Jazz in Millennium Park

By
Oops. I forgot to post last Friday. I had the idea that I'd have a ton of time to post and tons of things to post about over the summer. However, I've either been too busy or so boring I have no content. Oh well! I'm sure I'll be getting dressed much more often once I start grad school.

These pictures are from last Thursday in Chicago. We went to see a free jazz band concert at Millennium Park with some extended family. I always enjoy seeing free concerts there. We saw The Decemberists backed by a full orchestra there a few years back and it was amazing.
This concert was wonderfully not super crowded and the music was great. It made me want to pick up my trumpet! Unfortunately I didn't bring one to Illinois with me! And I also never really played jazz music. So there's that.

shorts: forever 21
cardigan: kohls
shoes: ross dress for less

This picture is one of my new favorites. 

Another one of those pictures where I'm creeping on you:

Best friends, family style. With our cousin Elizabeth and with Jeanie, of course.
I <3 them both.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back home in Georgia. I plan on relaxing my last couple weeks of summer. Let's hope that plan works out! Happy Monday!

I love me some jazz! Sounds like a fun time. :) For these reasons do I want to live in a city. There aren't awesome free music events that are actually good in my small town! haha

Ahh jazz is so relaxing and the best!! Looks like you guys had a blast and all of you look totally awesome! Chicago is such a gorgeous place, I wish I could go there someday! Heck, I just wish I lived closer to Atlanta so I could go to different festivals like that for a fun day out on the town. My town is so boring! lol

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

By

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Outfit: Concert Tee, Black Denim Mini Skirt, Pink Tights, and White Converse

Here I am wearing a concert t-shirt again. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever stop wearing them. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't wear them with bright pink tights and white wedge Converse, but really, who knows? Maybe we'll all be dressing like Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century by then. (I can only hope.) And if I really take a look at this outfit, all I need is a colorful vest and I may as well have come off the space station. They really liked vests in that movie. I guess they don't need sleeves when everything's climate controlled? It is, however, not climate controlled outside in Atlanta. These pictures are from a couple months ago but it still hasn't reliably warmed up here yet. Also, my hair is now completely different since I had it chopped off again into an asymmetrical pixie a couple weeks ago.
