~Travel~ Sister’s Bday Weekend
Last weekend my sisters, mom, and I went on a trip to Austin for my younger sister’s 24th birthday. She works at a hotel and she get’s mega discounts so she got us a room in a beautiful hotel in downtown Austin.
We woke up early and started off our day by, of course, going to Modcloth! And this time I tried on more clothes and….even bought something! I bought my first Modcloth dress and I’m hooked. I sort of wish I bought dress #2 that I also liked, but Modcloth is pricey. Even with the discounts, due to Memorial Day weekend, 15% off everything…20% off of things over $100, plush FREE shipping due to ordering in the store.
I loved wearing these dresses, but it was hard to choose between the two of them. They were the same priced and they both had pockets. POCKETS! We all know that makes a dress better. The yellow one was a bit tight fitting, had I eaten a meal, it would have been too tight for comfort. But the larger size was too big on the top. I’m in between sizes…so if they could have something in between a medium and a large…that would be great. Oh well, it also depends on the dress. Because the one I did buy was a medium and it was a perfect fit. Not too tight, not too loose. They made me feel pretty. Another reason I didn’t buy the elephant dress, was even though the print was pretty, I don’t think it was very “me”. I’d probably pair it with a different color cardigan. I may purchase it in the future… hopefully when it’s on sale. Or perhaps they will have the same style of dress in a different print that is more me.

We stayed in downtown for the entire weekend, walking everywhere! We even made the walk to Book People, a cool book store located not too far away, but in the Texas heat it was a bit taxing. Plus, we had to make the walk back to our hotel so we were pretty tired after that. We made our way back to the hotel to cool down and just relax a bit.
It was a lot of fun spending time with my sisters and mother, our schedules are so different that we don’t always get to see each other. I hope Kat had a great bday weekend, I was happy we got to spend that weekend with her. That’s all for now…until next time. 🙂
Thanks for reading

That blue dress looks so good on you so I’m glad you bought it 🙂 I thought Modcloth was only an online thing btw, whaaa.

@Eena, Thanks so much! I went back and forth but I’m happy with the blue dress. 🙂
And yes, it’s an online store, but they have a small store in Austin TX where you can try on the dresses and then order them in store with FREE shipping. They sell a few jewelry pieces that you can purchase in store and take with you. But shoes, bags and dresses are shipped to you. It’s interesting but I’d love for an actual store where they carried more of their dresses but still nice to try them on. XD

@Mija, I do think we should have sister weekends more often. Even if it’s just the three of us going to a movie. <3
