Sniff, Swirl, Sip

If there’s one thing I can say about Indianapolis, it’s that there’s no lack of beer and wine festivals here. I have no problem with this. This weekend I went to the annual Indy Wine Opener. I had a pretty good time, although I could have had more if I weren’t still on painkillers and limited to chewing teaspoons of food with my front teeth. Oh well, I’ll just wait 2 months until the next corporate-sponsored alcoholic extravaganza. And the good news is that I got to wear my new striped dress ($20 at TJ Maxx – pretty sweet, huh?!).

I also think this dress will be great in the fall with tights and boots, maybe a chunky sweater. I’m getting really excited…fall is probably my favorite season for dressing. And even better, I can wear this dress during basketball season when I’m cheering on my Hoosiers!

Bragging Rights

Take note: this outfit will go down in history as what I was wearing the day I made law review! If you don’t know what that means, read this. My law school has 3 journals, and I got invitations from 2 of them, the Health Law Review and the International and Comparative Law Review. I just have to decide which one to accept, but I’m leaning toward the latter. As part of membership this coming school year, I will have to write a huge research paper on a topic of my choice. I would love to write on a subject that really interests me, and I think I would have more opportunity to do that with the International and Comparative Law Review.

OK, sorry! Enough about my nerdy side. On to the clothes:

Sorry for all the coy, face-behind-the-bangs poses. The sun was shining in my eyes and I left my sunglasses in the car. This belt is new, and it is the prettiest color of mint green. I mean, I know the mint green trend is freakin’ everywhere right now, but there are lots of different shades. This belt is by far my favorite. I wore it against black so that the bright color would stand out even more.

Oh, and just one more non-fashion-related thing to show you: When I was posing by a tree, I made a new friend! It’s this freaky yet kind of cool-looking insect. It was probably close to 2″ long!
