Oh what to wear.

Yesterday was such a fun day. 

I had to go to Rochester, to pick up my engagement ring, at some point I smacked it on something and cracked the setting.  We were living in Rochester when we got married, so we bought our rings there, which made sense, but now I have to make the drive out there from Syracuse if I need something done to them.

There's a great museum in Rochester, the Strong National Museum of Play, and we've only been a couple of times, I figured it would be quiet on a Thursday, before school is out, so I let Luke play hookey, and off we went.   We were there for over three hours, and had a blast, here are the kiddos on the Sesame Street exhibit:




Mike and I have a date night planned for Saturday, which I'm excited for, we usually only have these nights to celebrate our birthdays and Anniversary.  Mike is a huge fan of Groupon, at one point it was getting a bit extreme, like the time he bought an assortment of cookies for $17 that normally went for $45....but they were really good cookies.

At any rate, we're going down to Skaneateles Lake, which is about 40 minutes from here, but it's such a pretty lakeside town, that it makes you feel like you're much farther from home.  Mike scored a groupon to Mirbeau, we've never been, and I'm debating on what to wear.  I don't think I can get away with wearing jeans, or my pink Boilermaker sweatpants. 

These are my choices:


                 I love this blue dress, but the fabric has a shimmer to it, so it might be too dressy:





Eliza wanted to take my picture, so the rest of these were taken by my four year old:


This one might work, it's more of a summer night by the lake type dress





This wrap dress is super comfy, but the black might be better suited for winter:






Or I could bag the whole dress idea, and go with black pants and a cute top:







Well, what's your vote?!?!?! 


HAPPY WEEKEND!

    They all look cute - seriously!!! I think the 2nd dress is super cute or the pants and shirt with some cute sandals. AND I think you have a great 4 year old photog there as well.

    The play museum looks AWESOME - I want my pix taken on the sesame street stairs!!!!!

    Have a wonderful date!!!!

    Blue dress. I would suggest a shawl in case it is cool, unless you wear sleeves.

    Mirbeau is a wonderful place. Food is delish! Enjoy!!

    Always better to risk being too dressy. I say go with the shimmery one.

    I'd go with the second dress...it has summer written all over it! Any way you go, you'll look great.

    On your Syracuse question--one of my good friends grew up there, so I do get the 411 from her now and again!

    Love the Strong Museum - we have family in Rochester and always take my boys when we're there visiting.

    #2, #1 and #4 are all great options for summer. The black dress is great, but I agree, more for fall and winter. :)
