I wonder what appealed to me about this dress? I'm not a fan of horses or shirtdresses...how odd. I'm always drawn to a quirky print though, so it was fun to wear. It was well made & lined...with pockets. This was too big on me, but oh so comfortable...even in the proper size, it is meant to be loose fitting. If I am ever dragged to Medieval Times, I know just the dress to don as I cheer on our knight. 

I decided to play up the gold in the dress with my accessories & shoes.

Classic red lip, neutral eye make-up...& my metal jewelry so often gets passed over for more colorful selections...it's nice to see it. 

My make-up with this outfit included...NYX eyeliner in Deep Blue, Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, UD lipliner in 714, Spiderweb lipstick by UD, & OPI nail polish in A Kiss on the Chic. 

I enjoyed the Spyhouse coffee I had in Minneapolis so much, I ordered a few bags. I was unsure which coffee Jason & I had been served, so I tried calling the store & the man who answered asked who had waited on me...was it a fabulously dressed gay guy (obviously talking about himself)...which I found hilarious & was sad to have to say no. I split the bags with Jason as a thank you for driving & was interested in our differences of what our favorites were. I liked Bold & The Beautiful, while he preferred Osmin Reyes...we were probably given Orion as it's their signature blend...but no matter...they were all amazing. Me cooking dinner...Yogurt-Crusted Lamb Chops with Charred Lemon & Sesame from Alison Roman, served with Charred Cabbage with Salty Peanuts & Nuoc Cham from Molly Baz. 

I wore this outfit to see Christian Lee Hutson open for Bright Eyes. I've never been more than a casual fan of Bright Eyes, but I adore Christian Lee Hutson. I think I was introduced to him because Spotify thought I'd like him...& I do! His voice reminds me a bit of Elliott Smith. 

Bright Eyes put on a decent show...it would have been better if Conor Oberst hadn't been drunk/high...but from what I read online, that is typical. My necklace has a picture of Shane in it & it kept opening during the show...I guess he must have liked it & wanted to watch with me? The next day...the final indoor market with David...stocking up on pork from Cliff of Rockwell Ridge.

I like a variety of sparkling water flavor options...the only time I go into Woodmans. And another delicious dinner...both recipes from Cook This Book by Molly Baz: Crispy McCrisperson Chicken Thighs with Herby Peas & Fennel served with Caramelized Fennel with Parmy Frico.
