ff to the theatre I went today with MM to see ‘West Side Story’ which is one of my favourite musicals of all time. I wasn’t that impressed with the production design or costuming but the music is just so wonderful.
Anyhow, I’ve always found it easier to dress for the theatre in the evening rather than a matinee, but decided that a dress was a sort of, all-in-one solution as to what to wear. There were people there in jeans and trainers, I suppose these days dressing up for the theatre isn’t seen as a social necessity. I didn’t get a pic of my trench and scarf but you can see them peeking through in the detail shot.

i love your bag!! and thanks for the quick review of west side story. i was really hesitant to watch it or not.
West Side Story is about to come to Perth and I am so excited! It’s funny because I have seen practically every other music apart from that one, so it should be good!
Love the dress. looked like the YSL dress from S/S 2010. But instead of the dots, YSL had little red strawberries. But still a great dress on you ><
Keep dressing up Lady M, there still needs to be a few diamonds in the rough
Sleekit x
When I went to see Wicked during a night show I saw people there in jeans and t-shirts. I think a little bit of magic is taken out of the theater when people don’t dress up.
Love the nail polish and love the chunky ring! Can’t believe it is DIVA! Gorgeous.
I agree with cottonsocks, that people just don’t dress up anymore, for anything really. As a flight attendant, it really disappoints me how people rock up to the plane for their flights – thongs, tank tops etc. I, too remember as a child having to wear my best clothes possible, even just to catch the tram into the city. Such a shame.
StylingYou- ha ha ha, everyone loves this bag!!
Cate- yep, purchased recently as well so you might be able to get it online.
cottonsocks- maybe if you were taken to the theatre as a child you have that nostalgia about dressing up? It was me and the nannas today, quite funny really 😛
Bronny- ta!
damienheath- EXACTLY!
Yes it makes me sad when people do not make the effort to dress up for events. I think its all part of the fun of going out.
I love the bag girl!
perfect matinee outfit!!
it really irks me how people dress for the theatre these days.
its like they think its a cinema or something!!
i dont get it.
i remember when i was young being so excited to wear my best dresses to the theatre.
these days its like people just drop in after they do their groceries or something.
