Happy Hour: Grapefruit Mojitos

Jun 14, 2013

When I originally spotted these Grapefruit Mojitos on Pinterest, all I could think was, “Yes. Yes, I need that.”  The perfect combination of sour, sweet and herbs, this cocktail from Iowa Girl Eats will be served at many upcoming rooftop dinner parties.  Heck, I may stop at the grocery store on the way home for a few Ruby Reds.

JNY Belted Shirt Dress ($88)

The dress is a little June Cleaver, but that’s what I like about it.  It’s perfect for a summertime dinner party.  I also like this chambray number.

If you’re looking for something sleeker, try this pale blue poplin shirt with tuxedo details or this purple knit shirtdress.  I also like the print on this sleeveless shirt dress. And if you want something ultra-feminine, have a look at this dot-print dress with a pleated skirt.

Plus-size: I like this full-skirted dress and this graphic print one.  Petite: This Brooks Brothers style is a classic.

Happy Hour

    If you like the grapefruit mojito, try the Spicy Grapefruit Margarita– grapefruit juice, tequila infused for 2-3 hours with a couple seeded serrano peppers, a little simple syrup or agave, over ice. Super good.

    I usually love everything you post, but this dress totally missed the mark. It’s very matronly and not at all representative of the fun, confident outfits I look forward to seeing on CHS.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
