Monday Round Up: Baseball + Birthdays / My Monochromatic Life

Happy Monday! So I had a pretty busy weekend and we did lots o' stuff. Hope you all had a great weekend too. I also hope your weather was better than ours. It's the end of June the highest the temps got this weekend was 67. Um,..what? Mother nature needs to get a clue.

On Friday I was itching to do something. I just wanted to get out of the house and maybe go see some friends. We tried to locate a couple of people who were busy, then it just started getting late so we decided to rent a movie and stay in. That movie Get Out was finally at Redbox so we got it. I really liked it and I am not much of a horror movie fan. It is more like a thriller in the vein of Stepford Wives. Really good. I would highly recommend it.

On Saturday we decided to make a quick boat outing. We called up a friend and D and him attempted to fish. The weather was supposed to be a little chilly, but sunny. Nope. It felt like wherever we went on the lake was cloud cover. Super frustrating. My goal was to keep Reese warm. Eventually, it looked that rain was imminent so we tried to get off the lake but then suddenly like four people tried to get on. As soon as the boat got docked the rains came in. It started coming down so I sat in the car with Reese as the boys loaded up. Hoping the weather gets nicer soon.

That night we went to a St. Paul Saints game for my sister's birthday. They built a new stadium about three years ago and D and I had not been yet. This was the perfect excuse. As you can see, the skies opened up however it was pretty chilly. I put together a fun and casual look for the evening (see below). I legit don't know if they won, I mean this is not affiliated with MLB at all, however they do fun games in between innings and the announcers were hilarious. It is more like they provide commentary than announcing. They also have an app where you can order beer and food and then they bring it right to you. Genius!! Also out in left field there is a craft beer section with 30 different brews, mostly local. So cool! Loved it and had a great time.

Sunday was supposed to be a more productive day than it turned out to be. I got up later than I wanted because I was so tired. Little lady lets us sleep in later if we bring her in the bed after her morning feeding. The local theater The Guthrie is doing a production of Sunday In The Park With George and I felt like Reese and I were doing our own version.

I did a little work that morning. My sister in law stopped over for a bit and before I knew it the day was over. Not before D got the best picture of Miss Reese thought.

There you have it my weekend. Earlier in the week, I swung in at the Apricot Lane in St. Louis Park as that location was closing. The other locations are still open but this was closing down. I figured I would swing in and see what was left. It was pretty picked over but I did locate this top and one other thing I will post about later. I have wanted a knot front top for a while and I love this one. I bought it a little big for the length in the front. It is the perfect length for a high waist jean. I also love that it is longer in the back so you aren't pulling it down all the time. For the game, I wore my favorite high waisted jeans and these Lucky Brand boots that are super comfortable. I thought about flats but I can't wear high waisted jeans with flats, just feels unbalanced. It was a chilly night so I threw on this bomber jacket I got in a Stich Fix awhile back. I love this jacket and any opportunity to wear it I do it. It was the perfect thickness to stay warm with just enough interest to be fashion forward, even at a baseball game.
