OOTD: Concert Wear

Fashion isn't really word that fits into my vocabulary. At. All.

And OOTD posts rarely pop up here on the blog. That is mostly due to the fact that I rotate six outfits at work and the rest of the time am either squished into my workout gear or pants free. I don't own the most exciting of wardrobes.

But today I am throwing caution to the wind because sometimes it is fun to do. And how fortuitous that Nicole at Gypsy in Jasper is having a link-up on What To Wear at a Music Festival which is kind of what I am doing today, going to a music festival of sorts-not hosting a linkup.

Oh silly universe, you work in such mysterious ways sometimes.

This evening I am off to a little microbrew festival to see one of my favorite bands, Michael Franti & Spearhead along with some of my favorite people. This will be my sixth Franti show and I can't wait! They always put on a ridiculously fun show.

At some point in my old age, I abandoned any need for looking "cute" at a concert and/or festival and have opted for comfort. There really is nothing worse than standing in the sun for HOURS before shaking your groove thing while your favorite band(s) perform on stage while wearing something uncomfortable.

For tonights festival, of food, beer and music, I'm opting for super causal and comfortable--my favorite shirt, my favorite cutoffs and favorite boots. "Why boots?! Why not sandals?!" you may be asking. I've had too many toes stepped on to go with sandals at a GA show.

And I suppose I must confess, that after taking these photos I will need to readdress my decision to wear these shorts. They have apparently grown in size (or I've shrunk) as they are about two sizes too big and won't stay put. The last thing I need is to be jumping around an inadvertently moon someone.
   

This is my faux-rockstar pose while I try and figure out what Sadie has dug up and is attempting to eat from the compost pile. Oh, the life of a dog owner.


And of course, shades. One can't attend an event like this without their sunglasses. How you doin'?


What's your favorite thing to wear to a concert or music festival?

EDITORS NOTE:
In the spirit of full disclosure, this is in fact what I ended up wearing to the festival!

Do You Mu Mu? Part 2

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I haven't done one of these posts in a really long time, but since I was feeling kind of cute yesterday I figured what the heck! And then I realized I had already done this particular item on the list. Whoops! Hopefully Jes won't mind the double link-up.

I unfortunately do not own an official mumu, but what I do own is a fabulous black dress that was actually referred as a mumu by someone. Because apparently if you aren't wearing something totally clinging to your body it's a mumu. Whatevs.

I am a big time believer is wearing what you love, regardless of what fashion rule is popular at that moment. This dress is one of those things that I love. And if I could wear it every day, I would wear it every damn day of my life and not apologize for it. Putting this dress on makes me feel fabulous. Like I can conquer the world. Or at least my workday or a night out with the girls.

I feel like myself in this dress more than anything else that I own. I feel fierce, independent, sassy and maybe even a little bit sexy.

I think every girl needs a dress like that.


This is me totally strutting my stuff.

Me not strutting my stuff but instead fixing my hair which makes for a semi-awkward pose which is always awesome. 
Can we talk about this necklace?! LOVE IT.                    Ridiculous fact: I love that I have laugh lines.
