What I Wore: Purple Power

A couple weeks ago, Mr. Diva and I went to our new favorite comedy club, the Helium Comedy Club, to see Patton Oswalt.  It was a much-needed night of laughter.  If you follow me on Instagram, you already know we had great seats (and that I love the club decor!).


I had a cocktail called a Pineapple Upside Down Cake that was delicious.  Next time we go, I need to write the ingredients down and try to make it at home.  Off the top of my head, I can tell you it had Amaretto, pineapple juice, and orange juice in it.  The club also serves this tasty, cheesy mushroom dip with buttery little toasts for dipping.  I know it is thoroughly unhealthy, but indulging now and then is okay.

Patton was hilarious, trying out some new material and talking to the audience.  He does such a great job when talking to the crowd.


It was a rather warm day, so I wanted to stay cool and be (of course) cute at the same time.  I bought this purple version of the Kiyonna Trina Top and couldn't wait to wear it.  It is definitely a more true purple in person than it shows on the website.  I own this top in blue as well, so you know I love it.  The material is so soft and comfortable.  The sleeves are just how I like them.  I feel it is such a flattering style. (I want to collect them all! I still need green and black :-)

Trina Top - Kiyonna
Denim Capris - Penningtons (picked them up last summer)
Sandals - Avenue (from Spring 2011, I believe)
Necklace - Lane Bryant (Similar here)
Bracelets - Have had them forever

I didn't use garment tape on the boobage this time because we were in a hurry, so I had a few issues with that.  As I've stated before, I am a very small-busted plus-size woman (I'm barely a B), so I do tend to have issues with the bust of all tops.  If you have larger breasts, this won't be an issue for you.  Still, it wasn't that big of a deal to me.

All in all, it was a great night.  I can't wait to go back!  It seems like they have a lot of big name comedians quite often.  Laughter is the best medicine, right?



Do y'all like makeup photos?  I was proud of my eyeshadow that night.  Among other things, I used Urban Decay's Stardust eyeshadows in 54 and Retrograde.
