plaid by day, little black dress by night

I wore this little number with two purposes in mind: a.) to look somewhat appropriate at work b.) to be able to leave work and meet up with the boyfriend at an art festival downtown. I've never really pictured myself sporting a plaid shirt quite like this, but once I threw it on, I liked how it was a funky, (albeit grungy) contrast to typical go-to little black dress. 

The fedora on the other hand, because I can't lie here, was a little less organic and more a product of bad hair that morning with little time to fix it. Which reminds me, after looking through some of these past outfit photos, I need to start styling my hair. I swear, I don't always wear it in a messy bun/ponytail. Sometimes, I actually look like I care. Promise. Sometimes. Not all the time. But sometimes. 

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Hope the weekend treats you beautifully with good weather and even better company! I'm off to pick out a red, white and blue outfit (for Weardrobe's weekly contest) and then heading up to Lake Tahoe for some river rafting and BBQ adventures.
