Barbecue Birthday

Today is my best friend's 24th birthday! She is the one who suggested I start blogging. She herself runs an awesome blog about the DIY projects she does and then sells at an antique / artisan mall. Check it out here!

For her birthday party, I found some darling yellow gingham shorts at Goodwill in the 50% off section! I love Goodwill more than any other consignment store for a multitude of reasons, which I may post on another blog. I felt like the gingham gave the right picnic vibe.

I colorblocked with a mint green shirt also from Goodwill. I have been obsessed with mint green lately. If you go on Pinterest, you will discover the rest of the world is as well. I paired the shirt with my mint green loafers and the navy scarf from the last post, both from Target. I put a yellow bow on my head, which was purchased at Dollar Tree. I love getting hair accessories there.

Much better than the last picture, right?

The party was lots of fun.

Soon, I hope to post how to turn a frumpy lady dress from consignment into a contemporary dress you'd see at any chic boutique.
