Anyway, this past weekend Bridget and I drove up to Minnesota (about a half an hour from the twin cities) to hang out with my good friend from college and host her baby shower, which also turned into a surprise gender reveal. They had told their family and friends that they would not be finding out the gender of the baby, but they reconsidered at their 3D/4D ultrasound, and then I (along with their cute little doggy) got to help reveal the big news at the beginning of the baby shower. Here's the big moment:
The blonde lady sitting on the couch is the proud grandma-to-be. She was really happy and tearing up. You also get a quick glimpse of Bridget at the beginning, and I'm the one at the very beginning saying, "So Indy, come on out!" Funnily enough, my friend and I sound exactly the same on this video, and I don't think we do in real life except for our loud laughs. So that was fun. It turned out to be a nice little shower with yummy food and really delicious punch. Plus, I successfully frosted cupcakes using a pastry bag. That was a little victory in itself.
Here's what I wore on the drive home from Minnesota and for one of my two looks for Inspiration Monday:
 |
| Dress: Wet Seal; Jacket: Walgreens; Striped Top: Old Navy; Boots: Target; Watch: La Mer |
I'm holding a bloody mary...the drive home was a little rough. Bridget was perfectly well behaved, but it was raining most of the way, and I hit traffic and ended up taking back roads home. Little did I know, my husband forgot to put vodka in my drink.

Since I had two ideas for this week's Pippa Middleton look, I wanted to include both of them. Here's what I wore today:
 |
| Dress and Blazer: Target; Jacket: Walgreens; Booties: ModCloth |
LOLLLL that Nate didn't put any booze in it!!!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate, only with food not fashion :) I've had multiple employees follow me around stores when they see my camera out. Or when I was at INdustri Cafe recently and our waiter turned out to be the same guy smoking outside when I was taking photos. His first question wasn't "what would you like to drink?" it was "why were taking photos outside?"
ReplyDeleteHi, I love coming across bloggers from my own state! I'm a new follower and I hate these awkward introductions so I'm just gonna skip it!
ReplyDeleteJust today, I was taking pictures in a parking lot against a brick wall when the woman assigned to the parking space I had my tripod set up in, pulled up. She got out of her car and said, "Why are you taking pictures of the wall?" And I had to give the whole fashion blog spiel. So embarrassing.
On another note, your outfits are amazing. I love the orange dress.
Another WI blogger, woohoo! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has these embarrassing blogger moments. Thanks for sharing your stories, ladies! It definitely made me feel a little better about the situation.
DeleteI love how you styled the inspiration look...adding the stripes blazer is a great touch. I take my photos about a block from a college campus and I always get asked what the heck I am doing...I have gotten used to the stares now.
ReplyDeleteoooh, i don't know which i like better! i love you in red and i love that striped blazer (i own it, as well), but i love that blue maxi skirt!! next time you head to the twon cities, let us know and we'll share a bloody mary together!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies, will do! I don't know why, but your comments always come through as spam. Weird.
Deleteooh, I like the different jackets with the orange dress!
