The Opera Sunday, April 20, 2008 7:11 PM

Dress: H&M. Grape necklace: H&M. Half slip: Vanity Fair. Pinstripe tights: Club Monaco. Black leather wedges: Seychelles.

Last night I attended the opera for the first time ever. The Barber of Seville was performing at the Four Seasons Centre. Prior to that, my friend and I had the most delicious mushroom ravioli at a restaurant on Queen West. I was going to ask my friend to photograph my outfit out on the street, but I forgot my camera.

Thanks! It took quite a few tries to get one mid-air instead of me awkwardly landing.

I really really love this dress worn with those tights! Does Monaco still have them in stock?

No, unfortunately not. I bought them last spring / summer. I would love to get my hands on another pair! I'm always paranoid about runs.

That's such a pretty outfit, especially the tights!

I'm loving your sriped tights, they are the perfect match to your dress. So how was your first time at the opera? I didn't attend to an opera yet but I want to go if there is an interesting performance to watch.

It was okay. I think I was too tired to enjoy it though. I'd been up since 7:45 that morning and during the first half my head started bobbing and my eye lids started drooping. The second half, after intermission, kept me awake though.

Lovely look. I've never been to an opera, but I adore the ballet.

Thank you. I've never been to the ballet, but I hope to go sometime sooner rather then later.

I guess that's one thing off the list of 8 to-do's :)

Great outfit for the opera--right for the grand occasion but not too serious.
