I initially bought this Limited Obi Belt for an outfit I had in mind. As it turned out the Obi Belt didn't work with the outfit. I put the belt away and forgot about it. A few weeks later, I was looking for a belt to cinch the waist of this dress and came across the Obi Belt. I decided to give it another try. The hardest thing was figuring out how to tie the belt. After several attempts of different tying methods I decided to use the belt as a sash.
This past weekend I went to Vegas with my colleagues for the weekend. It was the first trip, in all the years that I have been married, that I had taken a trip somewhere without my husband. My husband and I have always traveled together and have never spent a night apart. Even during the time I went to Hawaii for a conference my husband went with me.
Up until the day of the trip, I was pretty nervous about spending a couple nights away, but my colleagues and my husband told me not to worry so much and have some fun.
We were so busy running around that I didn't really get a chance to take pictures.
I want to say thanks to Michelle for her recommendations of the things to see and places to eat.

The temperature was 100 degrees so it reminded me of the temperatures growing up in central California. Weather like this didn't really bother me very much back then but I've gotten use to the weather in San Diego so I pretty much felt like I was melting. (Yes San Diego weather has spoiled me.)

Hello from the M&M store. My boss' favorite store.
My colleague was sweet to get us tickets to "Vegas! The Show." The show was about Vegas' past and famous entertainers during that time. It was a fantastic show. I think If there is one thing you should do while you are in Vegas, it is to go see one of the shows. The music and dances were spectacular. The dancers were in great shape and I kept thinking during the show that I really need to hit the gym soon.
I had a great time in Vegas. I survived the weekend without my husband though, I have to admit, it did get pretty lonely at night without him. LOL I sound like a newly wed.
Hope everyone's week is going well.
Sounds like you had a great time, even with the crazy temperatures. And I love that obi belt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. I have a great time despite the heat.
DeleteYou stayed in Caesars? I love it :) I stayed there too! and I got to see a Cirque De Soleil there! It was awesome!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I'll check out your blog.
DeleteLove what you did with the Obi belt! I've been to Vegas once and I would love to go back!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tara.
DeleteYay! Glad you had fun! Caesars is a great hotel to be at...the mall is right below your room! :) I apologize for the heat! Did you get a chance to swim?
ReplyDeleteI am the same way as you...I do not like being away from my husband like that. I tried it once years ago when I went up to Seattle with my in-laws for about three days. I don't want to do that again! I might be able to handle Hawaii, though! :p
Also...great outfit! Loving that belt. Especially paired with those shoes.
Thanks so much Michelle. We were so busy we didn't get a chance to enjoy the pool. There are so many things to do and see in Vegas. One day there is definitely not enough time.
DeleteLooks like you had a lot of fun! I've never been to Vegas, but it's definitely on my to-visit list for the future. : )
ReplyDeleteVegas is definitely one of the place you must visit. I think Spring and Fall is the best time to visit. Summer is just too hot.
DeleteGreat you had fun in Vegas! Your husband and you must be such a lovely couple. It is so wonderful you found and are with such a great guy!
ReplyDeleteThanks SS. I'm very lucky to have him as a husband.
DeleteSooo so jealous you went to Vegas without me! It's so much fun, I've been there 5x! And the last time I went I stayed at the Caeser's palace. The M&M world is such a fun place, so much to buy and see!
ReplyDeleteBessie, I didn't know you want to go. Next time I'll let you know. This time was my first time. We drove there. It was a 6 hrs drive.
DeleteWOW great belt! Hope you had a great time in Vegas...when I have gone it was also around August and it was sooo hot..Hope you were near a pool at all times. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks. We were so busy running around that we didn't the chance to enjoy the pool.
Deletelove that belt!

I have always loved the look of the obi belt but dont own any. It paired nicely with your lace dress. What a fun girls trip to Vegas. I want to visit one day but with a liitle one in tow we def have to wait.
ReplyDeleteLike you, i get nervous if i have to go without my husband. As cliche as it may sound, he is my everything from husband, best bud to shopping partner to wanting to kill each other. You and your husband sound like a very loving couple, so sweet.

Absolutely LOOOVE that first outfit with the Obi belt. I still have never been to Vegas - looks like a fun time :)
ReplyDeleteI love Vegas! but sometimes its just a bit much for me. And don't get me started on the shopping there. SO many stores!
ReplyDeleteThe obi belt is a perfect addition to that dress! It balances out the girly lace details. I've totally been eying the Limited's obi belts, I'll have to pick one up next time there's a promotion :)
So fun! I've never been to Vegas but it is on my list of places to visit someday!
ReplyDeleteexactly 2 yrs ago we were in vegas and also stay at the Caesar Palace. I loved it there, wish we can go back but so hard with a baby..maybe one day! glad u had a great time!
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage inspired look. The outfits look very romantic.
ReplyDeleteVegas is such a fun place to visit. Its one of the places I visit at least once a year.
