It’s sort of a given that if you’re in your 20s-30s, and it’s a Saturday in May or June, you’ll find yourself at a wedding. Except… most of my friend were apparently early settle-downers, because it’s been ages since I’ve been to a good love party. Luckily I practice my chicken dance on a regular basis, so it wasn’t too hard to get back in the swing of wedding-going for my brother-in-law’s nuptials last month.

I rented a couple different dresses from Rent the Runway and as soon as I put this one on, I knew it was the winner. It pretty much screamed “SPRINGTIME,” it was comfy (no bra needed), and it was special but not stuffy. And if you want my advice, the key to wearing a fancy dress and not letting a fancy dress wear you is: add elements that are a little less fancy or even – dare I say – rock n’ roll. Like black studded sandals and a plain ol’ ponytail, instead of metallic heels and an updo.

Fun fact about me: I have a freaky talent for finding four-leaf clovers. I used to find them all the time as a kid. Even if I wasn’t trying to find them – I could just be walking along, glance down, and oh! There’s one! This is not a joke. It happened multiple times.

As an adult, I haven’t really added much to my clover collection. Maybe because my eyes are farther from the ground now than they were when I was 10 (but only slightly). Or maybe because I live in a city so there’s less green in my environment, or (most likely) I’m just a boring grownup with too many responsibilities who’s forgotten how to feel fulfilled by doing things that aren’t “productive.”

Last weekend we took a walk around Broad Ripple Park and there were tons of clover patches, so I decided to get reacquainted with my inner child, and whaddayaknow, I’ve still got it! Found 2 lucky clovers in about 15 minutes of searching. Not gonna lie, it was pretty fun. 🙂

So consider this my way of encouraging you to do something pointless that brings you joy. Good luck.
