New Favorite LBD and Twice Baked Potatoes

Good morning and happy Monday! I’m going to try to start posting in the morning (and writing the night before) to see if that will coordinate better with my new work schedule. It will take some planning ahead on my part, especially for challenges, but I like the idea of morning posts.

Another change I’ve been toying around with has been a new structure for my posts. I really like how Emily of Academia Sartorial divides her posts into Academia (something work-related) and Sartorial (obviously, fashion-related).

Since the focus of my blog is style (Bon Chic) and food (Bon Gastronomique) I thought I might break my posts down similarly. Instead of doing specific style posts and food posts, I would include both elements in each post. This may not always work, but I might try it just to see how it goes. I’d love your input! 

Wearing: Also inspired by Emily (Thank you Emily!) I bought this dress from Target: $20 for a knit black dress that can be dressed up or down? Yes please. 

Cardigan: thrifted Old Navy; dress: Merona, Target; necklace: Dean Harris for Target; belt: Loft; leopard shoes: Merona, Target

Eating: This weekend my husband and I had a stay-in date night, so that we could eat a luxury meal (aka steak) for a bargain. Aaron grilled up some KC Strip steaks (which were $3 off for each thanks to the awesome Target meat guy!) on his new grill. Meanwhile, I made twice-baked potatoes. Cheese, bacon, sour cream… I wish I would have made enough to have leftovers! For my recipe, go here. 

This is what happens when it's dark out when you're eating but you take a picture anyway. But you get the idea.
