I've got places to go and one person to see!
This is day eleven of a series I’m doing that features a month of outfits. Read my intro here, find out about the Challenge here, and Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 , Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, and Day 10.
Good day everyone!
I feel a tiny bit bad for not getting the OOTD post up last night, but not too bad because instead of blogging, the hubby and I got to go out on a date. Yes! I’d like to say that date night is a common occurrence around here, but since Calliope was born, we’ve only been able to go out a handful of times. Now that I think about it, we never really went out on dates before Calliope either because we thought we were so poor. Oops! We definitely missed out on an opportunity there huh?! Now mostly it’s a rare occasion because finding good quality (and free) baby sitting is tough when the grandparents don’t live in the same city as you. Luckily, even in a grandparent-less town, we’ve been able to rely on the kindness of good friends. For those of you that have watched Calliope for us, thanks, you’re the best. Seriously. You are.
Anyway, on to the OOTD:
Cowgirl chic! Outfit Details: Top- Old Navy, Vest- Guess, Skirt- Thakoon for Target, Sandals- AE, Belt and earrings- Vintage.
On Calliope: Dress- Target, Diaper- Flip, Necklace- Tweet Baby Designs
Calliope checking out her new used car!
Bag- Lisa Stickley of London
The earrings are made from vintage Mahjong scoring chips, which is one of my favorite social games, sweet!
This is what I looked like during the day before our date. Lucky’s Day 11 involved a statement necklace, but I thought with the side ponytail and vintage rainbow belt, earrings would be a better jewelry choice. I’ve never worn a side pony (at least not since the 80s) and it was a fun change. Again, normally I wouldn’t have paired these sandals with such a long and full skirt, but I think they are cute. Andrew said the whole outfit looked very cowgirl to him (though he liked it), and actually I would agree with him. The vest, full skirt, and pony are kinda cowgirl, but what’s wrong with that?!
As fate would have it, we went to go see Cowboys Vs. Aliens, so the whole cowgirl-esque look could not have been more appropriate. I did want to make the look a smidgen more sexy so I swapped out the bag and shoes like so:
Switched out a few accessories and I'm now ready for my date- Yeehaw!
Bag- Lucky, Heels- Oh Deer!
I felt pretty, and we had a great time, though it is hard not to at a movie theatre that has Lazy Boy type seats, a bar with some decent wine selections, and excellent fries! The movie was fun too, though I’ll see Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig in almost anything.
When we got back to our friend’s house to pick up Opie, this is what we found:
Can't take the cute.
Clearly fun was had by all!
Day 11 on a scale of 1-10: Ease of Wear-8. Personal Excitement: 8. Cowboys V. Aliens- 6.5. Having a night out- 11.
So what do y’all think? Do you like the vest and skirt combo? What is your opinion about grown women in side ponies? Which shoes did you prefer?
