Lady in Red

Vest, Dress, Clutch: Loft; Shoes: Steve Madden; Bracelets: Target, J.Crew

I know, I know -- finally, another fashion post just as my blog description promises. For once, I finally had somewhere to go aside from the gym and decided to rise to the occasion with something a little more fun than my usual jeans/t-shirt combination. I went to Showcase Live in Foxboro at Patriot Place to see two cover bands with a friend. We joke because many of our favorite classic rock bands are, at this point, on their way to the retirement home, but a fun (and cheaper) alternative to seeing our favorite geriatric musicians is to check out their cover bands. I saw a Queen cover band and ACDC cover band. Both were fantastic and I had a ton of fun listening to some of my favorite classic rock tunes live -- a rare treat considering the aforementioned ages of the bands, the premature death of the one and only Freddie, and the exorbitant ticket prices (Van Halen's concert tickets are just too out of reach.)

It was a fun event and I made sure to stand out in a sea of primarily black ensembles with a red dress and a faux fur vest that was both PETA-friendly and a little bit rock-n-roll. I kept accessories minimal as that much red can generally do all the talking and pulled my hair into a messy bun for that "I want to look like I'm not trying, but I sort of am" kind of look.
