I'll Hufflepuff and I'll Blow your House Down!

H&M yellow ruffle tiered dress (tucked into pants) (Euro size ???) // Ann Taylor cropped black pants (0P straight) // `twentythree "Hedwig's Ballad" dangling owl earrings // Xhilaration yellow strappy wedges (5.5) // Urban Outfitters double face watch //

I feel quite proud of myself for coming up with that punny title. Of course, this is after all a disguise of an outfit - a wolf in sheepskin, or a snake in badgerskin? My my, the sly Slytherin in me is showing. This was my work outfit for 7/14, the day of the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 2 (aka HP7.2). Perfectly sunny and bright like any Hufflepuff, but my true colours will show in the Harry Potter inspired photoshoot my friends and I are doing soon. If you haven't seen the movie, go! Not as epic of a conclusion as I had hoped, but the WashU-filled theatre had some good laughs. Won't spoil it for you ; )

Ignore the large pimple on my nose. It's just chilling there, making frenemies with the local pores. Meanwhile, these beautiful earrings from `twentythree handmade are so unique and perfect for the occasion! I got lots of "wows" and compliments on them throughout the day. After an entire day of wear, they felt heavy and are most comfortable for a few hours. Still, Hedwig and cages - perfect. I put on my favourite red lipstick, Lancome Rouge Baroque after work for these pictures and it stayed on until 3 AM. 

Funny story about the H&M bright yellow ruffle dress I'm wearing here as a top - there's no size tag. It was lost somewhere inside the store but I figured it fit well enough, like a Euro 6? The black sash can go more than twice around my waist and is nice for cinching for a better fit. This combo was inspired by Jen of herwaisechoice btw, mad props to her sweet and always put-together style. It was a wonder that I could stuff all the dress material into my pants - seemed nigh impossible at first. Scored these cropped black work pants at Ann Taylor Factory at the Lake of the Ozarks outlet mall for $15. Apparently I'm a 0P Straight leg - funny because all the petite bloggers are much tinier than me, so I started out trying on size 4 Curvy xD

Work, MCAT, secondaries. Wear, shoot, edit. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Those earrings are mad awesome! Love it!

I just watched Harry Potter, too. I'm a loyal fan of the books, but have to admit that this final movie was pretty good. As usual, they deviated a little bit, but I guess the gist of it is there. Emotions were expressed well, don't you think? ;)

And I totally lol-ed at your punny title. Love your bright, sunny outfit

I loved HP 7.2 and I agree, the conclusion wasn't what I expected but I would watch the movie over and over if I could!

I love your shoes and earrings!
