Ice Cream & Shopping


Saturday we celebrated the 1st year of our friend’s daughter’s birth by attending an adorable Ice Cream themed birthday.  Target, in my opinion, has trendy outfits at affordable prices for all age groups… including 12-18 month olds, so this is where we got Miss Charles’ outfits

Naturally, I picked up two dresses for moi

I wore the orange dress to Charlie’s birthday; the high was 102 degrees and even though I wore a cardigan {I have to have a finishing piece to make it an outfit} it wasn’t unbearable… after all, discomfort is the price we pay for fashion, even in the casual world.  I did try to find an ice cream themed dress, but sadly I failed.

 
Recently we’ve been getting back to our youngster selves & stopped acting like old fudi-dudies; meaning, we’ve going out and trying new places, as in bars. The one we’ve been frequenting the most is Proof Patio & Lounge where the girls are dressed to impress where I feel like my 50s inspired outfits are sub-par so I’ve been looking for outfits to step up my game; this is where the above blue dress comes into play. I bought those shoes a while back {they’re 6” tall, neon, & fabulous} & the minute I saw that dress, those shoes popped into my mind. The dress still isn’t as short and as revealing as the other ladies, but I’ve never been that type of girl, plus I’m married, I’m not trying to snag a man, but I still don’t want to blend & not embarrass our friends who own the place. 

Yes, I'm trying to save $, and no, shopping isn't helping that matter, BUT we're not eating out due to starting our Advocare 24 day challenge {I'm hoping to drop at least 5lbs to jump start my healthy life style that I'm trying to get back to} so that's how I'm justifying my latest purchases.
