I love playing a good card game, especially if Spades are involved. Then, there are moments when I enjoy a great game of chess as well. That's right, call it what you want, but I come from a family of devoted chess players. Whenever I go to visit my father the marble case is opened, and we pick up wherever we left off from our last game. It's quite a special time whenever it happens.
My friends and I also occasionally have a game night where a bunch of us relax, and enjoy laughs as we eat gourmet hors d'oeuvres. It's an anti-stress environment, we have chilled sips from our favourite stemware, and all in our Sunday's best! There's something about being all dolled up for no rhyme or reason other than because you want to as you're encompassed by loving friends. The night tends to occur when everyone needs a breakaway, and we're all split up in coupled groups trying to defeat one another in a little "friendly competition."

Due
to all of our busy schedules it doesn't happen often enough, but when
it does it's always a night to remember. This is an outfit that I wore
for our game night a little while ago, which is not exactly my version
of being dressed up. However, for me, I wanted to be playful casual this
time, especially since I am usually in work ensembles. I also wore a
fascinator with this outfit, but added it after I shot these photos. In
the end, it was all about having fun and enjoying the company of
friends. And that is not too shabby for a weeknight of bliss!

Love love that lace neck ruffle, it is darling and I would wear that! This whole outfit is gorgeous really, you look beautiful!!The pop of colour from your heels is great too :) Hope you have a great day doll and all is well xo
ReplyDeleteI love this look my dear! It's great how you've taken a pair of skinny jeans and a classic white shirt and given both pieces a completely unique twist by adding in some braces and that beautiful lace neckpiece! The splash of pink with your gorgeous shoes is also a lovely choice.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so nice to have little traditions, such as picking up your game from where you left off and though you might not do it as much you'd like at least you will always have those precious memories. Great post as always, hope you're well :)
Take care,
Daniella xox

Ah, I love nights like that too! I do wish I could play chess though, I've always wanted to learn, but none of my family or friends play so I was never taught.
