How fast did the weekend fly by? They always do though I suppose. I checked off almost all of the things on my weekend to-do list, so that is satisfying. Mr. Wilson did not get a bath…shame on me.

I made the pineapple margaritas…um…I was not overly thrilled with them. Too much lime juice in my opinion. They were definitely still drinkable, but not as delicious as I was hoping.

My hubs and I took the boat down to the beach for an evening cruise around Roanoke Island and then had a marvelous dinner at Owens’ in Nags Head. And yes, I wore a brand new maxi dress that had been sitting in my closet. If you are ever at the Outer Banks and want an amazing dinner with first class service, Owens’ is the place.

I did not start any new paintings, but I did finish one I had been working on for a while. If you follow me on instagram, then you got a peek at the finished product.

My end of week work travels brought me through Raleigh on Friday, where I decided to pop in the mall. I found some fantastic jeans which I can’t wait to wear non-stop. Paige Denim Skyline Ankle Peg jeans. These were on major sale at Belk and I decided to give them a try. I struggle to find jeans that truly fit well, and these are about the best I’ve come across ever. Mid-rise which is almost a necessity for me, the perfect length, and roomy enough in the thigh/butt area to accommodate all my mama gave me. Seen below paired with a fun chambray shirt by Cloth and Stone. I, personally, love denim on denim.

For dinner out Friday night, which ended up being dinner in because we were lazy, I wore my new jeans with a new sleeveless top from H&M.

So hooray for new jeans that fit great. It doesn’t get much better than that.
