Last week was my husband’s birthday and, to celebrate, we met up with another couple at our local craft brewery. Dressing for that type of occasion can be tricky. The vibe at the brewery can be pretty casual. (I saw a whole group of girls in running shorts.) But it was my husband’s birthday, so I also wanted to look nice. This outfit slides nicely into that middle ground – dressy enough to look special but casual enough to not feel out of place.

Can’t you just see someone wearing this jump into a car on the edge of the woods, hair streaming behind her, to head off into the wild unknown? All under the haze of a perfectly chosen Instagram filter, of course.

While I’ve always loved some of the elements of nautical style (ok, mostly just the stripes), the overall effect is a little too preppy for me. And, as I’ve mentioned before, full on boho isn’t really my style either. But mix them together and you’ve got an outfit that isn’t too much of anything, just the perfect amount of easy summer style.

Every so often, you get invited to a wedding where the vibe just isn’t quite your vibe. We’ve all been there. For me, that’s a country club wedding. Despite having worked at a country club in high school (or maybe because of it), that’s never been my scene. But this outfit says, “I know how to dress for an occasion and still make a statement at the same time.” You won’t be in danger of upstaging the bride, but there’s a good chance you might turn a few heads on the dance floor.
