Totally Necessary

 As you're reading this, I am on my way up to Chicago with a bunch of girlfriends for a [two day] bachelorette party for our friend Laura. Plans consist of: a Cubs game, brunch, beach, drinks, food, laughs, more drinks, strippers [just kidding... maybe], craziness, etc! After the girls head home Sunday, I'm going to stay behind to help my sister move into a new apartment and celebrate her birthday a week early. This has been such a busy week so I'm ready to have fun with some of my favorite girls :D

I'm playing this fun game in these pictures called: pretend like you're not melting while having your picture taken. These 100 degree temps can go away any time now...

I love this dress because it can easily be dressed up or down. I've worn it once before with a chunky beaded turquoise necklace and a brown braided belt with matching sandals. It can also be worn with a shirt over it to make it appear like a skirt; kind of a two in one deal, which I'm always a fan of.

 Because I won't be returning to Springfield until Monday afternoon, there will be no blog post until next Wednesday. In the mean time, follow my weekend adventures on Instagram!

 Have a safe and fun holiday weekend, everyone!
