What to Wear {Bikes Blues & BBQ}

September 18, 2013February 21, 2014Leave a comment

OK. I know you planned to go out of town and miss all the biker business. But that fell through, didn’t it? A large part of you wants to stay holed up in your house and avoid the countless bikes/bikers altogether. But, you’ve been saving those pleather leggings for a special occasion, so — if you can’t beat them, why not join them?

I met my husband at BBBQ in 2008; and who’s to say Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now isn’t waiting on the steps of the walton arts center to buy you a chili dog and sweep you off your feet?

To me, this look says, I could really be going anywhere…but I just happened to grace the folks at BBBQ with my presence.

shirt dress: thrifted

heels: vince camuto via Plato’s Closet Fayetteville

What I Wore: Weekend Wedding

what I wore: dress – gracia c/o plato’s closet, heels – bcbg, coat – marvin richards (my mother in law gave me this!)

This past weekend, we went South for the wedding of one of Ro’s childhood friends. It was a lovely wedding complete with so many gorgeous flowers that I was tempted to break in later and steal them all. This Gracia dress (which normally costs $120+) was a gift from Plato’s Closet for my feature on them for NWAFW :). Love.

what I wore: dress – BILA, booties – forever21 by way of Plato’s Closet, bow necklace – mae’s, belt – thrifted,

So I found this dress at the goodwill and I knew it would be much cooler if the rather dowdy and wrinkled slip were removed. I did just that, wore another shorter slip and voila!

While I realize your life does not revolve around what I might have worn, I do apologize for leaving you hanging over the holidays. I was ill/traveling/hope you’ll forgive me. Posts probably will be a bit more sporadic as I’m working on some exciting stuff that I will share soon and some not so exciting stuff that I won’t bore you with. Happy 2013 & thank you for visiting.

This jacket is pretty major. I’m very excited about it. The dress is supposed to have a mid-calf hem but I used some hem tape to shorten and really loved the results.
