OOTN December 30: A Sweet 16

Hey everyone! On December 30, I went to a Sweet 16 for my friend Alex. It was one of the best the best parties I went to in 2016. Sweet 16s are usually big parties where everyone dresses up, so I found the cutest outfit and I wanted to share it with you all. My outfit wasn't expensive, but it still looked very classy (in my opinion).

My outfit:
Romper - Cue Boutique ( a local boutique in the area that  I live in) $30
High Heeled Booties - Buffalo Exchange (a thrift store in the Lower East Side of Manhattan) $24
Black Tights

I was in desperate need of a haircut, so the day before the party I had my hair cut and straightened. I rarely have my hair straightened (only about three times in the past year), so it was definitely a special occasion.

The outfit was very different than other things I have worn to Sweet 16s. When I first went to these parties, I wore dresses that were a bit longer and would make me feel like a princess when I spun. Then I went to a few birthdays in bodycon dresses (jncluding my own party), and lastly rompers became my item of choice. Not many people wear rompers, but I love them.
 

It wasn't planned that my friend, Nina, and I wore black, but it was the perfect time for a photo opt. 
 

Before the party, Emily and I took photos in our faux fur. My purple jacket was between $50 - $60 from Forever 21.

Question: What do you wear to birthdays/ sweet 16s?
