I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve seen a buttload of “festival style” features on blogs and on the interwebs in general recently. Spring time is Coachella fever time, apparently. As of last year, Indianapolis does have a music festival, but it’s in the fall, and it’s probably nothing like Coachella.

So when H&M asked me to style a “festival look” to support their H&M Loves Music campaign, I decided to put my own real-life spin on it. A spin that doesn’t involve frolicking around the desert with a bunch of millennials who are inexplicably dressed like they’re at Woodstock.

My version of a fun springtime excursion with sweet tunes? Having a picnic date on the grounds of the Indianapolis Museum of Art (with sangria, of course), with music playing from an iPhone. It was a pretty great weekend study break, and more importantly, a good excuse to wear a breezy dress and a cute hat.

“I don’t really like talking about my flare.”

Office Space fans? Anyone? It’s late and I can’t think of anything funny to say so I figured I’d just quote a funny movie. Jennifer Aniston was talking about “flair,” not “flare” but…close enough.

I practically forgot that flared jeans were even a thing, but according to bottom of my closet, they were. Even though skinny jeans seem to have taken over, I don’t think flares will ever really be outdated. And even if they are, we’ll just say they’re retro. Problem solved.
