WIWW & Happy Birthday, Momma-Lou!

For this week’s edition of What I Wore Wednesday I’m going to attempt to show off the outfits worn during SB12. I say “attempt” because all these photos were taken by drunk people in dark bars on my phone, so they’re not of the best quality. But at least it’s easy to see we had a great time. 

Thursday was spent in Gainesville at Beef O’Brady’s Penny Wine night. Yea, I’m talkin’ 5 glasses of ridiculously low quality wine for a nickel. Doesn’t get much better than that. You can’t see much of my outfit, but..

Friday night Liz and I drove to Orlando to be reunited with our Cardinals and crashed a philanthropic social event. One of my best guy friends from high school, Brent (top right), told us to come drink for the kids, so we joined him and his fraternity brothers for some libations. Not only did we feel good about where the money was going, but we also got to watch Brent compete (and do really well in) a dance off. Fact: His opponent (a male) did a full-out split at one point. VERY entertaining.

Then Saturday, St. Patty’s Day, was spent laughing, dancing, singing, drinking and becoming best friends with Anna (top left). She is amazing and I will most definitely be sharing her blog with you as soon as she starts it. Also, they photos were taken by her. I just stole them from Facebook. 

Speaking of Anna, she made me this CD on the top left and I can’t even describe how awesome it is (I mean, even the title is great). So I have many new favorite songs to share with you all thanks to her. Top right is a drawing on a door at Graffiti Junktion (that’s where Aubrey works, so if you’re ever in Orlando be sure to check it out!). Bottom left, Jessica and I ran 4 miles together — slowly but surely. Bottom right, I found this gorgeous beaded dress at a super awesome thrift store in Orlando called Maggie’s (unfortunately it was too expensive for me to get it though). It’s named after the owners’ dog and they popped popcorn in an old fashioned machine, offered us some and Emma even scored a beautiful beaded dress that I’ll show you photos of as soon as she does an epic photo shoot in it (it’s gonna happen!!).

Overall it was a really fun trip and I’m so glad I got to spend time with my best friends.

Today is my wonderful mom’s birthday.

 I love you so much, mom. 

Thank you for always being so supportive, loving and understanding. 

And for always reading my blog (remember when you were the only one?!)

You’re the best and I’m so lucky to have you.

Happy Birthday!
