Some of you may know that I was a Music Education major in college, and so I obviously have a great love for music, but something you may not guess is that Bluegrass is one of my favorite genres! I'm a sucker for all the history, the instruments, the simple but powerful lyrics. I even own two mandolins which I never learned to play properly. Any way, I got to go hear Ricky Skaggs (those fellow Bluegrass lovers know who he is) this past weekend, and this is what I wore:
The concert was amazing, and what was even crazier was Barry Gibb showed up and played with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder! An amazing night that's for sure. I have more candid photos that Ty took that night that I'll try to share with you all later.
Also, can I just say this dress is one of the best summer dresses? It's so festive feeling. I just love wearing it.

Beautiful, I love how you've styled you hair. It's vintage but without too much hassle. Also, great nails! A wonderful pop of colour x
ReplyDeleteOh, you look so lovely! Bluegrass is just fab, I've been getting into more bluegrass & old country tunes as of late, and I've really been loving it. I admire banjo players so! x
ReplyDeleteOh you look beautiful! Amazing how you seem to suit any hair colour.
ReplyDeleteI love bluegrass as well. I used to listen to music non stop, and then sadly in the space of a few months my ipod, laptop and most of my cd's were stolen. After that I just sort of stopped listening to anything, until recently that is. Rediscovering all my old music has been heavenly. Ha ha, I didn't realise what great taste I have!
Oh my goodness that would be so upsetting. I'm glad you're finally getting some music back!
DeleteLovely dress! I have never even heard of bluegrass.. :D Maybe I should civilize myself more.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun!
Great pictures - you look absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour lipstick color is beautiful - just perfect with the earrings.
Which one are you wearing?
Thanks! I'm wearing MAC's Russian Red.
DeleteOh my goodness you look so so very pretty, that dress is simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePerfect for a summer evening seeing your favourite band.

Your hair is adorable, and so is the dress and the concert sounds like a blast!

This is gorgeous! I don't know much about bluegrass, but my best friend and roommate for awhile in college really liked it, and I always loved when she had it on around the house! (especially good for cooking/ kitchen dance parties)
ReplyDeleteI also must tell you that your hair looks so fabulous! I think I am cutting my very long hair off tomorrow (unless I chicken out, I have never had it short)! But seeing your picture make me realize you can still style it in so many cool ways even if its not really long!
Hope you're having a beautiful bluegrass filled summer day!
