A Day Out With Friends


My lovely friend, Erin
I'm pretty sure this was a dress for ballet or something, but I bought it anyway. I think it will be a good layering piece.







On Sunday, Erin, Wil, and I had a lovely day out. We started with lunch at Naf Naf Grill, a middle eastern restaurant. My first experience with this type of food. I ordered a falafel because I really like saying the word. I've tried a little before at Whole Foods, but not a whole meal of it. It was actually quite good, so I think we will be returning sometime soon. After that we hit a thrift store called Savers. Usually, I just stop by a local Goodwill, but Savers was surprisingly decent. Imagine an Office Depot building, but instead of office supplies, it was filled with racks and racks of clothing and other thriftable items. Scouring for unmarked clothing in my size was a little difficult. I have large hips and ribs, so some items fit very strangely, while others wouldn't even zip. But, I did buy that black dress. It's nothing all that special, but it will be easy to pair with cute tights and a sweater. I plan on visiting the other Savers locations to see what else I can find. From Savers, we decided to take some photos outside. Do we look freezing? I couldn't feel my toes for about an hour after, but it was well worth it because we rarely ever get pictures with each other. So that was my day.
Until next time, Mandy
