Patriotic, or a picnic table

Last week I spent Memorial Day with fellow bloggers Meg and Christine. We started the year off with a resolution to meetup once a month and we haven't missed one yet. Hard to believe that it is June already and the year is half over! Feels like just yesterday we were freezing our butts off in the dead of winter.

But now it is delightfully warm, and our fun, often goofy photoshoots have resumed.

Not being too adventurous, we had lunch at Meg's favorite seafood restaurant, the Chowder Pot, took outfit photos, and had DIY frozen yogurt.
  • I wanted to, but failed to gain the courage to flirt with our waiter.
  • Devoured most of Meg's french fries because I never order them, but then always want them.
  • Cajoled Christine into letting me photograph her.
  • Watched Meg practically do a back bend to take our footwear instagram.
  • Managed to spend over $6 on my froyo (I think those strawberries weigh more than they appear to).
  • Was told I looked Patriotic.
  • Was told I looked like a picnic table.
So, pretty good for a Monday!

  2. For the record, I do not think you look at all like a picnic table. I think you look perfect...you all do!

  4. LOL at the picnic table comment. I don't understand why if people think they they feel the need to comment! I think it looks gorgeous and doesn't AT ALL look like a tablecloth!

  5. You all look fabulous and how wonderful that you do a monthly meetup. I once was told that same thing when I wore a red checked blouse... You look fabuolous and nothing like a picnic table.

  17. But one very cute picnic table then! Love the outfit, and yes you do look a bit patriotic with the colors, haha, but that's what national holidays are for, right? Love that you guys meet up so much :) I wish blogging had led me to meet more people and build up actual friendships as well :) Truth is we never seem to meet when it's not for an event and I'm a bit sad about that... :) x

  22. If you were a picnic table, it would be a beautifully adorned and well dressed one :)

    And again, I LOVE that skirt. Yes, you do manage to always get me into taking photos..but I can never say no haha. Five months of meet ups and counting! YAY!

  26. "was told I looked like a picnic table"--haha whatever! You're the cutest picnic table out there if that's the case. If I were an ant, I would ransack YOUR picnic.

    That sounded vaguely sexual. ANYWAY.

    haha, that's really lovely that you guys haven't missed a month yet. You are looking so so cute in this outfit! I adore the pleats in that skirt and I will never tire of your cute cherry heels.

  37. Aww this sounds like the perfect meetup! You ladies looked lovely and I'm completely obsessed with your shoes!

    And is it sad that $6 froyo sounds totally normal to me? Stupid LA...

  38. Patriotic... or a picnic table. I love it :) In all seriousness, this gingham shirt is one of my favourite pieces in your wardrobe; it's such a perfect classic and it works beautifully with everything. Of course, it probably won't surprise you to know that I have a particular soft spot for this look since it also involves a tulle skirt. In fact, I'm contemplating recreating it as I type this :)
