over the long weekend, my cousin got married. it was an awesome day/night, filled with loads of love and dancing. it was even better because jack had his first sleepover at babcia and dziadek's house [polish for grandma + grandpa!] and this momma got to have a few drinks and relax! all went well at the sleepover, besides a rather sleepless night for babcia zosia, but i suspect she didn't mind one little bit. i on the other hand, had a really hard time saying 'buh-bye' those first few minutes at the hand-over, but felt i dealt with the separation after a few hours rather well. helps that i know the woman loves my little man almost as much as i do. so thank you, zosia.
also helped to think of the amazing trip the hubby and i are about to take, just the two of us, in a couple months so i'd better get used to the idea of leaving the little man overnight with someone i trust.
guess i could have called this post, 'parenting success with the first sleepover'.
for attire, i went with my newest acquisition from anthroplogie. a burgundy lace peplum dress. i seriously have nothing but rave reviews from this beaut - i mean, i got to eat dinner and not have to suck it in for the rest of the night! that is an absolute win in my books! that little lace puplum detail around the mid-section hid all the bits i wanted hidden, and the short length allowed me to show off all those squats i do while holding jack non-stop throughout the day. i also found the lace material just dreamy, and the shade of burgundy gave me a little rosy-glow. and how about those melanie auld earrings! just perfection, no? [and they are on sale! whoop!]

Erinn, you look gorgeous in that beautiful dress - your momma wants to buy one just like it!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Momma. I can always count on you for the compliments ;)
DeleteAnd you should go buy it! It would look beautiful on you too!

Very pretty dress Erinn ...isn't nice to get dress up and have an adult night out every so often!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marisa :)
DeleteYou have no idea how much I appreciate a good night out now, sans the little man. It's such a treat and I feel so lovely when I can throw on some heels now.

I LOVE this dress on you, Erinn. I tried it on in the teal and it looks so much better on you. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks christine! I bet the teal look spectacular on you!
DeleteI was so tempted to get that colour too, but figured I have enough dresses, as you've now seen, so getting two of the same dresses in different colours may be overkill. haha! shopping addict ;)
