When your friend asks you to go shopping with her for a ‘new job wardrobe’, you say yes. Or at least you should! I went on a shopping adventure with my friend who had just accepted a position at a local office. Her previous employer didn’t require a dress code, but of course this one did. I was up for the challenge. I mean, who doesn’t want to pick out all of the clothes and not have to buy anything! 😉 My friend and I went to so many stores that day and learned that finding fashionable work attire was harder than we thought it was going to be. She is a mom of three and didn’t want to spend a lot on clothes she didn’t really like and wouldn’t wear anywhere other than work. We managed to find a few staple pieces like black pants, black capris, white collared shirts and a couple floral shirts that she didn’t despise and didn’t empty her wallet. There were still pedicures planned that day and she didn’t want to forego those! We talked during those glorious foot scrub
With just 10 hours of drive time to Denver, Colorado (and the right concerts playing in one weekend) my husband, our dog Sadie, and I decided to pack up and go! I know it sounds crazy to a lot of people, but we just can't say no when all the right cards are on the table. We have always wanted to take our extremely spoiled pooch hiking with us (and just on vacation in general) and we have also stalked concerts playing at the Red Rocks for years now. The Red Rocks is a naturally formed, outdoor amphitheater just minutes outside of Denver. Pictures of this place just look phenomenal and the natural acoustics are amazing. The Denver Post put together a list of the 10 most memorable concerts ever played at the park and this list is stellar. The Beatles (1964), The Grateful Dead (1978), John Denver (1974), U2 (1982), and Radiohead in 2003 are a few on the list.
