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.

As soon as I put this dress on, I knew it was a winner. It makes me feel like a feisty piñata. Some people would just say “festive,” but no. Feisty piñata is a much better description. Except if any kid comes near me, I will fight back. No effing way am I sharing my candy.
