Day Six | Fall Fashion Week

I am so sad that Fall Fashion Week is almost over. This week flew by, but I've had a blast looking at everyone's outfits. (although I still haven't made it through all the links for each day.. so many!) Still time to join or check out the other bloggers on Emery Jo's blog.

Day Six: Happy Nevada Day! One of the days this weekend is Nevada Day. {its complicated, normally its on Halloween, but they started celebrating on the last Friday of the October instead} I've lived in Nevada my entire life, and so I've never really thought about the fact that we have a state holiday. All schools and state offices take the day off and on Saturday there is always a parade. But apparently, most states don't have their own holiday. There is no California Day or Texas Day {is there?}. But we do, and we celebrate!

As I kid I grew up watching the parade in Carson City each and every year. Then in middle school I was in the marching band {major geek, played the flute} so I had to march in the parade. But I started watching less often as I got older until these past few years I haven't gone at all. I figured I wouldn't today either. Until my hubby called me from his dad's house and told me I should come down and join the fun. {they were going to breakfast, but there were lots of people and parade floats and he thought I'd enjoy hanging out with them.} I, however, was still in my undies, in bed, contemplating sleeping just a little bit longer {it was already almost 10am}.

A half hour later I was dressed and weaving my way through a crowd of people to walk to the cafe inside the nugget casino. We had to cross through the parade, so Jeff gave everyone his best princess wave, and everyone cheered. After breakfast we headed to a family friend's new karate/dance studio right on main street. They let us go up on the roof to watch some of the parade, and I couldnt get enough of the neighbooring building's walls. Unfortunately, I did not have my tripod {left it in the car} but I did have my camera. Jeff played photographer for most of the shots and then my battery died. {want wont}
Did I mention it was freezing today?! And here's a picture of my lovely hubby!


Details: Getting ready in 30 minutes meant skipping the shower, and not washing my hair. So I pulled it into a sloppy pony-tail with a simple headband {the headband is black so you really can't see it, plus my hair is tucked into and wrapped around it}
The flats are my favorite! Unfortunately they are old and completely worn in. The bottoms have split in half and are held together by packing tape. {does anyone know any other product I could use to fix them?}
The scarf I found on clearance at target. Its quirky, and adds the perfect splash of color.


Jeans: Same jeans as day two {I really really love these jeans.}
Black long sleeve shirt: Brand I don't recognize from Ross/Marshalls
Jacket: Target, 5+ years ago. It can be really cute/dressy, or it has an attachable sweatshirt type hood that buttons in and makes it cute/casual/warmer {like today}
Pink Polka-dot Scarf: Target clearance
Black Flats: Ross or Marshalls

Outtakes: Jumping off a ledge, husband operator error, and silly faces {my husband loves this picture... ha!}


Happy Nevada Day any of you who live in Nevada!
