Dress #25

On Sunday (7/27), Joe and I had breakfast with his brother's family at Hungry Fox.  His brother and sister-in-law want to catch up more often so we're trying to meet them for breakfast/brunch or see them once every month or so.  We hadn't seen them since the wedding and they wanted to hear about our trip to Europe.  Joe suggested Hungry Fox (our favorite breakfast place).  They hadn't been there before so we were happy to introduce them to the restaurant.  I was treating it like an Sunday after church brunch so I wanted to wear my floral skirt.  It's very Easter-esque.  After breakfast we went to Aaron Brothers to buy some frames so we could hang up our wedding pictures.  They were having a buy one get one for a penny sale which was perfect because their frames are usually pretty pricey.  We received gift cards to both Aaron Brothers and Bed Bath and Beyond for our wedding so we also went next door to BB&B and got a waffle iron I was wanting.  There's still some money left on the BB&B gift card so the next time I get a 20% off coupon in the mail I'm going to get a set of glass tupperware.

I used to wear this outfit to work pretty often and I took it to my first trip to Hawaii back in 2007.  In Hawaii, I wore it to Germaine's Luau.  It was the first luau I ever went to and the first time I ever tried Poi.  I only like Poi when it's used in breads.  When it's plain as a pudding-like substance, it isn't very good.  The luau was a great experience.  There were several different kinds of dances and of course it ended with a fire dance.  I don't really think the skirt is very Hawaiian, but I like wearing it on a summer day.

I got it at Ross for $10 back in 2007.  I always wear it with my white cami with gold/tan/silver beading.  The skirt is made by Requirements.  100% polyester.  Size 10.  Made in China.  It has a white inner lining so it's not see through.  The outer shell has a floral design in layers so it looks more flowing.  I really like it but it often has a lot of static cling.  I absolutely love the top.  It's actually my favorite shirt.  I got it many years ago (probably in 2006) from walmart.com.  It cost $6, not including shipping and I love it.  I have to hand wash it because of the beading and it's starting to look a little worn being so old, but I wear it often.  It pretty much goes with anything.  It's made by Metro 7.  95% rayon, 5% spandex.  Size M.  Made in Guatemala.
