Fun fact: Indianapolis is home to the largest children’s museum in the world. The only bad thing about the museum is that there are always a bunch of children there. Go figure. But in 2013, Adult Swim Indy was born. On this one night of the year, they open the museum up to adults only. Tickets are pricey because it’s a fundraiser, but thanks to the generosity of a friend (whose dad is a sponsor of the event), I got to go last year and again this past weekend.
It is…so. much. fun. Picture 2500 drunk grownups hula hooping and riding a carousel. There are tasty food samples from local vendors (beer cheese soup has changed my life), a DJ, and a drum circle surrounded by dinosaur skeletons. You can see a few photos from the night on my Instagram feed.
As an added bonus, Adult Swim has become sort of fashion show too! I think people really take advantage of the chance to wear something different from what they would wear on a typical weekend. I don’t know if you knew this about me, but I quite enjoy an excuse to put together a fun outfit, and this is what I came up with! I figured as long as I’m going to be at a children’s museum, I might as well act like a child and insist on wearing all my favorite things at once: plaid, leather, ankle boots, fun jewelry, red lipstick, and an unexpected hat that clashes with everything else. I’m a big girl…I’ll do what I want.

And as long as I’m being childish, here are some funny faces:

Stop it. This sounds like soooo much fun! I think every children’s museum should do this now. I love your outfit you put together. Especially that skirt!

Thank you Shira! I loved this look too, and it doesn’t hurt that I had a great time in it.
I love your last few pictures—it’s always refreshing to see style bloggers being themselves and not having to be “perfect” in front of the camera. Also, I’ve never seen that combo of plaid (red+green+cream) before, and I like it a lot better than the red/navy versions that I’ve been seeing everywhere.

This is probably one of my favorite outfits of yours! I love the skirt and the beanie.

So fun! Especially with your hookup with the tickets. And the beanie looks fab.
Adult Swim sounds like a lot of fun! I will have to check it out with some friends next year!
