What Do You Wear to a Rooftop Pool Party?

Now, I know what to wear to a pool party in Vegas, or the Jersey shore:  the least amount of clothing, the maximum amount of oiled-up, tanned skin.  Show off your tats, pile on some bling, don your aviators, poof your poof, and get ready to untz-untz with the best of them.

Something tells me a PGA celebration on the rooftop of the Radisson in Rochester is going to look a little different..

If you are lucky enough to be on the guest list for one of the hottest parties in town, I am here to help you navigate that age-old question:  What do I wear?

Ladies:  It's going to be sunny and breezy, so shades are a must and a low-maintence 'do is recommended.  Think beachy waves or up off of your neck and out of your face.  As for wardrobe choices, you can't go wrong with a sundress.  What better way to soak in the summer evening air than in a comfortable, flowing dress?  No time to change after work?  No problem, plenty of people will be heading from the office to the rooftop, so business casual is just fine.  There will also be your fair share of party go-ers coming right off the course, so pro-shop chic will do as well.

Gents:  I have to say, you guys have it so much easier than we do.  Throw on khaki sorts, boat shoes, and a golf shirt and you can pretty much go anywhere.  When is the last time you heard a man whisper to another man:  "Can you believe he is wearing THAT?"   I'll tell you when:  NEVER.  When it comes to guys, the only thing they really need to remember is "no shirt, no shoes, no service." Everything else is fair game.

What everyone should leave at home:  swimwear, glitter, and fist-pumping dance moves.

What I'll be wearing:

(Photo from my trip to Mexico last October)
Guess Maxi Dress - I'll be scrapping the heels and evening bag, knotting the bottom and wearing flats.
I'll add some Beach waves and fun jewelry and I'll be good to go.

What will you be wearing Thursday night?

Not on the guest list?  Better hurry (space is limited) and you must be on the list for guaranteed admission and comp parking in the Radisson garage.  RSVP to rooftopparty@rochesteralist.com.

Hope to see you there!

Cocktails and shopping.

Not to mention Cure, Devil May Care, and Kouture.

And sales, and giveaways, and girl time.

Ok so it's all of my favorite things...

It doesn't get much better than this, Rochester:

Now for the really important question:  Who is going with me?

Cocktails and Cuisine on the Patio - Rochester Blogger Network Launch

One week ago today, over forty local bloggers and writers gathered at Napa Wood Fired Pizzeria in the South Wedge to celebrate the launch of the Rochester Blogger Network.  Guests mingled, sipped signature cocktails, and were treated to an exclusive tasting menu created especially for the event.  

The energy on the patio was electrifying - so much local talent in one space.  I loved getting to know all of the bloggers and hear about the different genres and topics that Rochester writers are exploring.  From local happenings to fashion and parenting, to social commentary and tech, there was such a variety of interests represented.  What a great night!

To be able to bring together so many unique voices with so many important things to say was not only inspiring, but humbling as well.  The future is looking awfully bright:  there are so many great things in the works for the Rochester Blogger Network.  This is only the beginning!

As I sit here looking at these photos and thinking back to last week, all I can tell you is that I feel blessed beyond measure, giddy with anticipation for the future, and grateful to be a part of such an amazing community of writers!

I love this city!

Thanks to everyone who came out and for all of your support!
