Our weather has started to turn cooler, and the rain has fallen for a few days. So it is beginning to feel a little like autumn in the mountains.
On Saturday, we joined my extended family members and friends to surprise the 60th birthday party for my cousin's sweet husband.
Mr. Mickey and I always make a fun day out of every such event, so we drove up early in the day to share a light lunch at "Eat Crow" and then spent the day shopping and visiting with friends in Blowing Rock.
One of the other Eat Crow patrons drove up in a white Lamborghini. He and Mr. Mickey became fast friends.
The surprise birthday dinner party was held on the patio at Joy Bistro in Boone, North Carolina. The food and service were excellent! We highly recommend it.
Rhonda and I were the only cousins rocking the heels!
Larry is also a car lover who owns a Classic Pontiac Trans Am, so this extraordinary birthday cake made him very happy.
In keeping with the Ralph Lauren jacket's distressed softer color, I wore a cream-colored tank and khaki pants with similar colored heels and a woven straw clutch. Unfortunately, all the items are more than a year old.
I hope that the looks and tips I share inspire you to build a wardrobe that can be mixed and matched and enjoyed for years to come.
