I wore this to give a presentation to members of Springboard for the Arts and YNPN Twin Cities over at the Icehouse. And let me tell you, presenting in a bar is FUN. (Photo evidence here.) Everyone is relaxed, the atmosphere is casual, and people are much less shy about hitting you with tough questions. Which I love. Q&A is always the best part of my speaking gigs!
Have you ever attended an unusual event at a bar? Something besides live music, like a poetry slam or book reading?

Not quite an event, as it was an ongoing available thing, but the strangest/best bar ‘thing’ I ever saw was this bar in Washington DC that had ping-pong tables. (It was on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives the week after we visited, so foodie types may know the name of it?).
Love it – full of zing and sass! I think you’ve just reawakened my shopping mojo for something powerfully pink. Or more like magenta maybe, but my eyes know what they’re looking for.
I attended a baby shower in a bar. Not kidding. Sigh….
Me too! I thought I would be the only one! Actually, it was my sister’s baby shower and I helped set it up. In our defense, we live in a very rural area and it happens to be a very good central location! And no alcohol was served. Plus, they had/have a really good shuffleboard table.
love the outfit you look great
Wow, this is a fantastic combo! Ka-pow!
This is how I dress pretty much every day, with a necklace instead of the scarf. Love it!
Please teach me how to tie neck scarves like this! What’s this lovely style called, by the way?
Here you go, my dear!

What kind of questions do you get?
Lots about what is and isn’t office appropriate or age appropriate, shopping resources, tailoring recommendations … kinda depends on the crowd!
This is a great outfit- not just for a bar- but it does look office to happy hour worthy. I love the bold but calming effect of this fuchsia and black ensemble. Thumbs up!
