In Ypsilanti

DSC_5062
I'm certain I've professed my love for my two gorgeous Chicago friends, Merl and Karyn before on the internet, but I can't say it enough: I love these gals and their visit to Michigan last weekend made my month! Being the introvert in the group, I'm constantly entertained by their shenanigans and it was a whirlwind of fun and cackling.
Over the course of the weekend, we made our way to Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Detroit for a lot of shopping. Friday, we headed to Ypsilanti to meet up with Lauren of Dear Golden who was a wonderful hostess and showed us around town and we spent some time browsing her shop, where I wore this outfit. We grabbed dinner in Ann Arbor and spent the evening drinking fancy cocktails, microbrews and listening to records back at Lauren's in our pajamas. And everyone I was there with of course wore fancy pajamas consisting of silk kimonos while I had my flannel pajama pants! All in all, a great time on the east side of the state and catching up with Karyn and Merl and great meeting Lauren and her husband, Chad!

I love that you put the polka dot bustier under the shirt, I would never have thought to do that, it would have been a plain one, but you look fab.

Andrea, your time sounds so perfect!! I can't even imagine you being the introvert of the group... and aw, you wore flannel pajama pants. I'm a flannels girl too, my love of fashion does not extend to my sleeping attire, apparently! ;)

Anywho, before I ramble on. Love you in these soft & pretty colours and the pop of leopard is gorgeous. Hope your week is a fabulous one. xo

You look awesome, woman. As hot and awesome as you look in leopard and leather, I also love you in soft colors and silhouettes like these. Pink is a great color for you.

PS: Chicago misses you. :)
