Weekend Outfits

I thought I would post my outfits from over the weekend. Only because they were cute, and were not my typical jeans and a comfy sweater look.

Outfit #1: Saturday Night
Saturday we went out to dinner at Purple Café and Wine Bar. I made reservations for six people approximately two weeks ago- this place is hopping! Reservations are a must, without them you will wait an hour, at least- and that can be with just two people!

This special dinner warranted a super cute outfit. So I pulled out my Reed Shirtdress and fancied it up with some tights and heels. Cute, yes?

Anyways, back to Purple. The food was only ok. But the wine was awesome! If you go, you must do a flight. From $14-$25 (depending on the flight) you get pretty hefty tastings of 4 different wines (adds up to a little more than 2 glasses). I asked the waiter to recommend a flight that featured medium to full bodied, fruit forward wines, with little to no tannins. This is what I got:

off the beaten path . 15

whether it’s an unfamiliar grape or a familiar grape in an unexpected locale…

 mildiani family winery saperavi . kakheti, georgia . 05

skouras aghiorghitiko . nemea, greece . 07

gobelsburger zweigelt . kamptal, austria . 06

durigutti bonarda . mendoza, argentina . 07

And it was all good! Overall, a very lovely evening with good friends, and good wine!

 Dress: Anthropologie Reed Shirt Dress (here)

Tights: Hue Gray Tights

Belt: Stretch Hook Belt in black from Charlotte Russe ($6.50!!!)

Shoes: Steve Madden Black Mary Janes (Christmas circa 2007)

Outfit #2: Sunday
Sunday there was an appointment at a bridal shop to try on bridesmaids dresses for Stacey’s wedding. Stacey is still (as of today) undecided as to exactly what kind of dress she is leaning towards. The contenders are: (1) Anthro’s Wind Catcher Dress (here); (2) A dress from J crew’s Cotton Cady collection (here); and (3) an actual bridesmaid’s dress which I don’t remember the name of. I will know (hopefully) by the end of the month. Whatever it will be, I know it will look awesome.

Anyways, back to my outfit. I bought this dress on super sale from online back in November. It clearly was meant to be a summer dress, but I could not wait any longer to wear it out. This was my attempt at winterizing it. I think it worked out pretty well. I love it because it is short enough that I can wear flats and not look extra short.

Dress: Anthropologie Sakassou Dress by Zachary's Smile (2009)

Sweater: Gap Dark Purple Cardi

Tights: Hue Gray Tights

Shoes: Me Too Black Flats (similar here)

Belt: Anthropologie Synapse Belt (gift from sister)

Alright, that is all for now. I will post today's OOTD tonight when I get home from work.

Ciao!
