Did I mention blue is one of my favorite colors? Just thought I’d reiterate it in case you hadn’t noticed. I kept it casual and monochromatic once again over this past weekend. I don’t know how many shades of blue you’ll find in this outfit but I figure there are at least fifteen. It’s hard to tell, but the Madewell chambray shirt alone has at least four shades of blue.
My family and I went on a short weekend getaway to Great Wolf Lodge, a water park resort, to take advantage of the girls’ mid-winter break. I’m not gonna lie, it’s not my first choice for weekend getaways. I don’t see the point of going to the pool or a water park, for that matter, if you can’t get a tan. But the girls had a blast so I guess it was worth it. I intended to take advantage of the change of scenery and work on my new outfit post from there but when we got there I realized that I had forgotten to bring the camera cable to download the pictures from the camera to my laptop. Rookie mistake…I’m still learning.
I didn’t realize until after I put this outfit together that almost everything I had on was from the Gap. I feel like I can always count on the Gap for comfy, casual yet chic clothes that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. I can’t say enough about my go-to Always Skinny jeans that I have featured several times before (here and here). I love the sequin-stripe tee, it’s casual with a bit of sparkle. I added the moto jacket and the cozy plaid scarf to complete the look.
Today’s natural high: Never expected to find a local Vietnamese restaurant during our stay at Great Wolf Lodge, but we did and the food was pretty good. It was a nice break from the burger and fries and fast food restaurants.
Here’s what made the weekend getaway totally worth it.

And I'm loving your monochromatic gap look! The scarf adds the perfect finishing touch! Thanks so much for linking up!!
Loving your blue themed outfit, and it looks awesome with your jacket & scarf choice. I have had more than a few trips to Great Wolf Lodge myself. I’m with you- not my first vacation choice but kind of makes it worth it when you see how much the kids enjoy it!

That sequined shirt is so pretty!! I’ve stayed at Great Wolf Lodge before–it was a blast!
Were you at the one in Traverse City? And for Vietnamese we like Da Nang in Clawson (pricey but good) and Que Huong on John R. Now I want pho. 🙂
I was at the Sandusky one. I like Da Nang but like you said, pricey, especially if you can go just a couple of miles east to Que Huong, my favorite. Love their bahn-mi!
I love this outfit! It’s simple but special because of the sparkle tee, perfect! You look lovely, glad that I found your blog 🙂
I really love that sparkle tee with the plaid scarf!
Love the sequins and that plaid scarf! perfect chic and casual look!
