My best friend got married on Saturday and I was a bridesmaid, so I had a very busy weekend. On Friday, all the bridesmaids met up for wine and mani/pedis in the afternoon and then the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner were later that night. Saturday was the wedding, so it was full of preparation and celebration with lots of love, good food, and plenty of wine! The wedding was absolutely beautiful, despite the rain we got, and my friends are now relaxing on a white, sandy beach in Mexico as huband and wife. And I couldn’t be happier for them!
On Sunday, we went for brunch with another friend. She’s moving across the country for school at the end of the month so we wanted to spend a little time with her before she leaves. We had a wonderful meal at Watt’s Grocery, a delicious little Durham favorite that prides itself on offering classic favorites and Carolina tradition with local and seasonal goods.

I absolutely love the mural on the side of the building; it’s so beautiful!
The drizzly weather that morning meant my adorable trench was calling my name! I got this skirt in my latest Stitch Fix box, and it was the only item I kept because nothing else fit. I’m loving the pattern and the colors in it because it’s different from anything I probably would’ve picked out for myself. I’ve also been trying to figure out how to wear these shooties/booties in the summer because they’re slightly outside of my comfort zone. What do you all think; do these shoes go with this sweater/skirt combo?

The print on that skirt is so cute! This post makes me want to do more pictures out in my community 🙂
Thank you, Heather. I’m slowly overcoming the awkwardness I feel every time I try to take photos in public. People like to give funny looks but the photos almost always turn out so pretty!
Love this outfit and you look great! The print on the skirt is so cute and love the shoes! Looks awesome with the trench too.

Oh, it was the best mani/pedi I’ve had in a love time; so relaxing! It isn’t something I do very often and I’m glad I had a special occassion as an excuse 😉
Coming over from the link-up! I went to Watts Grocery when I was in Durham for wedding. It was delicious! I really like this color combo and your skirt is so pretty!
