Blister In The Sun

Every year I struggle with what to wear on Fair Day. The outfit must be comfortable in both heat and cold, have comfortable walking shoes, a manageable bag with extra room and still be stylish enough that I feel good in it. This years effort...

Every year we try a couple of the fried delights on offer. This year he tried friend salsa and I had the sweet potato praline poppers.

I was just wondering what you'd been up to this morning!

Aside from the fact that you look AWESOME (I love this outfit), you've inspired me to wear my floral docs I've had since 1996 today. :)

Is it safe to say that you hand your check over to Buffalo Exchange when you get paid?

Looks like fun at the fair. I've never been to the State Fair:(

Hello! First time reader here, and I was just wondering--do you work at Buffalo Exchange? Because that might explain a lot. I moved from Austin to Iowa City last year and I really miss having a Buffalo around!

You look SPECTACULAR and I've missed you.

Also, that day looks like a lot of fun. :)

I hear ya - fair day is a complicated thing to dress for. I did short dress too. I added some bicycle shorts underneath for extra walking comfort :)

Love your bag and your whole outfit so much. The docs look great with the floral dress. It's so fabulously 90s but updated and fresh and chic. Which, as a teen of the 90s is probably why I'm in love. (it's very Janeane Garofalo circa Reality Bites. Love love love.)
