It was a busy weekend full of celebrations with the highlight being Saturday night. I attended my friends wedding reception at the Chicago Yacht Club. It was a great celebration; fun was defiantly had. And, I thankfully I didn’t wake up on Sunday wanting to die a quick death due to over consumption of open bar libations. I guess there is something to be said about portion control and self restraint. I will admit, I was a bit a parched side when I woke up.
I actually had another outfit planned for the recetion but I woke up Saturday without ankles. And as the day progressed they got worse and my calves started to swell. It was like I sucked on an MSG lollipop but I never ate any MSG (that I know of). It was really odd. I contemplated pants, but my tuxedo dress pants were at the dry cleaners. I opted for a dress that I could wear with boots. After trying on 10 dresses I decided to remix a dress I wore back in March. I changed my tights to hose and shoes to boots. Voila! I look like spitting image of myself in March.
I’m actually excited for Monday! The craziness over the past few weeks is coming to an end, well at least for a little while. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Bring on the week!
