Back In The Saddle
>> Friday, March 1, 2013
So I took a couple weeks off - things were getting so busy and I just needed a little break - but I'm back!
Happy
Friday!! I don't know about the weather where you are but here in
Chicago it's still snowing :-(. Apparently spring is 19 days away but
I'll believe that when I see it.
Last wekeend my parents were in town which was so
amazing to see them!! Ted and I had to go to a Black Tie event for the
charity (St. Vincent dePaul/Marillac Center) that I am on the board of.
It was our annual Fleur De Lis Ball.
The venue was gorgeous: it was
held at The Grand Ball Room at Navy Pier.
Getting all dressed up was so
fun. Ted had an excuse to wear his tux and you might think it was an
excuse for me to buy a new dress...however - I did not have time, nor
did I really feel like spending a few hundred dollars. So what did I
do???
When in doubt - call mom!!
Since
my mom has a TON of beautiful dresses, I called and asked if she could
bring a few out to Chicago for me to try on. She brought about 5
dresses...I loved all 5! And since she claims "you look way better in
all of these" I get to keep all 5 - which is great since we have so many
events scheduled this year!
BUT - the crem de la crem of my outfit (which you cant
see in the picture) are my shoes! We went shopping on Saturday and my
dad came across these beautiful shoes that he just insisted that I
needed for my outfit - and what kind of daughter woudl I be to refuse???
The event was great - we raised a ton of money for the
charity and it all goes to such a great cause! Throughout the night
they had a Silent Auction going in which Ted and I won a Gift Card to
Gibsons Steakhouse and an overnight stay and one of Chicago's boutique
hotels, Hotel Felix.
Along with gaining 5 new dresses to my wardrobe, my
mother was also kind enough to lend me some of her fun jewelry that I
always adore. These are just a few of the pieces!
