Every spring and fall, my neighborhood social committee sponsors a fashion show. It's always a fun event usually accompanied by brunch or lunch. This year's theme was Audrey Hepburn movies. Some of the ladies really got into the spirit of the event and wore sleeveless black cocktail dresses with pearl necklaces (an Audrey Hepburn signature look). I wore black and white, but I don't think I even own a dress anymore, let alone a cocktail one.
All the outfits this year came from Chico's. The organizers were looking for models before the event (they always use ladies from the neighborhood), but Chico's just isn't a place I like to shop. It turned out to be a good decision on my part, because almost every outfit on display had some form of sequins, rhinestones, or ostrich feathers (even the jeans!). My friend was lucky to find a pair of un-bedazzled suede pants, but the jacket flung over her shoulder had rhinestones all over the front. I guess that's to highlight the leopard print top. I told them if they ever get LL Bean or REI to be a sponsor, then I will be a model. On the other hand, maybe I can add a little bling to our bike club by putting sequins on my bike shorts. It would probably be more noticeable than the red reflector on the back of my bike.
I went on a couple short bike rides to take advantage of the warm weather we're having, but I skipped the club ride this week so Bruce, Charlie, and I could go hiking. It was a gorgeous day (notice Bruce is down to short sleeves).
It was so clear, that you could really see the mountains in the distance. I tried taking a picture in front of Pike's Peak, but it didn't show up very well in my phone. If you look real closely, you can see it there in the background. Of course, afterwards we stopped off at Adrianna's for tacos and enchiladas. That's one of the biggest reasons I like going on hikes.
