I may not have done better about finding time to post this week, but I did at least do something exciting! While watching the ACMs on Sunday, we decided to see if there were any shows left on the Garth Brooks tour. To our surprise, there were shows in Louisville on Friday night, so we decided to be spontaneous and snag some tickets. (Special thank you to my husband for indulging my whim. He likes the old-school Garth Brooks stuff, but I’m definitely the country fan in our relationship.)

Because everyone likes something new and fun to wear for a night out like a concert, I took the opportunity to finally pick up a new pair of jeans. I’m no stranger to the distressed jean – I worked at Abercrombie all through college. The thing about working there, is that I ended up with a ton of jeans. I have a tough time buying something new when I know I have the same thing that still works, so replacing all those jeans has been an embarrassingly slow process. While I’ve seen rave reviews for the the AG Legging Jean, my bank account can only handle so much spontaneity. I decided to go for the very reasonably priced and equally stylish dark distressed legging jean from Express, and let me tell you, they’re amazing. Perfect fit, super soft, and comfortable enough for the two-hour car ride down to Louisville. I’ll definitely be going back for another pair.

I also picked up this super cute off-the-shoulder top from H&M. It’s part of their Coachella collaboration, so I figured what better way to get in on the off-the-shoulder trend than a collection inspired by music and concerts. It was also an absolute steal at under $15.

Have you ever shopped for a shirt specifically to go with a pair of earrings? Because that’s exactly what I did when looking for a top to wear, I knew they had to go with these squash blossom Baja Drops from BaubleBar. They’re gorgeous and so fun, but I will warn you, they are heavy, so make sure you pair them with these.

(Please excuse my chipped nail polish.) The concert was a 10:30 show, so we stopped by Down One Bourbon Bar in Louisville for a quick drink before attempting the crazy crowds waiting to get into the second show of the evening. They have over 160 bourbons, so I decided to fully embrace our Kentucky night out with a Kentucky Mule – basically a Moscow Mule made with bourbon instead. I love a Moscow Mule, but I’ll definitely be recreating this one at home sometime; it was the perfect combination of bourbon and ginger.

I actually ended up losing an earring back, but luckily I heard my earring go crashing to the floor before the show, so I was able to rescue them to have for future wears. I would’ve been absolutely devastated otherwise. Hence, the no earrings pic.

The show was AMAAAAAZING! We both grew up on Garth Brooks’ music, and he played literally everything we could’ve wanted to hear and then some. Unfortunately, Trisha Yearwood was sick and unable to perform, but he made up for her absence with a solid two-hours of fun and great music. We had such a good time, it was the perfect mini-getaway to take a break from the craziness!

P.S. At least I can tell you some fun new stuff is coming. No trip down I-65 is complete without a stop at the outlet mall, and ours included a crazy sale day at J.Crew Factory. Here’s a sneak peak at skirt and necklace I picked up and cannot wait to wear this week!
