the weekend started out great with a run to turkey creek with phillip. he drug me to gander mountain and i drug him to super target so i guess we are even. phillip, erin and i then met mawsie and tony for supper at our favorite, aubrey's. as usual, it was delicious and its safe to say that i certainly indulged with the slice of key lime pie i ate all by myself. below is the outfit i wore to dinner - sorry about the selfie quality!

saturday brought college football back to knoxville. i woke up extra early with excitement! the entire family came into town for the game and brought along a big tailgate. since i have a kitchen this year, i can contribute to the tailgate spread so i made a southwest cornbread salad (recipe below) and some of my healthier pimento cheese. of course, i dressed up for the game because thats how we do football in the south and wore white since i adhere to the "no white after labor day" rule. i completed my outfit with my "AXO loves the Vols" gameday pin and power t nail appliques!

as always, there was more than enough food at the tailgate. the lowe-parsley-jennings family knows how to tailgate and we don't mess around when it comes to food. the game was fun as well. the atmosphere in neyland stadium is unlike any other and 97,000 people singing rocky top will give you chills no matter how hot it is. most of the alpha chi's sat together in the student section so we had a good time. i liked what i saw on the field last night and its always nice to start to season out with a W.
this morning, i am meeting the rest of the family for brunch at chesapeake's, one of our favorite restaurants. there isn't an OOTD for this outing because i am committing a crime to fashion and repeating an outfit i wore in july to loveless cafe. it is one of my favorite outfits and i wanted to wear it one last time before labor day.
southwest cornbread salad
1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can no-salt added corn, rinsed and drained

1/2 c Greek Yogurt

- In large serving bowl, crumble cornbread. Combine all other salad ingredients and stir to combine with cornbread.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve with dressing on the side.
this afternoon i plan on grocery shopping, maybe stopping by the new anthropologie (eek!), spending some time with my mom and dad and doing homework so i can hopefully relax by the pool all day tomorrow. i love being busy all weekend but it sure can be exhausting so i am going to try to rest up and get ready for this coming week.
xoxo,
