I took my dad to a newer restaurant he had never been to called Whiskey Cake, and since it was "Happy Hour" I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to have a Moscow Mule :) They're my favorite old "cocktail." If you're not familiar, it was a very popular drink in the 1950s that is known for coming in a chilled copper mug. Vodka, ginger beer and lime are the ingredients; then garnished with a lime and yesterday they added a ginger garnish. We can never seem to make these taste good at home so him and I have just given up trying and go out to have them now haha! I personally love this place, if you have one in your area you have to check it out. On the way in you pass their vegetable garden where they actually grow all the items you eat indoors. Inside you could call the interior a "blast from the past" with vintage sofas, lightbulb vases on each table, and McCall's magazines and books everywhere that remind me Grandma's house when I was little.
I received many compliments on the dress during dinner and afterwards around the mall. These dresses are not only flattering to your curves but I like that you can spin it inside out at anytime to appear to be wearing something completely different in an instant. The other side of this dress has whats called the "Mathamatacool" print which just stresses me out all together ha. I hate math. Its bright blue with equations and math problems everywhere. I probably wont be wearing that side ever because Im not one to wear a lot of color and I'm not exactly "Good Will Hunting" over here haha! The black periodic table side is enough for me because it reminds me of school and of course....Breaking Bad.
To get this look or (OOTD): My hair is done professionally; this particular color is a permanent dye by Pravana called "Magenta." I have written another blog regarding how to slowly get your hair all one bright color called "How Do You Get Your Hair Like That"; if you have any of questions on that :)
The dress is again by Black Milk Clothing and called the Periodic Tables IOD (IOD=inside out dress). For shoes it was safe to go with something colorful since the dress is black, so these are the "Daydream" by YRU. Sunglasses are the "Shadys" by UNIF. The blue rosary was my mother's and the silver cross necklace is by James Avery Jewelers. If there is not one in your area, they do have a website. I have worn the cross necklace, which was given to me by my father, to represent how many years I have been sober (11 years now). On my right wrist I wear an orange National Multiple Sclerosis Society bracelet everyday for two years now to show my support for the disease and because I work closely with the society to raise money for a cure.
