Saturday morning, Gracie and I had a date with her playgroup. I love that we found this group! It’s so nice to spend time with other moms and babies that Gracie is going to grow up with

Saturday night Keith and I attended a wedding for one of his co-workers. The event was at an art center downtown Boston and was unbelievably gorgeous! It was a wonderful night out and the groom even serenaded his bride – it was a beautiful evening!

We attempted to sleep in on Sunday morning as we were a wee bit hungover, but Gracie has decided that 6am is the new time that she wants to get up every morning. *face palm* We put on Doc McStuffins and Little Einstein’s and around 7:30, she fell asleep on my chest and we all got to sleep for another hour

We were asked by the Deacon at our church to serve on the panel at this year’s pre-cana class. We loved our pre-cana class and met some wonderful couples in our church. We feel so blessed and honored to have been asked! Sunday afternoon was the first meeting with the rest of the panel and we got to bring Gracie to the meeting. We are really looking forward to participating in this!

I started taking Monday’s off so I now have a three day weekend, EVERY weekend! Up on today’s agenda is a chiropractor appointment for Grace, a Target run and then a whole lot of nothing – just some fun snuggle time with my Nugget!

I hope you had a great weekend, and Happy Monday!

Brittany and I are so excited to be sharing this series with y’all!

Once a month we will be posting style ideas for a specific event. We plan to do a mix of both special events and every day occasions, from how to mix prints to what to wear to a wedding.

Is there a particular look you want ideas styling? Leave us a comment or shoot us an email and we’d be happy to incorporate it!

This month we are talking about Black Tie weddings, because I am attending one in just a couple of weeks!

Keith and I received an invitation to a “black-tie optional” wedding in Boston at the end of February. This immediately presents a couple of challenges. First, Boston & February = COLD. Second, I don’t own anything black tie. See my conundrum?

My requirements are something affordable, but not boring. And it’s got to be warm!

I have this thing about wearing the same formal dress to multiple events. As in, I don’t like to do it. Is that something just I do??

I decided the best way around this issue, and since I will probably not need a black tie dress again, is to rent one. Have you heard of Rent the Runway?

You essentially rent a designer gown from them for either 4 or 8 days. They will also send you a second size for free, in case one size doesn’t fit. And, for an additional $25, you can choose a second style!

Here are my top three favorite dresses from Rent the Runway.

And because it’s freezing here, I will top my gown with this:

Which look do you prefer? Have you ever rented a gown? Do you re-wear dresses? What do you think about “What to Wear Wednesday?” SO many questions!!

*Note: this is not a sponsored post – but if RTR wants to send me one of these dresses, I will happily accept! :)*
