Congratulations to our Amenity Shoes winner, Comment #2 Renee. Thanks for all your comments. I can tell from your interest that I may be spending a little more time on shoes in upcoming posts. I’ve had to take a 2 week hiatus from Friday Fab Finds on Facebook due to my schedule. This week I had technical difficulties. Shoe photos are coming on FB.
In the month of June we get used to the retailers referring to Grads and Dads. While I am challenged at working my typical fashion advice into this post, I felt that the topic deserved some space since this year I have a Grad at my house! My oldest son Ethan graduated from high school last week. You may recall from a previous post, last fall I was encouraged to co-chair the All-night Senior Grad Party. I stayed up until 5:30 AM, threw a party for family/friends 36 hours later AND I’ve lived to tell about it. Honestly, it never would have happened without the help of my dear husband. It was a team effort. I am also grateful to family and friends who helped me the day of the party. Needless to say I was exhausted by Sunday, but oh the fun we had!
Since we’ve been having an unusually wet spring, it wasn’t about to let up on June 10th. It rained the WHOLE DAY! Friends advised me to do pictures at home rather than try to gather at the stadium as it would be sheer chaos. Good plan. I was also grateful for my covered front porch as you can see the wet pavement in the background.
At one point we finally just had to move inside for the group photo.
Then it was off to school to oversee the bag check for the party. Love this picture of excited Seniors.
It was COLD at the stadium so what I wore for photos was not appropriate. Instead I’ve switched to my wool coat and a scarf! My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are from Texas and needed to adjust quickly from nearly 100 degrees to 50!
By the time they seniors had to line up on the track the sun was peeking through. It was a perfect evening without rain.
On Saturday we had a wonderful outdoor party and it was 80 degrees!
And now for at least ONE fashion tip. The short sleeved cardigan is Bobeau from Nordstrom. At $39 it is reasonably priced– super comfortable and flattering. They appear to have different colors in the stores. I wore it with a lime green tank. White capris are WORN from a local boutique. The shoes from Sofft almost passed the test–still undecided if they are keepers. Here is another version that may work for you. My apologies for the lack of details in the photo. No time for posed photos of the hostess!
