Colorful Tweed

This skirt.

Thiiiis skirt.

I.Love.This.Skirt.

Thats why the hardest thing I had to do was return it. 

Yup, returned again. I keep striking out!!

I think this is a fantastic look for the office. Or a job interview (keeping this one in my back pocket, just in case). Its just not practical for me. I'll wear it once, maybe twice before summer and thats it. 

AND

The shirt- despite its size (xxl) - clearly did not fit and had this funky ruched tail in the back. I had to wear a tank underneath for the pictures, there was just no getting it together. The colors and print matched so well with the skirt, I had to at least try. I also paired it with a chambray and loved it. Plus, it gave me the chance to wear these shoes I had forgotten put aside in my closet for a (long) while. 

I've seen a couple other bloggers with similar outfits and knew I had to try.

Stylishly In Love

Soooo cute right?

Well, as much as it hurt me, I had to return the outfit. 

Trust me, I debated the whole ride to the store. Ask my sister. She was tired of listening. 

So I returned it for a more practical "Meg-friendly" outfit...or two. =)

What do you think? Should I have kept the skirt and looked for a new shirt? 

As you can see, I'm still torn up inside. 

Until next time you pretty little tweed love you.

Date night

For Valentines Day this year my fiance and I took a day off of life in the middle of the week and went to Foxwoods. He likes to play tables and I like to play dress up. =)

We went to David Burke for a yummy filet mignon....the one time a year I get such an expensive cut of meat is when we come here for an anniversary or holiday. 

After playing some roulette and mingling with all the other couples that were there for the romantic night we went bowling at the High Roller Lanes which was so fun! Very different from the "typical" local lanes. There was a DJ and videos playing and the couches were a far cry from the plastic seating I'm used to! Unfortunately I left my camera in the room and only got one snap in. If you ever visit Foxwoods make sure to carve out some time for bowling. So FUN!

Top: Old Navy 

(check the stores clearance section for deeper discounts! I think this one was $10 or less for me)

Shorts: Elle

Shoes: Payless (old) similar, similar

Bracelets: Alex and Ani

Necklace: Tiffany's

I love dressing up when we go to the casinos, even if I'm not going to the clubs and bars. The top is loose and casual and the shorts have the cute leather detail that acts as a belt. The shoes have a short heel which was perfect for all the walking we did.  

I just had to share a pic of my hair- new cut and color- and I loved how it came out!

What did you wear for Valentines Day? Or your anniversary or holiday? What did you do?
