concerts in the garden

I was so stoked on Sunday evening when the hubs and I were invited to go to Concerts in the Garden with our neighbors! Concerts in the Garden is a summer music series put on by the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra featuring live, outdoor concerts.

Sunday was 1812 Overture performed by the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra. It was so fun! Our neighbors brought along picnic blankets and yummy appetizers from Central Market, along with some wine. Although it was very warm, once the sun went down it was nice and breezy. The concert lasted about two hours. Every concert concludes with a spectacular fireworks show, and Sunday night did not dissappoint! Check out some of my Instagram photos:

Have you attended an outdoor concert this summer? xo.

summer concert style

I went to my very first Dave Matthews concert on Saturday and faced a dilemma most girls can relate to: what should I wear?? 

I went to Marshall's and was thankful they had a great selection. It's hit-or-miss with that place, really. I found a gorgeous flowy tank in a lightweight tangerine fabric--it was perfect! I paired the new top with my trusty dark wash Express shorts and light brown gladiators from last summer [so glad they are still in style.] For accessories, I went for a pair of fun dangly earrings and a small Fossil cross-body cobalt-hued purse.

Below, I've come up with a very similar outfit that I think is a great laid-back yet classy summer look that's appropriate for other twenty-somethings like myself. The cobalt blue pendant is to die for--I think I need to get one asap! A small purse is a stylish and practical way to tote the bare necessities and a bright summer blanket to sit on is a must for lawn seating.

What do you think of this summer concert look? xo.
