OOTD: Dinner Cruise

Okay so I have been sooo busy that I haven't been posting lately.  I have a couple of OOTD post that I'll do today. First starting with my church's singles ministry event. The singles ministry organized a boating tour of Lake Minnetonka aboard the Lady of the Lake (docked at the Port of Excelsior). It was a perfect day for it too. Hot but breezy and no humidity. Our church was having a special event that called for everyone to be in jeans and t-shirts or jerseys for the service. It was suggsted to the singles attending the boating excursion to bring a change of clothes for the boat.

I didn't plan on going and so I did not bring a change of clothing however numerous people kept asking me to go, so I changed my mind and purchased a ticket. But I didn't want to be on the boat with my hot jeans and long sleeved shirt from my alma mater so I headed off to the store.


I went to three stores, setting my budget for no more than twenty dollars. I was dissapointed because it seemed that I would be blowing my budget. However I went into Herbergers and found a beautiful hi-lo dress marked down from $30 to $14.99. Bingo, bango!!! The dress was perfect considering that I had to find something that matched the shoes, earrings and purse that I was already wearing. The dress even matched the lavender of my nail polish. and the bronze color of my bag was even in the dress. as well. Not to mention I didn't have a necklace so the beading detail at the front sufficed perfectly. I tried the dress on and when I saw that it fit went straight for the cash resgister, dress still on! To sum it up I had a very lovely time aboard the boat fellowshiping, dining and sight seeing. If you follow me on twitter (@GisellePhorbes) then you know how I relaxing I thought that boat ride was and how I very much want a boat of my own.
