STYLE EXPERIMENT: EVENING AT ESPANOL

On Sunday we had yet another gathering to go to -- dinner at Espanol restaurant in Sacramento, to celebrate three birthdays: my mother's (next week), my friend Cathy's and our mutual friend Byra's. Cathy's parents treated us all to dinner there because it's one of their all-time favorite eateries. It's also the oldest restaurant in Sacramento, established in 1923! Despite the name, it features all Italian food, which is quite delicious!

I decided to wear my Tracy Feith for Target embroidered top because I thought it's colorful and festive. Instead of wearing it with jeans, however, I decided to experiment with one of my denim skirts and huarache-style sandals. Here's how it turned out:

I'm going to continue experimenting with A-line skirts for this blouse. I think a more flared skirt will work well with it too. It just has to be a neutral shade to offset the bright hue on top.

A closeup of the shoes, which I love! They're soft and very comfortable.

The dinner was fabulous, and afterwards we all had cake at Cathy's parents' home. A perfect way to cap off the weekend!
