Broadway Musical Outfit Review

The Cinderella Musical in San Jose turned out to be quite enjoyable. I just love anything Disney Princess related.  I felt like a little girl again. It took me into this magical dreamy world away from all my worries and cares for a good two and a half hours. The actresses and actors did an outstanding job; considering it is a Broadway show, that’s not surprising at all.

The outfit I ended up wearing was the Old Navy Denim Dress with the Madden Girl pumps.  Since it is a dress (I love wearing dresses) and because my husband suggested it I ended up going with that option.  Also, since it was Holi (Hindu festival of colors) I wanted to go with something new; in Hinduism it is auspicious to wear new clothes on religious festivals.  I feel auspicious and “pure” when I do so for some reason–it was probably something that was ingrained into me by my mom during childhood!

I am glad I went with the dress.  Since it is denim and I could roll the sleeves down, it kept me warm enough in the chilly theater.  The only complaint I had about it though was that it kept riding up when I sat down because it is a stretchable denim material.  I was wearing opaque tights with it so it wasn’t much of an issue.  I felt quite elegant with the pumps; I don’t get to wear heels too often. But they were killing my toes after an hour of wearing them; I think maybe because I was wearing them out for the first time and they still needed to be broken in.  I really hope they get more comfortable since those are probably my favorite pair of heels, probably the tallest pair of heels I own.  I thought they were supposed to be comfortable because of the platform and initially it did seem like it in the store.  I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

I just love it when everyone is so dressed up at an event, since you rarely see that nowadays especially in the California Bay Area.  I was actually quite pleasantly surprised.

Here I am all excited to watch the musical…

I am attending Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Broadway Musical “Cinderella” tomorrow evening with my husband–so excited!  The best part is that it’s another opportunity to dress up. Yay! What I love most about it is daydreaming about the perfect outfit, maybe even more so than actually wearing it at the event. I have a few outfits I thought of…bought this cute denim dress from Old Navy which I haven’t worn yet.  I am planning on styling it with a red or mint skinny belt. For footwear I plan to wear either olive colored booties, brown tall boots, or nude Madden Girl pumps. If it is too cold out I might add some dark blue tights.

It would be really bold of me to wear this new plain yellow sari from Utsav Fashion I bought a while ago that I still have not had an opportunity to wear.  I would add either a black halter blouse or a sleeveless multi-colored brocade one. I am obsessed with saris and would wear them on most days of the week if I could. I always feel a little uncomfortable wearing a sari even to Indian events, because it seems like its popularity is dying out; so unfortunate. Some big dangling black and gold earrings and a pair of nude Madden Girl pumps would look awesome with it. When I bought the shoes initially I had the idea of wearing them with a sari. It would totally add even more elegance.

Another option of what I could wear are these Mossimo black leather skinnies with a light pink H&M printed top. And the Madden Girl pumps would be perfect with this outfit. I never imagined the nude pumps would be so versatile!
