Please ignore the fabric string. :) (Sooper thought it was my hair!) |
This Saturday we had a double date night with our great friends, Jon and Alicia, at Ancho's Southwest Bar and Grill. Sooper and I love, love, love Mexican/Southwestern food, and I could definitely eat it everyday if Sooper would agree to it! We have already eaten at Ancho's twice this trip. The unique thing about Ancho's is the tortilla-making machine right in the middle of the restaurant. You can watch balls of dough magically turn into warm, fresh tortillas, which they give to each table along with delicious chips and homemade salsa. I also love their jalapeno and cheese tamale, which Sooper and I share each time we visit...yum! All this talk about Ancho's makes me crave Mexican for dinner tonight...maybe with some convincing. :)

Now, after that background information and Mexican food rambling, onto the fashion. I am excited to share one of my new favorite combinations...nautical stripes and orange. Adding the orange accessories to this casual striped dress give it that pop of color that is perfect for summer. This nautical (navy/cream) striped cotton dress is simple, yet with the right accessories, it is a perfect look for day or night.

Orange Woven Clutch: H & M (similar @ Etsy here) Orange/Cream ELLE Sandals (Kohl's) - SALE (available @ Kohl's online here) |
This look is super affordable, and Sooper will be glad to know that I am not spending all our money shopping while he is working hard! He thought the outfit looked great (but says I look great in anything...thanks babe) and was sweet enough play photographer outside the hotel on Saturday. :)
Laters ya'll! (for my fellow Fifty Shades lovers) :)

Ah! You are so cute and I love that you are a librarian. As a former high school teacher and a current English PhD student, I am pretty sure we would be great friends!
ReplyDeleteYou look incredible. That Mexican restaurant sounds great by the way. The freshest tortilla strips ever.
ReplyDeleteThere are different types of menus and you must find some that have whole beans or the meat like chicken or pork. phoenix Mexican restaurant
