Which is why many of you have already seen my new, adorably speckled shoes on Instagram. For those who aren't following me on Instagram (you should, you know), here they are:

These shoes are so fun. And versatile; you can have a Cruella De Vil moment in them, a Jackson Pollock moment, or a tiny cow moment.
Or, you know, you can just wear them with rolled jeans and a vintage top:
I went for a Journey cover band, also got a Bon Jovi cover
band and a lovely acoustic trio that performed a surprisingly amusing/amazing
Color Me Badd cover.It was fantastic.
What I wore:
I never have any idea what to wear to concerts, but I
figured something neon-adjacent was probably appropriate given the whole
Journey/80s thing.So, I layered a neon
& tan print tank (thrifted) over a white tank (Target) with black skinnies
(Gap Outlet).I added a black blazer
(Gap), which ended up not being worn, a vintage, tasseled cross-body bag
(thrifted), strappy heels (v. old, Nine West) and some jewelry, including some
of my favorite earrings (Betsy & Iya “Hooded Wonder” via Mabel & Zora).

The night started with an acoustic band called Guy Dilly and
The Twin Powers.And they are absolutely
amazing.There are just three of them
and the drummer was my favorite.Her
“drum” was a wooden box that she sat on while playing and she also played a
tambourine (with her foot!) and sang
back up vocal at the same time!She’s
basically my idol. You can see her, and the rest of the band, in this video from a performance in December:
If you ever get a chance to hear this band, do it.They’re great.In fact, you can find out about their
upcoming performances and see more video, here.
The headliners of the night were, as I mentioned Friday, a
Journey tribute band called Stone in Love.They really are amazing and so much fun.They completely encourage crowd participation, which I love, because who
doesn’t love belting out Journey
songs at the top of their lungs? No one
in this crowd, that’s for sure:
After Stone in Love, we were treated to a sort of sneak
preview of one of the newer cover bands in town (there is a surprising amount),
called Steel Horse.They are a Bon Jovi
cover band and their lead singer has an amazing voice.They were still a little rough around the
edges, but it was still super fun to watch and yowl along to:
And that was my Saturday night.
How about you, Reader Friends?How was your weekend?
