Sterotypical Late Twenties Weekend

Sorry for the silence on the blog yesterday. I took the day off to recover from my stereotypical late twenties weekend. I actually hadn't thought of how stereotypical my weekend was until a friend pointed it out on Sunday.

My weekend festivities actually started on Thursday night when my best friend came to stay with me for a few nights before her wedding. She wanted to be in town, close to craft stores and stay with me so she didn't stay with her soon-to-be hubby the night before the big day.

The past few days were packed full of nail appointments, hair appointments, makeup appointments, crafting, wine drinking and more. Not to mention, we even watched Pitch Perfect while crafting on Friday night in our sweats. It was incredibly stereotypical... and I loved every minute of it. 

Saturday was the big day and I was so excited to stand next to my best friend on her big day.

To wrap up my weekend of things you do in your late twenties, I went to another friend's baby shower on Sunday evening. It was decorated so well and ended up being much more fun than most baby showers. It was very classy and had great food, oh, and an open bar. 

After the baby shower, I met up with my bestie and her new husband at the movies to see The Other Woman. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend with some of my favorite people.

As I mentioned on Friday, I flew to Reno last week for a good friend's wedding. It was so fun to see all my old sorority sisters and dance the night away while catching up on everyone's lives. It was so much fun to dress up and see all my college friends.

The wedding was followed by a day at the lake on Saturday. A few of us rented a boat and literally spent the day on the lake. The weekend was a blast and I can't wait to come back in just a few weeks!

What to Wear to a Fall Wedding

Over the next few weeks, Brad and I are attending three weddings. With so many weddings in the near future, I have started planning some of my outfits, especially for the weddings across the country. Each of the weddings is requiring cocktail dress attire so at least picking out dresses should not be too much of a struggle.

The first wedding that we are attending is for one of Brad’s coworkers where I will probably know nobody at the wedding. I am planning on wearing something simple that will be comfortable yet fun as it is on a Friday evening. I am currently loving this dress from DressFirst. I love how simple it is with solid black and will be perfect for accessorizing.

The second wedding we are attending is in my hometown in Reno, Nevada. One of my sorority sisters is getting married and I already purchased my dress. It is a very colorful strapless dress with a tulip hemline. I will be sure to post photos in a few weeks following the wedding.

The third wedding we will be heading to is going to be in Washington, DC. Because it is in the beginning of October, I want to wear something a little more geared towards fall. I am obsessed with this gold number from DressFirst. It is a great color for fall and would look stunning on the dance floor.

After scouring this website for dress inspiration for my upcoming weddings, I can’t believe what a great selection there is with such great price points. 

*Note: While this is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own and I would love to own any of the dresses listed in this post.
