Somewear: Billy Bob’s Honky Tonk!

Oh snap!  That’s right Virginia- there is a Santa Claus and now apparently there’s a place Santa can go post Christmas blues where he can get his fill on barbeque, square dancing, bull riding, and good ole country music!  Ok, ok, ok so I guess Billy Bob’s is not some “new” place here in Texas, but it is news to me!  I hear it’s been around longer than even Merle Haggard has been alive (that’s a country pun incase you didn’t know).  Anyway, get your gasps out now, because I will be going there this Saturday night to partake in all my favorite Texas activities (note sarcasm please).  Even though this joint is way outside my comfort zone, I’m going to embrace it and dress the part (with my own southern flair- of course)!

Somewear: Switzerland Mountain Farm

Not sure what kind of “farming” is done on this mountainous wonderland, but I want to go to there.  Not to be a farmhand, obviously, but perhaps to just picnic nearby, eating Swiss cheese and chocolate.

Where to Wear: Candy-Colored Denim

 

Bright denim can be fun, but it’s usually not appropriate for work and in the sweltering heat of the summer it’s hard to imagine where you would find the right occasion to sport these vibrant threads.  Well, fret no longer, because I’ve figured out just the spots where these jewel-tone jeans will fit in flawlessly!
