Happy Birthday to my father-inlaw! Surprise 80th birthday in Sacramento at the Elks Lodge ( notice Elk head :). It wasn't as sweltering hot as I anticipated but, still plenty hot.

I totally scored on my outfit which I purchased on Thursday from my favorite resale store. White eyelet dress was new Coldwater Creek, with tags attached, purchased for $20. Beautiful Cole Haan sandals for $15. SOLD!
