Sheath Dress & Sandals

Another day, another blue dress. I realized recently I have a lot of blue dresses. But I also realized that I really love the color blue, and I also really love dresses. And there’s nothing wrong with having extras of things you like, right? That’s the point of a baker’s dozen. Thirteen cookies is always better than twelve.

This particular blue dress came into my possession thanks to LuckyB Boutique, an adorable shop here in Indianapolis (in Broad Ripple, for you locals). Now that I have more than a baker’s dozen worth of readers, I’m excited to use my immense popularity to draw attention to local businesses. If you live in the Indy area, be sure to check out LuckyB! I feel like a big ol’ dummy for not knowing about it sooner. And even if you don’t live around here, no worries – they’re online too.

I’m excited to wear this dress with heels and an updo, but because I’m totally impatient with new clothes, I just had to take for a spin at work in a slightly more demure fashion (I wore the cardigan most of the day).

Indianapolis is a pretty special place to be on the Sunday before Memorial Day. Every year tens of thousands of people come here to see the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. It’s 200 laps totaling 500 miles, taken at speeds well over 150mph.

The drivers come from all over the world to participate in one of the most prestigious events on the IndyCar calendar. And you can’t blame them because the winner gets a pretty sweet cash prize, plus a free jug of milk. This year, Tony Kanaan from Brazil won the race. It was his 12th time in the race but his first win. Good job Tony!

So obviously, you can guess where I was yesterday…

…I was at the Indiana State Museum to see the Eternal James Dean exhibition.

What, you think I want to stand in line for hours, then cram into the bleachers with a bunch of drunk people and watch cars drive around in circles? Puh-lease.

So I decided to go with an equally Hoosier activity, but more classy. In case you were not aware, James Dean hails from Indiana. Incidentally, I learned from the exhibition that James was a big fan of the Indy 500 and car racing. Unfortunately, his passion for driving didn’t turn out too well, but we won’t dwell on that. Instead, how about this fun fact: James had some really random hobbies like conga-drumming and bull fighting.

Also, he was super hot. Honestly, I don’t know why you would want to look at pictures of me right now when you could go watch Rebel Without a Cause instead, but just in case, here’s what I wore. You can also see a couple more photos on Instagram.
