I wore this shift to attend the 10th Anniversary celebration of  Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier at Ale Asylum with Kate & Daniel. I chose this dress because it reminded me of chocolate & caramel...in other words, I dressed as a truffle. I bought this dress at least 6 years ago when Igigi was having a sale, & this is the very first time I've ever worn it. How sad is that? 

This anniversary party was crazy...all the free beer & chocolate you could fit in your tummy. And Gail makes thee most absolutely amazing truffles. I must have had a dozen sea salted caramels (my favorite). Towers & plates full of dark chocolate everywhere you looked. 

I'm not much of a beer connoisseur, preferring wine & craft cocktails...but Ale Asylum had some delicious beer! My favorite was Kink (Belgium Abbey).

There were 2 plates of truffles on each table that were paired with the same beer. We couldn't try them all, even with Kate & I sharing. So much chocolate! It was an absolutely delightful party, but its been 3 weeks & I still haven't had a craving for chocolate. 

 I got these shoes at Savers for a few dollars & I love them...
