Wine and Design...

Been a minute since I posted an Outfit of the Day. Mainly due to the fact that I'm not a big fan of photos taken of myself until I lose some pounds. On top of that, I'm very critical of the photos my photographer (teenage daughter) takes. She gets frustrated and I get annoyed. So most of the photos get deleted.

Anyway... Last Friday, four girlfriends and I went to Wine and Design. It's awesome! A painting studio where you bring wine and paint the picture of the day. I posted my painting on my Instagram. Below is what I wore.



Prabal Gurung for Target shirt, Leather jacket (old), Necklace made by me.

Jeans were purchased at Goodwill for $3. I did the distressing myself. DIY.

Excuse the old hands. I am still in search of a fantastic hand cream! Yeah, some people change their phone cases every 5 minutes, I change my nail polish. Cocktail ring by me.

Seriously, I cannot breath in this photo!! lol. Teenager is telling me to "suck it in!" Love my white Converse! Deciding if I should stud them or leave them alone.

Sip and Stroke...

This past weekend my girlfriends and I used our Living Social voucher for a Sip and Stroke paint class. Sip on some wine and Stroke on a piece of canvas. It was a lot of fun. Between sipping on Moscato and Lime-A-Ritas, snacking on chicken salad, seafood salad, and pepper jack cheese, we all painted a lovely floral piece. Our instructor, Dawn, was very patient will all the laughter, silliness, and questions. Below are some pictures from Sip and Stroke. I hope you all have a Happy Wednesday!

Girls Night Out...Wine and Designs

Since moving to Greensboro 7 yrs ago, I am so blessed to have a great group of girlfriends. Four of us try to get together once a month for a girl's night out. This month, 3 of us are celebrating birthdays. We decided to go to a local art studio called Wine and Design for some wine and painting. You bring your own bottle of wine and snacks, Wine and Design will supply the rest (paint, smocks, 16x20 canvas, and wine opener). Every night they feature a different picture for you to paint. Last night was Pumpkin Night. When we arrived, three pumpkins were drawn on our canvas. Our art teacher, Katherine, was great. She gave us step by step instructions, and no it was not paint by numbers. We had a fabulous time! We all left with a great piece of art to hang on our walls. Mine is already hanging in my kitchen. Check out the pics from last night.
