Behind My Heels

Sometimes a girl just needs her BFF and a night out. And that is exactly what my friend Megan and I needed. We've been besties since our Freshman year of High School and haven't really seen each other in the last 10 years. It's not that we grew apart, but after High School I joined the Air Force and moved away. Then we both started our own families so getting together was hard. But now that my family has moved back to Ohio we're finally able to hang out again.

So for the last few weeks we've been planning this night out. A night out without our husband and kids is a rare event so we wanted to make the most of it. When I saw this dress from Shop at Obsession I couldn't stop drooling over it and knew I had to have it. The gold and black damask print with the flowy black top is just simply stunning. I kept my accessories simple because the skirt portion was the main focal point.

We ended up eating at an amazing restaurant from the Greene called The Pub. The appetizers, wine and main course were all just so good I couldn't stop eating, even when I was stuffed. I was even proud of myself for trying out a new cheese, gouda!

My yummy appetizer ( I swear I'm a totally picture foodie! )

Mozzerella "Bullocks" with a glass of Sequin Wine. Seriously, who can resist a glass of wine called sequin?!

My main course was a British comfort food.

Buttermilk Chicken with Gouda Mac n Cheese and a small side salad. Delicious!

(It was so beautiful out side this afternoon I decided to do my blogging from the porch)

I have to admit. I am completely obsessed with this kimono. If I could I'd wear it everyday, but then I'd probably start to get some weird looks from my neighbors! I love how it's so versatile. I can dress it up or down and wear it all year round. I love when I can find pieces that will last forever.

I'm going out to meet a friend at our favorite place tonight (Barnes and Noble..YES!) and I wanted to be somewhat dressy but still casual since it's a bookstore. So what says dressy casual than some cute summer white shorts and an amazing floral kimono?! And I even shocked myself by buying some white nail polish and rocking the all white look. Totally out of my comfort zone, but I figured hey as long as I like it who cares!

White is slowly becoming more and more of a staple item in my closet. It's great how there is no longer the "rule" saying you can't wear white after Labor Day. Psh. Wear white year round and its always amazing. I'm already planning on rocking these shorts with the white nail polish for the 4th of July. To me white is just like black. A staple and a neutral that can go with anything and can be worn in so many different ways.
