A personal style blog. Real outfits only.
When: last Wednesday // Weather: hot // Real life: work
This top has two of my favorite qualities in summer clothing: it’s light, and it’s and colorful. Aaaand I’m now realizing how often my clothing’s qualities are the polar opposite of my own personality qualities. Opposites attract, as they say. Incidentally, this skirt loves skydiving and chit chat.

When: Friday // Weather: warm and cloudy // Real life: Symphony on the Prairie
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.
