don’t know if it’s my age, but what i feel best in for a night out on the town has changed drastically.  during my bar star years, i’d often feel as though i had show skin in order to fit in and look “hot”.  of course now, i feel sexiest by wearing something i’m comfortable and confident in.  it took my a long time to recognize that.

challenged myself to style these jeans last friday evening for a concert at the biltmore.  complimenting the coral with classic black, accompanied by gold and aqua accents.  kept things pretty basic, but (hopefully) still interesting.  the best part?  i was covered up and comfy…it was a win win!

many of you probably don’t know oberhofer.  i knew little of them myself, only one song ‘i could go’ that i’d stumbled upon (video at the bottom).  but, youtube has this lovely new feature where if you’re listening to a band, a little message in the corner alerts you when and where the band is playing in your town!  so i got some friends together and we enjoyed an intimate $10 oberhofer show at the biltmore.  they were awesome live, their entire ‘time capsules II’ album is going to be my summer anthem!  the night ended with a bunch of us dancing on stage while the band played an encore and the entire band came out and partied with everyone afterwards.  definitely a night i’ll never forget! 

for all you lucky ducks going to coachella, they’ll be there and you must go see them!  and for the rest of ya’ll, if you like what you hear in the videos below, you should definitely buy their album!
