Hello to all reading this blog post! Thank you for stopping by :) I'm catching up on some Pretty Little Liars while I write this blog post! I'm very new to the TV show and I'm liking it so much that I've been breezing through episodes! I'm currently watching the third season on Netflix to try and catch up with season four (which is on TV) and I'm really enjoying it so far!
Anywho, in my last blog I mentioned that I wanted to talk about Cody's birthday dinner but I got a little distracted blabbing on about his birthday party. So, onto the fabulous birthday dinner! We went to eat with Cody's sister, brother, sister in law, father and his fathers girlfriend. It was such a great time and I was so happy to see everyone! Before I start on where we went and how AMAZING everything was I'm going to post some pictures of my outfit from that night!
I paired a white baggy button-up blouse with a tight denim acid wash skirt and strappy sandals. The acid wash skirt is a size medium from Pac Sun. It's high-waisted and it was $39.00. One thing you should ALWAYS splurge on is denim; denim will last forever! The white baggy blouse has gold buttons and is also a size medium. I decided that I didn't want to wear it tucked in, so I let it flow over the skirt. It has a really nice fit and was soo comfortable. I wore a simple black (kind of) sports-bra garment underneath the sheer blouse and loved the way it looked! Especially because my strappy sandals (from H&M) were black also. The blouse is from Charlotte Russe and was $14.95. Such a steal! The shoes were $12.00, so, all together my outfit came to $66.95! A full special occasion outfit from a retail store for under $75.00! Sounds like smart shopping to me!
Here's what the outfit looked like put together:
I hope you all like the outfit as much as I did!
Now, onto the delicious dinner! We went to Carmine's in the Tropicana Casino located in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Here's a picture of inside the Tropicana Casino:
They are a family style restaurant which means their plate portions are HUGE and meant to be shared. Fortunately,I have pictures of the delectable dishes!
The picture above is the "Four Pasta Special" it was very very yummy 😋
Next was the meat portion of our meal! The meat was so tender it practically cut itself in half! The green peppers really topped the dish out and made my mouth water the moment I saw it!
Overall, I was very very impressed with Carmine's! We had such a great time there. They also have such great dessert! One of their desserts is called the "Titanic" and it's a HUGE plate full of ice cream, bananas, brownies, etc. We got the Tugboat instead of the Titanic, it was a smaller version! The waitress (who was great) put a candle in it and we sang happy birthday to Cody!
I could've eaten the entire plate in one bite! But I was so full from dinner :( I splurged and enjoyed a few bites, though. :) we ended the night with Cody playing some slot machines, which he was really excited to do since he was a fresh 21 year old!
It was definitely fun to do something new that we both haven't done before! I'm looking forward to my next visit to the Tropicana Casino as well as Carmine's!
