I wore this yesterday to go to a bridal shower. Typical summer Sunday activity, right? Except that this one took place at what I can only describe as a 1970s Gatsby mansion. I had no idea a place like this existed in Indianapolis, but it does. There are columns all over the place, a pool in the back, crazy awesome art and antiques everywhere, and lots of chairs that leave you wondering whether you’re actually supposed to sit in them or not. The people who own the house are named Fortune because of course they are. I don’t know how to fully describe this place, but you can see a few photos in my Instagram feed.

Anyway, after a lot of oohing and ahhing, I had to go back to the real world. Conveniently, the Gatsby home was close to the 100 Acres Art & Nature Park (which I recommend if you’re in the Indy area), so we walked off the bellinis there and snapped these photos. I felt like I looked pretty cute, but it’s hard not to feel a little inadequate when you wear a $20 dress to a zillion dollar home.

Get ready to be MAJORLY impressed. Ready? Good.

#1. I saw this top at J. Crew when it was new. I liked it but it was like $70 for what is essentially a novelty tee. I passed on it. Willpower = impressive.

#2. Fast forward 2 weeks. The J. Crew sale was on sale, and this top was marked down to $17. Major sale score = impressive.

#3. I dropped a Gene Kelly musical reference in this post title. Finding a way to connect a little ol’ outfit post to the greatest performer of all time = impressive.
