This is an outfit I wore over the weekend to have lunch with my old freshman roommate, who lives in California, so I haven’t seen her in YEARS. Part of the fun – or horror – of going to college is getting thrown into a tiny room with a random person whom you may or may not like. Your freshman roomie is probably someone you’ll never forget, either because he/she was your very first friend in college, or because he/she was the freak of all freaks. Lucky for me, mine was the former!

We spent Sunday reminiscing about the good ol’ days (the parts we remember, anyway) and catching up on how our lives have changed since then. I think we’ve matured, but only slightly. Here’s a picture of us in our dorm room in 2003, and us today! We’re kind of like wine…age has only done good things for us.

When suddenly…

…I had a new friend! I’m kind of like Sleeping Beauty. I frolic about near a tree, and animal life just appears around me. Now if only I could channel Cinderella and get the animals to make me a dress.

20120830-183750.jpgI got the scoop from a neighbor that this little cutie has been hanging around the area for about a month now. Hopefully she finds a forever home soon (our apartment unfortunately cannot handle the scent of 2 cats). She was SO friendly. But she did try to steal my spotlight. Let’s talk about me some more:

Where did the title of this post come from, you may ask? Well, I know “arm parties” are all the rage these days, but I just don’t like them. #1: Having 10 bracelets clanging around on my wrist would drive me crazy. #2: If you wear every bracelet and watch you own at one time, you lose the fun in picking out your accessories! So instead of an arm party, I’m just having a small, intimate arm get-together. There’s still plenty of fun to be had, but the guest list is a bit shorter. And instead of the keg and solo cups you’d have at an arm party, my wrist will be serving cocktails in real stemware (OK, maybe I just want a drink right now).

Hope your Labor Day is non-laborious!

Bracelets are from Forever 21
