Happy Friday, y'all!!! Anyone have any big plans? I'm working the better part of the weekend, but on Sunday I am attending the Gadsden Service Guild's New Member Tea. I am excited to be getting involved with such a great organization!

I went into the local boutique The Willow Tree to browse around. They are always getting new merchandise, and I've never left empty handed. How cute is this oversized top? I was hesitant at first, as I thought the way it was made wasn't going to be very flattering, but it was too cute not to at least try on. Man am I glad I did!

Then, I saw that they now carry Joe's jeans, which have always been my favorite, and DL1961, which I had never tried on but have heard great things about. They were sold out of the Joe's in my size, so I tried on these, and I am IN LOVE!!!! They are the softest, most comfortable jeans EVER! I've had them on repeat since bringing them home. If you are in the market for a new favorite denim, give these a try! You won't regret it!

Good morning, y'all! Hope everyone had a great weekend! It was my birthday weekend, and I must say, turning 31 wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated! My sweet man friend surprised me with a new 55'' television for my living room (he even mounted it for me!) and took me to dinner at The Courtyard Cafe where we had the best steaks EVER!

On to the outfit....

The PIKO top. I could go on and on about these. They are the softest tops in the world! I love how you can toss one on and run out the door. They are so easy! And with so many bright colors, how could you not buy them all?!?! I am loving this pink one though, reminds me of bubble gum!

I went to The Willow Tree to buy a new pair of Joe's white skinnies, and much to my dismay, they were sold out of my size (I wear a 25, and they are hard to come by sometimes), so I scooped up a couple of cute tops (including this PIKO), some DL1961 skinnies (more on those later, I am IN LOVE with them!), and went on my way...

...to Old Navy...

Where I found the white skinnies I am wearing above (perfect fit!), and this super affordable reversible tote. I can fit everything in there! Laptop, IPad, wallet, hell AC can fit in it! And for less than $40.00, it was a no brainer! Not to mention, it made the man friend VERY happy that I came home with a $40.00 bag as opposed to the $400.00 that I usually spend on them. I earned mad bonus points, y'all!!! Ha

The wedges. I loved them so much that I bought them in black, too. The Belk Shoe Party gets me every time. I also bought these. And these.
Shoe Whore? Yes.

Under the Big Top: Girlfriend Gala 2015

photography by Jaimie Sweeten

The Girlfriend Gala is an annual Gadsden charity event sponsored by United Way to benefit the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. 

The Dolly Parton Imagination Library was created to help insure that children would have access to good reading material, regardless of circumstance, and to instill a love of reading in young children. You can sign your child up here (my daughter participated in this program and she lit up with excitement every month when her book arrived! ).

Each year, the Girlfriend Gala has a different theme. You choose your table decor based on such theme. This years theme was “Welcome to the Big Top”. We chose Brittany Spear’s Circus album. We all dressed up as different characters she has played, and had a tv at our table playing her most popular songs/videos. I was (reluctantly) the “school girl” from her first hit, “Baby One More Time”, but I must admit it was fun playing dress up!!!!

They announce the following years theme at the event, and they've chosen “Meet Me In Paris” for 2016. While I can’t say what we are doing yet, I can say that you don’t want to miss out! 

If you’re a local follower, I’d love for you to “Meet Me In Paris”!
