It all started on Wednesday when I met my friend for a girl's night wine tasting. It was a small one at a local family-owned restaurant, it included food pairings, and it was amazing. I used it as an opportunity to re-try these ankle pants. I think it was a slight improvement...
Next up was the weekend which included a celebration of B's birthday, Mother's Day, and our 7 year wedding anniversary. To commemorate this momentous occasion we spent a child-free night at a hotel downtown (where they treated us to an awesome room upgrade and a wonderful bottle of champagne)....
A chance to get dressed up (B actually surprised me with an awesome dress as an anniversary gift, but sadly it was frrreeeezing out, so I had to go with something winter-y. Stupid Chicago weather). Shoes and necklace are from Target, dress is from my Mom. She got it from a little boutique store in MI. It is the same one I wore for NYE.....
And a fancy-foodie dinner out with friends....
We came home to in time for me to spend some Mother's Day couch-time with these 2 munchkins, and ended the weekend with a super 5$ Little Ceasar's pizza dinner.
And not to get all sappy, but 7 years ago today I made the best decision of my life. I am not sure I could make it in this world without you, B. Thanks for being my everything.
I love the second iteration of these pants! Maybe they work better with a flowy, less fitted top? I think that outfit is really cute, and the long necklace is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I'm glad you could get away to the city to celebrate :)
I think this top is actually more fitted / less piratey, either way, I agree that this second installment was better. I was definitely more comfortable. Although that could just be the black.
DeleteAnd thanks, it was definitely a great night!
Ashli and B, I am so happy for you you had such a nice weekend - and Happy Anniversary! Ours (the 5th) was also this weekend :-) Beautiful dress! Would also like to see the one B got you, though ;-)
ReplyDeleteOooooooh, we are almost anniversary twins! Did you do anything fun to celebrate?
DeleteAnd I will definitely be showcasing my new dress at some point, Imlove a reason to get dressed up!
That room is ridiculous - like bigger than my house! Glad you had a great celebration. That picture of you and Julie is so cute! Looking forward to celebrating with you guys in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteIt was seriously amazing. The pictures here don't do it justice. It was hard to leave. B had to drag me away.
DeleteAnd you know I had to teach Julie how to camera face. She was lifting her chin!
We will have to decide on desserts, can't wait!
