bridesmaids gone wild!

No, not a video. Just a fun time Friday I thought I would share:

That was the name of an outing planned by some of my coworkers and I last Friday. We all donned formal dresses, bridesmaid dresses and old prom dresses - there were about 8 of us all ranging in age from 22 (me) to early 30s - and we went to a nice restaurant in the Chicago burbs. We got stared at in a good way, told our dresses were really nice by high schoolers and were carded for alcohol since its also homecoming season. Bottom line it was just a lot of fun to wear dresses out for the heck of it. And since I miss formals, it was nice to get decked out.

So, now I am recruiting my friends at home in St. Louis to do the same next month.

And at work we are talking about doing it again, this time going somewhere non-chalant like Old Country Buffet or Chilis in our dresses.

Who says you only have to wear a bridesmaid dress once!

Anyone else ever done this before?
