The Last Supper

This night was not nearly as epic as the title might lead you to believe, but it was a last dinner of sorts.  It was our last dinner out with Gil and Sue before their baby boy arrives...which is any day now!  Thus far our friendship has been childless and we are about to enter new territory here with their baby coming.  So we thought it only right to have one last night out!  (At least for awhile.)  We also decided we should go somewhere nicer, before we end up in the Olive Garden crowd :-)

Getting dressed for dinner was also a rare occurrence for me...I actually wore the first thing I put on!  That almost never happens to me, but I really liked what I came up with on my first try.  I love when the look in my head and the actual look are the same.  I, like many of you cold weather people, am so bored with my wardrobe.  I am dying for some fun spring inspired clothing.  So, instead of buying new clothes that I don't need, I tried playing with proportions to change it up.  I usually wear this polka dot silk blouse tucked in, but it changed it up completely by leaving it to hang long.  Plus, I went with the black and white trend, which is big right now.  Bonus, I was really comfortable and you could totally eat a lot in this :-)

Bargain Hunting at its Best

Hello my fashion followers! Sorry for the long delay in posts...I had a computer malfunction :-) But never fear, I have a new blog post for you all! I know you have been waiting with baited breath.

I call this blog entry my bargain hunting genius at work! It's one of my better skills in life, which probably stems from my love of shopping.  I am never deterred or scared off by an unorganized clearance rack or a resale store with too many options to sort thru.  It's the thrill of the hunt that makes the find so victorious.  And this outfit is one of my best finds in recent history.  The top is from a resale store in Novi called 'Clothing Mentor.' And the skirt was on clearance at Target for only $7! I knew right away when I found the skirt how I was going to wear it.  One of my favorite things in life is when an outfit in my head actually comes out how I planned when I put it on.  Often times, it's more of a disaster that leads to lots of trying on before I settle on something.  This one was so easy!
