What I Wore: Colorblocks and Card Games

Alright, so I am very late to the colorblock game and seriously late to the whole "leggings" thing.  This is the first time since middle school that I have worn leggings - you know, back when stirrup pants were popular. (Yes, I wore stirrup pants with a long sweater.  Yes, it was hideous.  If I find evidence, I might show you.)

I don't know why I waited so long.  Leggings are comfortable as all get out!  I need to find more things I can wear them with in the cooler temperatures.  I paired the leggings with this great colorblock dress from Lane Bryant.  They still have this dress online and in every size!

The colorblock dress is great to me for many reasons: 1) I love the soft knit fabric, 2) love the overall length, 3) love the splash of bright pink!, 4) the sleeves actually go to my elbows, and 5) the cowl neckline is something I don't have in my closet.

I almost didn't try this dress on when I was shopping at the store.  On the hanger, it looked like a giant shapeless rectangle of fabric.  I decided to try it on solely based on the colors and the longer sleeves.  I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be so cute!   This dress has elastic in the waist to give it some shape, but it looks best paired with a belt.  I think my only complaint is that I wish the skirt was a more full A-line.

I wore this comfy ensemble to a dinner party and game night with friends.  My cousin Mindy made Smoked Salmon Chowder, while I brought the fixings for Pizookies!  We feasted, drank wine, talked, and laughed.  Then I busted out Cards Against Humanity.  I know I've mentioned this game before, but haven't explained too much about it in a post.

Cards Against Humanity

Cards Against Humanity is "a party game for horrible people".  (That's their tagline, not mine. lol)  It is a great group card game meant to be silly and offensive.  If you have a twisted sense of humor, you will LOVE this game.  I've had many friends buy it based on my recommendation.  After they play it, they are hooked!   The basic premise is that each person takes turns reading a black card that contains a question or fill-in-the-blank type sentence.  The other players choose from their hand of ten white cards to answer the question or fill in the blank.  The ten cards in a players' hand are filled with names of random people, places, activities, bodily functions or parts, etc.  Some can be pretty offensive on their own or even more so (and HILARIOUS) when played in a round.  These are some tame examples:

We've had so many hours of enjoyment playing this game.  They often run out of stock, so sign up on their website to be emailed when they get stock in.  Also, if you want to help me get a few cents, you can buy it via the following links:
