Happy Monday! I have had a crazy last 10 days, but I am finally rested and ready for a new week. After Austin, I had another trip to Phoenix for work, (which happened to be hotter than Texas), and we had an hour to kill before our flight back so we stopped at the mall across from our hotel. We wandered into Old Navy and they had the cutest pieces! I grabbed this tank that says ‘You had me at Merlot’ and thought it was perfect to wear to the Texas State Fair the next day!
If you have known me at all in the last couple years, you know that I’m a pretty big fan of wine. In addition to the cute saying, the tank also happened to be my favorite color of the season. I styled this Merlot tank two ways below. One with jeans and moto boots, and the other with shorts and the leather sneakers I got at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It was in the 90s on the afternoon we went to the Fair, so I needed something cool! We wandered around all afternoon and into the night, ate way too many fried foods, played games, rode rides, and then my middle school dreams came true and we saw Nelly!
Have you ever had a fried brownie? It was amazing, and probably would go well with some Merlot, but I paired it with a corn dog and funnel cake and wondered for the millionth time how I’m not 400lbs. Fair games are fun, if you win! I threw balls popped balloons, broke plates, and won some silly stuffed animals! I had my eye on the unicorn and even beat Kale at the water gun game to win it! I’m pretty competitive. I had a great time and this tank was super soft and breezy in the heat!
It looks like you had a great time! I love the wine color of the shirt. It’s perfect with your skin tone and both ways you styled it are adorable. We’re headed to the mall today, I may have to stop in to Old Navy!
Looks like so much fun! I am all about burgundy right now!
I think half of the last few things I have bought for fall are this color, and the rest are grey!
I love that top and those boots! Perfect look for the fair!

I hope Old Navy has that shirt because I absolutely love it! Every year we have a fair that comes to our neighborhood and it’s so much fun! I’m always tempted to try the deep-fried Twinkies, but then reality sets in
I have it linked here you can always order online 🙂
Omg just loving the top! That burgundy color has been a favorite of mine this season
Forget the wine! Nelly!!!! I’m sure you had a great time at the state fair. We go to ours each year as well.
