Last night I got all dolled up to go to my favorite Charity Event for the Junior League. Its is a always a great time at Windy City Nights; Charlie plays in the poker tournament and I play craps…all for charity.
I was shocked last night when Charlie came to find me at 9:30 pm. He got bumped from the tournament early. I’m going to attribute it to medicine head and him not being on his A-game. He has made it to the final table every year since the tournament started.
We were able to mingle together last night which was a lot of fun. We also bid and won Bonnaroo tickets! So I guess were going to Tennessee in June for a music festival long weekend . I suppose I now have a goal for trying to lose 15-20 lbs by June other public humiliation in the form of wearing a bathing suit at the East Bank pool.
I got this dress on the clearance rack at TJ Maxx. I think I paid $10 bucks for it…maybe less several years ago. I’ve been wanting to wear it for a while now as a little cocktail dress. I wore it with tights that were more like leggings and tall knee boots on New Years. The boots covered up most of my legs and I was sitting most of the night.
I tried the dress on prior to wearing it to make sure it wasn’t too scandalous.
I got a lot of compliments and my hair last night. I was inspired by Sara Jessica Parker on Sex in the City back in 2003 and my look first appeared at one of my friend weddings
I take to falls and make HUGE bun. But I often add some sort of jewelry on the side of the bun.
