H&M Jean Jacket, Issho Striped Tank, Forever 21 Ring, BDG Jeans, Vintage Boots

This weekend, I gained a whole new appreciation for movies that feature song/dance routines that take place on wobbly bleachers (Grease and 10 Things I Hate About You come to mind). Nevertheless, when I spotted these empty grandstands, I envisioned happily bounding up and down the flights and then realized the only rendition of “Summer Nights” I’ll be singing will be in my shower.

    GREAT boots … I’m eyeing some similar Frye ones. Also, I really heart stripes, especially black/white or navy blue/white ones! Your outfit is “out of this ballpark.” :)

    Your boots are awesome. And I hate bleachers! I’m a super clumsy person, and I’m always afraid I’m going to hurt myself on them.
