What I Wore: Brunching in Lace
To celebrate Mother's Day (and my birthday), we opted to try something new and head out to Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington for their big Mother's Day Brunch. The weather was absolutely gorgeous!! From our table by the window, we watched kids run around outside and moms and grandmas take naps in the sun. Sean, his mom Sharon, and I dined on mimosas, smoked salmon, eggs benedict, sausage and bacon, vegetable salads, baked fish, clam chowder, waffles, prime rib, and a selection of desserts. It was expensive, but tasty! After brunch, we all headed outside to sit in the sun and breath in the fresh air. Did I mention how pretty the scenery was?
The lovely people at Kiyonna sent me the Sweet Leah Lace Dress, which was perfect for this outing. I love the combination of the plum and blue together! The lining of the dress is a rich shade of purple in a thicker, but breathable, stretchy material. It could be worn by itself or with other accessories because it isn't attached to the beautiful blue lace shell. One thing to note: A lot of my necklaces snagged on the lace, so smoother jewelry or shorter necklaces are ideal. The one I am wearing snagged a little on the lace and just stayed in place. The lace also has some stretch to it that makes this dress comfortable to wear, while still adding a bit of dressiness and texture. After a forty-five minute car ride and stuffing my face with deliciousness, I still looked and felt incredible in this frock. (And was kind of obsessed with swishing the full skirt around like I was dancing.)

A few extra photos of my mother-in-law, husband, and I:
I am still in awe of the beauty of the Northwest. It never gets old seeing Mount Saint Helens or Mount Hood in the background. On this trail back to the parking lot, it reminded me of the Forest Moon of Endor. The last photo was taken as we crossed the Bridge of the Gods.
