mud people

I'm back from Austin City Limits and have a pair of mud-encrusted boots to prove it. I had a super fun time with my festival buddy, and though we were waaaaay far back from the stage, seeing Pearl Jam was AMAZING. Here was my ACL outfit:

top:
Vintage slip dress
bottom:
Hue tights
etc:
Star Ling boots
Urban Outfitters belt
Lucky Brand locket


Blogger does this weird resizing thing that makes all my pictures blurry. You can click on it to see a bigger and clearer version of the mud field at the festival. Note the dirty boots. They got much, much dirtier.

Bad news about my date night, though - I got stood up. Basically, I now have 2 play tickets, a date dress, and no date. I found all this out this morning, which was a great welcome back to Houston (the sarcasm's so thick in that last sentence you could slather it on toast). FRUSTRATING. I'll still post what I had planned to wear, though, once I'm calm and collected and not seething with wrath. Happy thoughts!

  1. I'm sorry - that is lame on his part for standing you up! You are probably better off. I know it sucks though. You should take a girlfriend maybe and have a fun dressy girls night and go for some fun cocktails.

    I really love the outfit you wore to see Pearl Jam! Glad to hear you had a great time!

  9. Summerilla - Thanks! I took your advice and invited a good girlfriend out for theatre and cocktails! I think I'll have a way better time with her anyways!

    Anon - Thanks, you better believe I will!

    Pamela - Thanks! Girl's Night Out is a go!

    Tres Tippy - You're welcome! I just love how adorable and Oxford-chic you always look! And you're right that at least I won't be wasting a hot dress on undeserving company, haha!

    Tastymoog - Oh, those boots are a mess, haha! I got most of the mud off, but it still needs a good scrub down.

    Sarah - You're right, I DID get to see Pearl Jam! AHHH! AMAZING.

    Sharon - That wasn't even the worst muddy area, either. It got much sloshier in certain highly-trafficked areas of the park, to the point where my boots kept getting stuck with every step! Totally worth it, though.

    Patina - Thanks, your comment made me so happy! You're so sweet, and you're absolutely right in that I should still have a good time without him. And while I would never wish any harm to anyone, I think getting crapped on by a bird is innocent punishment enough for him!

  10. You are such a gorgeous person, and I know for a fact that he missed out on a great time spent with an awesomely beautiful and stylish girl! BOO for losers!!! Yay for seeing Pearl Jam!

  12. Agree with Tatiana: BOO to that dude. His loss!

    Looove your outfit. I went to Coachella a few years back and had no clue what to wear to these sorts of music festivals--wish I access to your blog back then!

  15. Rosemary - Thanks! What did you wear to Coachella? Did you go to all 3 days? I almost went to Coachella when Rage Against the Machine played, but ended up selling my ticket because I couldn't afford to fly over there. Sigh.

    OneFashionistaDiva - Oh, it's still REALLY warm here, haha! As in, 80+ degrees. I still wear boots sometimes, but it's definitely not comfortable. Come on, autumn!

    Kristin - Thanks! Those boots took quite a beating!
