The Streets of Music City















To end off the summer, I went on a bit of a road trip to Nashville, Tennessee. I was really struck by how up and coming the city is. I thought it would be kind of traditional and old-fashioned, but Nashville is becoming modernized and is growing at a fast pace. Even if you don't like country music, there is so much to do and see there. That being said, live music is definitely a highlight. In basically every restaurant and bar down Broadway (the main drag downtown), you can pop in to hear up and coming musicians. I thought that country music was all the same, but I was definitely proven wrong. There was so much diversity in sound, vocal range, set lists, and style in the musicians I heard- all of whom were fantastic. The food was also absolutely amazing. There, I again was surprised. It wasn't just good ole' country fried food but a whole range of gourmet, fresh, local dishes in such fun and quirky settings.

If you know me then you know I love rompers. They have all the ease and cuteness of a dress without the possible dangers (read: bending down). I don't have to watch the way I'm sitting or fear the wind when I'm wearing a romper, and I love it. This one gave off slightly country vibes with its diamond shaped print so I thought it would be perfect for the southern city. As usual, I kept everything else rather minimal with my natural sandals from Forever 21 that I've featured in past posts. I swiped on a coat of Topshop lipstick in Rio Rio. It's a great shade of orange-red for newbies to bold lipstick, and is surprisingly subtle.
