Peppermint Bliss

I have mentioned before that Maddie, Caroline and I all work together in the 200 sq foot back room at Biscuit. 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, and often we even choose to hang out together after business hours. We’re…close. Maybe even to the point of morphing into one another. Customers regularly comment on how we are dressed alike- and we won’t have even been aware of it.

If you follow us on Instagram you might remember this twin-cident from a few weeks ago.

We have sort of developed a Biscuit uniform- statement jeans, fun flats, top, and cardigan. Comfy flats are essential since we are on the floor all day, and jeans are just easier when we are climbing ladders fetching items for customers. We tend to layer our tops because the store is about 10 degrees colder in our office than on the floor and none of us can regulate our body temperature.

It’s a sensible ensemble.

What makes NO sense is that we showed up to work yesterday dressed like sister-wife-triplets.

AG Stevie jeans, white peplum tops, and colorful cardigans. It was too weird not to photograph. So we hit the streets at lunch and did our best impression of fashion bloggers.

On Maddie: AG Heart Jeans, Peplum Top, Sweater, JCrew Ballet Flats, Ralph Lauren Cardigan, FEED pouch, KV Fringe Necklace

On Bailey: AG Emerald Green Stevie Jeans, Ella Moss Peplum Top, Kate Spade Cardigan, Charlotte Olympia shoes, KV Fringe Bracelet, Emerald Green Giraffe Bracelet

On Caroline: AG Lilac Stevie Jeans, JCrew Peplum Top, Tory Burch Cardigan,  Loren Hope Necklace, Tory Burch Sandals

Obviously we are quite fond of AG Stevie Jeans. We each have completely different bodies and wear different sizes, but they are super comfortable and flattering on all of us. I am obsessed with Caroline’s color combo inspired by her necklace, and dare I say our Holly dining room project? We voted my Ella Moss peplum shirt the favorite- it has just the right amount of stretch and short sleeves. And I am still kicking myself that I never got Maddie’s neon pink ballet flats when they were available on J.Crew- bring them back for me Jenna? Pretty please?

As ridiculous as we felt 1. when we showed up wearing the exact.same.thing and 2. strutting down my street photographing ourselves, it is kind of fun seeing how each of us put a twist on our favored uniform.

I am PADDING hard after the greatest wedding weekend of my life.

Padding= Post.Alcohol.Depression=P.A.D.=PAD-DING. Except it wasn’t really the alcohol, we were on best behavior actually, but I was love-drunk this weekend watching one of my oldest, bestest and most beloved friends get married to her handsome love.

The wedding was held in the Texas hill country, the actual ceremony/reception was at her families river house. The wedding party mostly stayed at a camp nearby- that I happened to attend as a nugget. #Memories. Friday night was a casual bar-b-q welcome party at the camp.

Smoke Shack BBQ catered it, and it was delicious.

Oh, and there was Blue Bell, with these spoons. I couldn’t agree more. Except I would say, “all you need is love…and blue bell ice cream.”

There were late night shenanigans… $1 dollah dollah billz yo.

And then Saturday morning my girlfriends and I and went on a hike-lette.

Followed by BrideSide vs. GroomSide kickball. Two physical activities in a row. That sort of athleticism is unprecedented.

There was a lot of merriment.

And a lot of natural beauty.

And then a lot of bridal beauty. #stunner.

I wore this dress from Old Navy kids on Saturday and got lots of compliments on it.

$16 y’all! 

I got a large and it’s a little snug in the armpits but otherwise, it fit like a comfy coverup. This is me trying to smile with whitestrips on. Lookin’ goofy, but the tassels! So cute.

Magic.

It could not have been a better time. I+J are two of the most charismatic, loving, fun people you could know and the whole weekend was reflective of them. Sweet, casual, fun, and beautiful.

Although, while I was more excited for camp than anyone, Pete and I slept six to a camp cabin (read: one bathroom) with our two best couple friends. In bunk beds. I had top bunk. With one thin foam pillow and camp-issued bedding (‘cept I brought my kumi so I can’t complain). Needless to say, we are a bit sore and exhausted. We loved it though, and the whole weekend got us thinking about the pleasures of country living. Pete had never been to the Texas Hill Country and is now completely obsessed/contemplating packing it all up and becoming a permanent river rat.

How was your weekend?
