The weekend began similarly to last Friday; Emily brought over Greek salads, and we sipped on glasses of Pinot Grigio while having girl talk.
Being that it’s officially March (and more importantly, closer to the days of pastel sundresses and warmer temperatures), I wanted to wear a lighter hue on Friday night. My sister Natalie was hosting a themed party–everyone was dressing as a television character–but I went as myself knowing that I had plans to meet friends at the bars.
{blazer, cinched blouse (old), pixie pants, black booties, statement necklace, gold watch}
The last time that I went out in public in a costume, wearing an ugly Christmas sweater, a girl stopped me to compliment my outfit then asked if I bought the dress at Urban Outfitters. Laughingly, I called it vintage since it came from my mom’s closet circa 1995, but in actuality, I was mortified that someone thought I would seriously wear a dress embroidered with teddy bears.
Though I left the hard hats and “dirt”-covered arms to my siblings, I have to admit that Natalie and Raquel looked amazing as characters from Pretty Little Liars.
After guessing costumes (a personal favorite was Will Smith as the Fresh Prince) and talking to Gina and Nicky for a bit, my friend Melissa picked me up.
We started the night by clinking glasses at the Kent, a low-key bar in Towson. It was a salt + tequila + lime kind of night for me, though I limited my drinks since I was driving home.
With a few more friends in tow, we walked to CVP down the street. Melissa and I ended at The Greene Turtle, leaving a little before the bar closed.
Not much beats sleeping in on a Saturday morning, especially when you can enjoy mimosas and chocolate chip pancakes in bed.
I made Ali and myself a pillowy stack, eaten alongside a cup of fresh blueberries.
What’s your favorite breakfast food (eaten in bed, of course!)?
Weekend breakfasts are the best! This morning I had banana pancakes (paleo!). But no more breakfasts in bed for me…Saturday I spilled an entire cup of coffee in the bed. It was a mess. Sounds like you had a great weekend. :)
Yikes! I’ve had a similar situation–I dropped a cream-cheese covered bagel face-down on my bed.
I am OBSESSED with PLL. Obsessed. Those pancakes look lovely – I’m CRAVING pancakes for breakfast after my run this morning. I actually just bought some pastels – pants, chinos, tops for spring – I’m so sick of boots and tights and sweaters and dark colors. It was 70 out in SF yesterday… spring is coming!
I need to catch up on this past season of PLL–I somehow got really far behind! I’m so sick of sweaters and boots, too. Bring on the pastels!
Love your outfit! I’m heading to a black light dance party Friday and I feel that would be a perfect outfit for the night. Fancy with a hint of casual!! My favorite food to eat in bed, bagel& cream cheese with strawberries! There is something that screams delicacy to me about strawberries in bed!
Thank you! Hope you found something amazing to wear for your party! And I totally agree–strawberries in bed are indulgent.
Chocolate chip pancakes with blueberries? And a dust of powdered sugar? In bed!!! That beats my Saturday morning breakfast by a long shot – so nice of you to make a batch for you and Ali.
PLL is such a great costume idea! It’s a great way to rock stylish clothes. I’d want to be preppy Spencer (not crazy Spencer as of late) or Hannah – love both of their styles.
Everyone was so confused when they saw pictures of the girls because they didn’t realize it was a costume but noticed the “dirt” on their arms. Had to explain it was face makeup! I’d want to be Hannah or Aria!
I can honestly say I have never had breakfast in bed!! Crazy, I know!
You need to change that asap!
Glad to know I’m not the only 20-something-year-old who is obsessed with Pretty Little Liars! Also, Tequila + Salt + Lime is my go-to drink {after gin + tonic + lime as of late}
Nope, you’re definitely not! Whenever my friends and I do shots, they go with Fireball but tequila is always my favorite.
