So I guess this is my version of a Coachella style post. I wore this to a festival and got muddy (as you can see from my poor shoes), which is about as close as I’ll get.

I have zero interest in ever going to Coachella – I think I’ll stick to the smaller but still fun Indiana festivals. The people might be older and fatter, but at least they’re mostly fully clothed. This is what I wore to an art festival in my neighborhood. I wasn’t a big fan of the mud factor, but it poured down rain all day, and then suddenly the sun came out so we took advantage of it. I had my umbrella in case it rained again, but I ended up using it to protect my oh-so-delicate white skin from UV rays because I forgot sunscreen. Not gonna lie, I felt very chic with my yellow parasol. I think parasols need to make a comeback!

I like to keep my hair blond so I look sweet and angelic. It makes it more impactful and surprising when I drop some sarcasm. Cute floral dresses help too. I tend to have a pretty surly expression most of the time, so without these measures I would probably look and sound like a serial killer. Which I’m not. (Or am I???)

Speaking of jokes about murder, if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t find that completely inappropriate, you should probably be listening to the podcast My Favorite Murder. It’s been around for about a year now, so if you start at the beginning you’ll have commute entertainment for weeks! You can thank me later. Unless you dislike true crime, the F word, and women who go on tangential rants about the patriarchy…then you probably won’t thank me.
