I admit it, every now and then, I appreciate some snazz. Not all the time--I value simplicity and hiking and cheap eats. However, every once in a while, I do appreciate and can revel in some snazzy occasions, beautiful venues, red lipstick, & swanky eateries. Especially, if I can manage to do all of that for a deal.
This weekend Mike and I were able to score cheap tickets to the Oregon Symphony- catching their performance before they leave to perform at Carnegie Hall later this week. Taking full advantage of it, we stopped by a thrift shop to dress up for the event. I found a great 1920s-flapper-esque dress that was perfect, and the whole thing was a fun break from the ordinary. The Symphony plays the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall- the iconic and beautiful theatre in downtown Portland originally built in 1928. The show was absolutely beautiful. Afterward we met our friends at a hidden gem of a bar not too far away, that is set up like a secret speakeasy serving prohibition-era cocktails. All around we pretty much felt transported to another time, with great company, beautiful music, and fancy drinks (along with a stop in a vintage photobooth)--who can go wrong? Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
