Hey Dolls!
Happy Monday! I hope you babes had a fabulous weekend!
So I had originally picked out this outfit for this past weekend. John and I had planned on having a date night with two other couples. There was a music festival going on downtown, but we never ended up going. We couldn’t find a babysitter for Char, and it rained all weekend. Wait, scratch that, its been raining here for over a week now! Our backyard is flooded like the Great Flood of 1993. Charlotte and my dogs are not happy that they can’t play outside. Because of the rain, I honestly believe it’s made me more tired and irritable. I’ve been even less motivated to clean the house or do the laundry. I didn’t even want to get out of bed most of the week. We all definitely needed to get out of the house and socialize. So we all decided to have a wine night at Samantha’s house!
We always have such a great time together. The kids play while the adults drink wine and have adult conversations. You know, convos that don’t involve Disney? It is so refreshing after a week spent locked inside! I seriously do not know what I would do without these girls.
And the best part was spending time with my husband. Military life isn’t always easy on a marriage. We don’t get to spend as much one on one time with each other as we both would like. Spending time drinking and laughing with each other was just what we needed.
The only one who didn’t get to go out this weekend was my outfit. She was sad…HA-HA. The outfit is simple and comfortable for a date night. Express peplum tops are so perfect for dates. They fit tight were you want them to be and loose in other places… Obviously jeans are an easy pairing with this top. Can you tell I am super into floral this season? I am still so in love with these jeans from american eagle. They match almost everything! Simple black Steve Madden pumps and a gold clutch give this outfit the little extra you need for date night. Oh and don’t forget the hoop earrings! I’ve had a few people tell me they love that I still wear them. Did they ever go out of style? Well I guess this outfit will have to wait until the next date night!
This weekend was much needed for all. Charlotte got to let loose with her besties. And John and I were able to spend some much needed adult time with our friends.
