my 1st benefit dinner.

a lovely friend of mine invited us to join her at a benefit dinner for hanul family alliance.  it's a local non-profit organization that mainly serves seniors in the korean american community here in chicago.  the program included a heartfelt talk by euna lee about her unimaginable experience as a captive in north korea, a ridiculously hilarious comedic show by paul kim, & an energetic i-want-to-be-her-best-friend type of emcee by ellee pai hong.


we definitely enjoyed our night - unlimited EtOH can make parents who have a babysitter all night very happy.  but the company was even better.  we couldn't get enough of each other we ended up at denny's talking til the wee hours - gotta love that!
the lovely girls.


the happy boys.
i tried to get hubby to do an "outfit" picture with me, but we failed.
on hubby: shirt & suit - hugo boss, tie - bcbg. on me: dress - cass guy, earrings - palen
i was thinking about buying a new dress for this event, but decided to be frugal and pick at my closet.  this was my 4th time wearing this dress to a function.  am i the only one who continues to reuse her dresses?

  3. There's nothing wrong with re-wearing a dress! It's such a waste to just wear a dress once! Now that weddings have finally died down this year, I have nowhere to wear my dresses. :(
