In case you thought burgundy suede was only for fall, turns out it’s not. At least, not when you forget to put your burgundy suede pumps in storage and then realize they go perfectly with your gingham top. Then, burgundy suede is perfect for June. See how easy it is to make up your own rules? Like Katharine Hepburn said, “if you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” She was talking about shoes, I assume.

A lesser known K-Hep inspirational quote: “Bows before bros.”

This past weekend was opening weekend of Symphony on the Prairie (they call it that because it’s informative but sounds classier than “Music in a Field”). I made a chickpea pasta salad with lots of summer veggies, packed up my picnic blanket, a bottle of rosé, and a couple fabulous friends, and listened to Beethoven’s Fifth while watching the sun go down. In other words, I live a really tragic life with nothing to be thankful for.

I usually go more casual for SOTP, but this dress came in the mail the same day and it was so light and summery that I couldn’t wait to wear it. Plus the longer length is perfect for lounging on the ground and reaching repeatedly for the wine without flashing the rest of the prairie. I could easily wear this dress to work too, but the baseball cap seemed like the most obvious way to make it look sportier and more outdoorsy. Yes, this is my version of sporty and outdoorsy.
