Meet Me in Saint Louis

As I mentioned in my last post, I was in the St. Louis/western Illinois region over the weekend. Without further ado, here are some pics from the roadtrip (including outfits, of course).

These are all from Saturday afternoon on Delmar Blvd, a fun shopping and dining area, and home to the St. Louis “Walk of Fame.” I took pictures of some of the stars, including Miles Davis. The statue is of Chuck Berry. And since it was incredibly hot, we stopped for beverages at Fitz’s, where they bottle their own soda pop on site.20120618-082126.jpg

This was my Saturday outfit. There were no plans ahead of time, so I had no idea what I needed to pack. Luckily this worked out, at least in my opinion. Other family members remarked, “Wow, you’re dressed up” and “You know, this is not a fashion show.” To which I replied: “My life is a fashion show.” So there.

Sunday’s outfit had to withstand the ride home. I’m calling this one a success, too, considering these pictures were taken literally right after stepping out of 5 hours in the car. After discovering how comfortable and unwrinkled I was, I got myself a self-congratulatory sandwich…

The only time I had to do photos of this outfit was at 1:00pm, so it was way too bright to get good quality pictures. But I’m doing a post on it anyway, just because (a) I was having a good hair day, and anyone who has a style blog must be a tad bit narcissistic, and (b) I really like the print of this top. It has tiny little birds, but from a distance it just looks like little flecks.

I wore this for a short day at work (casual Friday) and then got in the car for a 5-hour drive to Saint Louis for a weekend with some family. I’ll post pictures from the trip in the next couple days.
