nutcracker Ballet at the Kennedy Center!!

Easy to say – I was very excited!


I wanted to share some photos of the night with you all! I wore a black dress, curled my hair, and accessorized with a red bow for my hair (from Target, but here is a very similar one) and my Pandora bracelet with the newest addition of my ballet slippers charm. Tim wore a black dress shirt and opted for a red tie so we matched!


I found my dress last year at Ross (I believe), but Amazon has similar black dresses with lace. Here are just a few I found!


Without further adieu, here are the looks for our night out!
