A change from the normal denim jacket (and to find one with sleeves long enough for my arms is saying something).
End of next month (well, next month is technically tomorrow from the time of writing this post), I travel to New Orleans jazz fest – my annual pilgrimage with friends.
Usually I slum around in either airy floor length dresses (shocker) or short dresses with bikini/bandeau underneath and an old hat with shades.
Above are two recent pieces that will definitely get rolled up in the suitcase.
The denim jacket is to wear from tomorrow when NY heats up.
Finally. I can leave the leather jacket at home.

I love the New Orleans Jazz Fest! I went for the first time last year and had a blast. My best friend was living in New Orleans for the year, so I was visiting her. It was great! I love all the HATS people wear down there. They really come in handy too with all the sun. Have fun!

I wanted to try that first dress on by it’s cut too narrow never flattering on me :/ boo! And the crochet one is so cute but am afraid it’s too sheer for me…. I might be in New York this month again. When do you come back/leave? 🙂

I really like that crochet dress on you, it looked so sad on the hanger in the story – who knew?!
I’m so glad the rain is gone, I’m breaking out the denim jacket for today too! It’s the new light denim moto jacket from the GAP, of ll the blogs I follow I think you would appreciate this the most.

hey Karen,
jazz fest is going to be crazy fun this year. i am from and live in NOLA and i will be at the fest as well. i’ll look out for you on the fairgrounds, it shouldn’t be hard to spot a girl with fashion sense in a city that doesn’t take anything seriously except music and food.

Karen says:
Dee – we waited bloody long enough.
Caroline No – you should try and go one year. You’ll be addicted.
Fashion Chalet – you can layer the dress and wear it as a top. I leave end of April.
Lauren – out of all the hundreds? it would be funny if you spotted me.
Dominique – I don’t think I’ve tried that. Ok I will : )
Anon – no I don’t have enough and my name is not Kate.
Thx everyone for the comments!!!!!!!!
