Luau Birthday

Pin It Sorry for the recent hiatus. When I started this blog it was my goal to post at least 3x a week. With school coming to an end (6 more days!) that has not happened. But with Summer just around the corner, I'm back! :) and now for today's post which will require some participation.

 Mr. Manfriend and I have birthdays that are a day apart, which means that that we have a dual Birthday Bash, obviously. This Saturday is our third Birthday Luau and the quest for a Luau dress has begun. Typically I have a hard time finding tropical wear that matches my aesthetic, but this year I found three dresses online, partially because of Target's new Specialty shops, so I of course ordered all three. Please vote and let me know which one is your fave.
      Dress 1                                                    Dress 2                                                   Dress 3

On dreary days like today. I like to dress super colorful. The hope is that it will make me feel cherry even when my surroundings are not. Bring on the color!

On Saturday Mr. Manfriend & I went to Prom... as chaperones. I would feel like this was a bit odd, if it wasn't our fourth time.

So what to wear to Prom? I had a fellow teacher once tell me that if you can not see up it, down it, or through it, you were good... Words to live by really.

Previously I have worn a classy, black dress, but this year I decided to switch it up. and by switch it up, I mean navy, risk taker right here. :)

Psssst... Hair tutorial here.
