I am just getting back from a GREAT weekend in Kentucky. I always love going home and spending a weekend with my parents. It's so nice to get away and relax. I am truly a homebody when I go back to my hometown. I like to sit around and watch TV with my parents and play with their cat Elvis.
My hometown shower was perfect! It was so nice and I got so many great gifts! The blue LP dress was a hit with the crowd, not so much with me ... I liked it, but it was not good to wear opening presents as I was constantly worrying that I was giving the crowd an underwear shot (the dress was too short). Also, the arms were tight and constraining which made for difficult present opening. Oh well, at least it looked cute, right?
Thank you all so much for your advice with my outfits :) Now that I have discovered how easy Polyvore (the outfit website) is to use, I will be putting up outfit selections ALL the time! watch out!
Since today was Sunday I couldn't exactly boutique shop in Nashville on my way home (Nashville is the midway point b/w Elizabethtown and Memphis and most boutiques aren't open on Sunday), I decided to stop at the Saks Fifth Avenue outlet to see if maybe, just maybe my dream of finding a pair of discount Louboutins would come true. Boy was I wrong. This place is gross. I have never wanted to get out of a store faster than this Saks outlet. There was not ONE thing I even wanted to try on. Just a bunch of gross waaaay old stuff that they were still trying to charge 250 dollars for. They had ONE pair of Tory Burch shoes that just so happened to be the yucky clear reva flat ones that no one wants and they were still trying to charge 169 dollars for them. Do people not realize that you can go out and buy a normal pair of cute revas for just 20 dollars more? I think the Saks outlet is out to rip people off. Yuck ... I decided to get Starbucks and get the heck out of there. I was tempted by the Banana Republic outlet, but I was soon scared off when I started to see too many creepy older men lurking around looking like they were on the next edition of "To Catch a Predator" ... I had to get out of there before I got abducted!
I hope everyone had a great weekend :)

The outfit looked super cute! Good to know about the Polyvore website. Where is the Banana outlet I Nashville? Just incase the perv area of town is not specific enough directions.
Darrrrrrling!!! Xoxo-BLC
haha ... the saks , br, and every other outlet are all located in the lovely opery mills mall off of briley pkwy.
you looked cute! glad you got lots of fun stuff :)
You look adorable in that outfit! ;)
You looked so cute in your LP dress! I'm glad you had a good time at home.
Yuck to pervs! I will have to remember not to go to those outlets when I go to Nashville this summer. I am glad you had a great shower and enjoyed being home with your family.
Outfit looked amazing!
Yuck to the shopping experience!! On the bright side, you looked gorgeous at the shower. That color looks so pretty on you. I am glad you enjoyed your weekend. Have a great week!
Are you from Elizabethtown??? My parents lived there when they first got married... when Pink Julep was just a glimmer in their eyes! Small world though!
You looked adorable and I'm so jealous of your shower - we can't bring gifts to the island and I work with only men pretty much so I'm not having a shower at all... but at least I won't have to play those cheesy games and pretend they're fun, or return a bunch of stuff I don't like! hahaha
I loved the dress!!!
Sorry you had such a bad trip to Off 5th! There is an AMAZING one in Hilton Head that we go down to sometimes. If you're ever in that area, you should check it out and give Saks a chance to redeem themselves!
Oh gosh... now I'm wasting time during class playing around on Polyvore... Love it!
Your outfit was cute... glad you had a good shower!
I just found your blog. It is so cute, I just love the photos of your little puppy dogs on the side :)
At the risk of sounding remarkably immature, let us just share one thought on the Saks situation: ewwww!
You looked just beautiful in that dress Miss Megan, even though it didn't feel right on, it looked really pretty. But we know what you mean, and just *hate* it when something pulls across the back like that.
It's so good to see you had a nice time! And we can't wait to see some of your Polyvore creations!

I know the Saks outlet of which you speak. R and I went to that mall a few weeks ago to see Watchmen in IMAX. The Saks outlet is so sketchy; I even saw those nasty clear TB flats. Even though it is super-sketchy, I do run in there from time to time. I once got a pair of Lilly capris for $15! They were past-season, but have totally been great for kicking around.
LOVE the matching Lillies on you and your mama! Beautiful!
