The only thing I did on Sunday when I wore this outfit was meet someone for coffee at Starbucks (hi, Rachael). She was apparently very impressed at how put-together I looked for a Sunday morning. Lest you all think I spent more than 15 minutes getting ready for coffee, let me set the record straight: this put-togetherness is all an illusion.

I got my hair done the day before, so that’s why it looks pretty cute – I hold curl well. And there’s something about wearing all black that comes across as chic no matter what. As for the shiny shoes, I just picked them because the tips of my toes were still sore from dancing in heels the night before, and with a pointy-toed flat, there’s no toe/shoe contact.

There you have it. Now you know all my secrets.

Fun fact: Indianapolis is home to the largest children’s museum in the world. The only bad thing about the museum is that there are always a bunch of children there. Go figure. But in 2013, Adult Swim Indy was born. On this one night of the year, they open the museum up to adults only. Tickets are pricey because it’s a fundraiser, but thanks to the generosity of a friend (whose dad is a sponsor of the event), I got to go last year and again this past weekend.

It is…so. much. fun. Picture 2500 drunk grownups hula hooping and riding a carousel. There are tasty food samples from local vendors (beer cheese soup has changed my life), a DJ, and a drum circle surrounded by dinosaur skeletons. You can see a few photos from the night on my Instagram feed.

As an added bonus, Adult Swim has become sort of fashion show too! I think people really take advantage of the chance to wear something different from what they would wear on a typical weekend. I don’t know if you knew this about me, but I quite enjoy an excuse to put together a fun outfit, and this is what I came up with! I figured as long as I’m going to be at a children’s museum, I might as well act like a child and insist on wearing all my favorite things at once: plaid, leather, ankle boots, fun jewelry, red lipstick, and an unexpected hat that clashes with everything else. I’m a big girl…I’ll do what I want.
