Things I did while wearing this outfit:

  • Looked for a parking space.
  • Went to work.
  • Ate macaroni and cheese.
  • Picked up my dry cleaning.

Why am I telling you this? To show you why it’s important to me to put so much thought into what to wear. Because picking out my outfit might be the most interesting thing I do all day.

But! The rest of this week, boredom will not be a concern, because I’ll be on a little anniversary vacation in Chicago! So stay tuned for outfit (and non-outfit) pics from the Windy City.  First activity on the itinerary is shopping. That may or may not have been my idea.

Skirt is Everly, purchased recently at Pitaya

Shoes are Bandolino, available on Zappos

If there’s one thing I can say about Indianapolis, it’s that there’s no lack of beer and wine festivals here. I have no problem with this. This weekend I went to the annual Indy Wine Opener. I had a pretty good time, although I could have had more if I weren’t still on painkillers and limited to chewing teaspoons of food with my front teeth. Oh well, I’ll just wait 2 months until the next corporate-sponsored alcoholic extravaganza. And the good news is that I got to wear my new striped dress ($20 at TJ Maxx – pretty sweet, huh?!).

I also think this dress will be great in the fall with tights and boots, maybe a chunky sweater. I’m getting really excited…fall is probably my favorite season for dressing. And even better, I can wear this dress during basketball season when I’m cheering on my Hoosiers!
