state fair 2015

"Howdy Folks!"  Welcome to my Texas State Fair post!  I had a BLAST yesterday at the fair with my husband and good friend Amber!  She suggested going this week on her day off, and truthfully I didn't think it was going to happen.  It has been an insane week for me and Chris... lots of changes happening and so much to get done (more on that soon)... so I really didn't think we'd be able to find the time or the funds to make the trek to Dallas.  BUT, we decided to do whatever we could to get things done in the last few days so we could squeeze it in.

Great Texas Food Truck Rally

I say it a lot... I like to eat!  So when my friend Kristina mentioned a LivingSocial deal for the Great Texas Food Truck Rally, we immediately bought tickets.  So Chris and I headed to Dallas on Saturday to meet up with Kristina and her husband and do some food truck grubbin'!

History with a Twist recap

A few weeks ago Chris and I were honored to attend a great Dallas event called History with a Twist.  It was a fabulous 1920s charity event held at Dallas Heritage Village.  Today I wanted to share a few of my photos! (sorry they're not the best quality, I only took cell phone pics)  

I threw together my outfit the day of, just hours before leaving!  So I'm actually pretty impressed with myself for feeling so 20s... especially my hair... which I pulled out of my ass first try after staring at pinterest pics for about an hour.  And it only took me like 2 hours LOL! Hey! Have you seen how much hair I have?

Outfit Art

My style is pretty simple usually.  I like a lot of black and white and I really love pops of bright color!  Many times the bright color is infused throughout my outfit, but today I went black & white all over with my accessories being the only color.
 I've had this shirt for years and I honestly don't remember where I purchased it.  My guess would be Kohls or Target... just playin' the odds ;-) It's one of those super soft t-shirts that you could live in.  And I just love the graphic on the front.... a sassy lady with her handbag.  Looks like she's going shopping to me! And these pants! UH-bsessed! The houndstooth pattern gives the pants a solid look from afar and they are so comfortable and easy to dress up or down.  They are from Stein Mart.  I LOVE Stein Mart because it's like shopping boutiques but with sales and coupons and a much bigger selection.  Every time I'm wearing something extremely unique and people ask where it's from, the answer is usually Stein Mart. 
 The leather bag is Coach and it has become a staple in my wardrobe over the last year.  This bag was a  post-Christmas purchase with gift cards last year.  I went into the Coach store with the intention of buying a neutral leather bag... like black.  Everyone needs a black bag.  Well true to form, as soon as I saw the color, I was done.  This bag's color is "persimmon".  Chris makes fun of me because he called it "salmon" the other day and I corrected him.  (I mean, c'mon, NOT even close to salmon lol... MEN!) But I fell in love with this color and I debated in the store, by myself, for probably an hour.  The poor sales girls didn't know how to help me HA but I finally opted for the bright bag over black.  And surprisingly, it has served as a neutral in my wardrobe.  It just seems to go with everything! Well, except my neons! I love the mix of the orangey-red with the purple suede shoes.  The heels are Guess.
 
 Chris and I had a great time at our first DMA Late Night event!  It's rare for us to venture to Dallas, but we're always up for museums and free events.  It was definitely right up our alley!  Live music, drinks, food, and free art!  I think art gallery events are my favorite because they bring together all of my loves!  And I really enjoy discussing art with Chris.  We learn from each other and get to know a side of each other that doesn't come out every day.  We will definitely be going back!
P.S. THIS HAIR! How much longer can I hold out from cutting it?! I'm sweating over here! ;-)
