the longest day…

and two outfits were required…

the summer solstice roared into chicago yesterday with hot and humid temps and after a day of running errands, i took a bit of rest and then revamped up to go out and listen to some live music…

i finally wore this crazy fabulous hat that i took off of a display head at h&m because it was the last one i could find in the store…it was $10 and i had to have it because i had been looking for a new large brim summer hat for a couple of weeks

while i will just let it flop when i am at the beach, i pinned it back otherwise i would have spent my entire day constantly moving it out of my face…

and because somehow playboy made it’s way into my summer solstice post yesterday, i decided to wear the necklace that i got at one of their events that i attended 

the dress that i wore was actually pretty laid back…just a simple summer dress that was easy and relaxed and perfect for running around town…
dress: old navy | hat: h&m | shoes: gabriella rocha | bag: b makowsky |
watch: anne klein | belt: don’t recall | necklace: gifted | ring: don’t recall |
earrings: forever21

part two of the day and i was off to Sequin for an event that i will post about soon. i got something so fantastic from them, that i can not wait to rock!

then i hit up  rockit chicago to see the knocks and DMC, yes DMC from the famous Run DMC and it was so much fun!

i ran into the sweetheart, ryan of bowtie memoirs. i love his style!

i was with my girl contessa from thinking black girl and my hat made the evening rounds too because i just didn’t have the strength to deal with my hair…le sigh…i can’t wait until it gets out of this growing in stage

and then we were joined by my girl janice of gypset proper
look at how they are squeezin my brim! LOL

the dress i wore, i have had for years…i threw it on over a slip dress from another dress and that was it…in the summer i don’t like to fuss with clothes, well actually i don’t like to fuss with clothes ever…

dress: don’t recall | hat: h&m | shoes: my black flats | belt: don’t recall | earrings: kfleye

all in all a really fun, full day…i love summertime!
