Skirt Goals

When: last Friday of August // Weather: warm and sunny // Real life: work, then Michael Jackson cover band concert

I got this skirt because (1) I love yellow, (2) I love midi skirts, and (3) Nicole from Writes Like a Girl has this skirt and she’s a great style role model if there ever was one! I will probably never be as outgoing and genuinely positive as Nicole, but I can at least dress like her. She’s probably the kind of person that when you go shopping with her, she picks out all kinds of cool things for you to try on, and then she tells you enthusiastically how amazing you look. On the other hand, when you go shopping with me, I say “meh” to the first 5 things you pick out, get bored, then wander off to do my own thing. I’ll meet you at Starbucks in 45 minutes. (But Nicole, if we ever get to meet in person and go shopping, I promise I won’t abandon you.)

So Long, Sweet Summer

When: August 16 // Weather: hot // Real life: Indiana State Fair

Save

Have you ever wondered what those angsty bands you listed to in high school and college are up to now? The answer is: they’re playing at Midwestern state fairs.

And have you ever wondered who goes to see, say, Dashboard Confessional and the All American Rejects at, say, the Indiana State Fair? The answer is ME, and a few hundred other 20- and 30-somethings who want to relive the early 2000s. And to celebrate the good old days when I was too young to have cellulite, I wore short shorts 🙂

I realized once I got there that I really don’t know that many Dashboard or All American Rejects songs, but I sure did scream along to the ones I knew. I’ve been working a lot and being oh-so-adult lately (hence the sporadic blogging), so an outdoor concert to remind me of my more youthful days was definitely a great way to soak in the last full month of summer.
