Pin to Real Life Guest Blogging

Today I’m taking a day trip to Nashville, Tennessee!

OK, not exactly. But I am doing a guest post for Nashville blogger Jessica at My Here & Now Life! Jessica is that classy broad on the left, and I used her outfit as inspiration for another Pin to Real Life outfit post. Head on over to Nashville (via the interwebs) to see more!

Pink Drinks & Pleats

Are you dying over how perfectly this dress goes with the wall art in the background? Because I am. I wore this dress a couple weeks ago for a weeknight date (I actually wore the same thing to work that day, but I had the cardigan buttoned up, and no belt or clutch). We had dinner at Sabbatical in Broad Ripple, which was fantastic, and on the way back to the car we saw this wall on the side of a diner or something. So no, I didn’t actually drink a pink milkshake or whatever that’s supposed to be, but if I had, this would have been a great dress for it, no?

Unfortunately, if I ever do wear this dress again – for pink drinking or anything else – it won’t have these cute pleats in it. Why? Well because sometimes you don’t know how to eat nachos like a lady and you spill on yourself and then you wash your dress because the tag says you can wash and dry it but it doesn’t tell you that if you do wash and dry it then you will wash out all the pleats but only half way so it really just looks like a very evenly wrinkled dress. This is why we can’t have nice things.
