    Army Dine Out

    Was fortunate to be able to attend the Army Dine Out again this year with my handsome boyfriend Kyle. Got in two amazing dresses from Rent the Runway. I used them last year and had such great luck I knew I had to use them again. Last year I ordered in an amazing dress but I had wishful thinking that I would fit into a smaller size then I planned. Well, I did not fit into the two dresses I ordered and thankfully they overnighted me a dress that was one size larger so I had the most perfect dress last year so I knew where I was getting my dresses for this year from.

    I had a dress in mind from last year that was on my list and so I was planning on ordering that one regardless and then I picked out a second that I knew I would love and wouldn’t be able to pass up. The first dress is a gorgeous green shade that I have had my eye on. It was just such a beautiful shade and I liked how simple the dress was. Just green with pleated body and a high neck line.

     Fluorite Emerald Gala Gown by Badgley Mischka

    This dress looked amazing on and I will definitly use it for weddings in the future but I was won over by my second choice.

    The second dress and the dress that I ended up going with was a gorgeous black lace and tulle dress with pockets!!! I am such a sucker for tulle its crazy. So when I was looking for a second choice I just went ahead and put tulle into the choices for dresses and up it came. Loved the neckline and how it gathered and I love the pockets. I could put my lipstick and my phone in them! And you couldn’t tell they were there. Also the lace underneath was just perfect for me, I love lace and loved this dress as soon as I put it on.

    I put on some nude pumps from Lifestride for the drive and once there put on some sky high Nina’s that are no longer in stock.

    Most Wanted of the Week 8.10.18

    Most wanted items of the week are fall items! I think that I am as excited as all of you by the way you are clicking for fall. Maybe its just something about all the cozy fabrics or the no longer having my legs sticking to the car seat that I’m looking forward to.

    This week we went to Adventureland, a cute little water park/ amusement park here in Des Moines. The kids had so much fun riding the rides and going to the water park it was hard to leave and we ended up staying till they close. The only thing that they were lacking were vegetables for food, would love to have had a snack of something other than fried food or breaded something.

    I have Kyle’s Army Dine Out this weekend and I’m so looking forward to it. I love getting to put a gown on and spending the night all glammed up. So little affairs where you get to get all pretty for the night so I am so excited. I have two dresses arriving from Rent the Runway Thursday night and I can’t wait to share them with you.

    I went to Chicago on Saturday and looked at a few dresses there and I found one that I picked up and fell in love with another one but couldn’t justify the price tag, even if I could alter it to fit correctly, but it was gorgeous.

    On with this weeks most popular pieces!

    This sweater is a dupe for the sweater that was in the Nordstroms sale but for a huge discount and so cute! Great price and these jeans are also on sale, go up on size in the jeans.
