Outfit of the Day: No BBQs but a Couple of Outings for Memorial Day Weekend

We didn't go out to any BBQs during this past Memorial Day weekend but we did have a couple of really fun outings for the long weekend!


On Friday the school we share the building with a my work was having their annual graduation ceremony. The parking lot is always crazy on that day so I opted to stay home and took the day off as a vacation day. I didn't leave the house all day but I stayed home and cleaned the house real good instead which was a great start of the weekend in my book!

Then on Saturday Tim took me out to Chevy's for lunch before I took him out to see the new Poltergeist movie. Lunch was nice. I had my favorite, flautas, and Tim had their crab enchiladas and while I was planning on having a Margarita after lunch I chose instead to try a coffee liqueur drink, which is something I always wanted to try. My drink was coffee, Bailey's Irish cream, and Kahlua. It was alright. If I made it for myself I would put some more creamer and sugar in the drink though. ;) Tim had a yummy rum chata colada.

The movie was alright. I wasn't really expecting much but wanted to see it none-the-less because the original Poltergeist is my favorite American movie ever.

After the movie we went to Target and ran errands, but before heading home Tim treated me to Jamba Juice. I had a peanut butter smoothie... another first for me of things I've always wanted to try. It was fun to get to cross some things off my bucket list. Both the coffee liqueur drink and the peanut butter smoothie were alright but I don't think they would be my first choice again ;)

On Sunday we went to play miniature golf at the place right by our house. We've been living in our house for almost 5 years now and haven't gone yet to play miniature golf so that was nice to finally get to go. After that we went to Nation's for lunch and each had a salmon burger and a slice of pie. After that we walked around the mall for a bit then went home.

On Monday we happily relaxed at home before having to start the work week on Tuesday again.


Outfit of the Day:

Saturday:
I decided to get a little fancy on Saturday with my Trashy Diva Black Velvet Audrey dress. I thought this was the perfect dress to wear to see Poltergeist. I paired this with my black velvet Ginger jacket, also by Trashy Diva and was pleasently surprised how well they went together. It was a little cold that day so I also paired it with some maroon tights, a maroon beret (both from Forever 21), and a pair of velvet mary janes (from Urban Outfitters). For the day I also got out my velvet flocked Coach black ocelot purse which I was happy to find also matched my velvet dress well!

Sunday:
On Sunday I continued with my fancy matchy streak and wore my Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in Irish Polka. I was so excited to get to pair this with the matching Irish Polka headband which I got from a friend as a gift! I also wore it with a pair of Easy Spirit nude flats which my mom bought for me and a neutral colored Coach clutch I picked up from the Coach Outlet about a year ago.

    1. Thank you so much Kayla! I'm so happy to have the matching head scarf. I was so sad when they sold out of them just a week before I was able to place my order. Thankfully I have some great friends out there looking out for me! <3
