Another motorcycle ride, another report from bizarro world…
THE STORY
You guys know that I always get good material when the hubs and I go out on the bike. There are just too many oddities and too much freaky backwoods weirdness around here for me not to see something that makes me think, “Um, what the hell?” I mean seriously, remember chicken camping?
As per usual, we were out in the middle of nowhere and we happen upon this field. I’m talking a pretty sizable field; as in a small herd of cattle would have plenty of grazing room. But are there cows in this field? Groundhogs? Emus maybe? Of course not. That would be too normal. It was filled with these miniature Stonehenge-like structures. Evenly space, covering the entire field, two to three feet tall stone structures as far as the eye could see. Hmmm…sacred cattle burial ground? Druid ritual meeting place? New age hillbilly party spot? Your guess is as good as mine my friends. Something to ponder though, isn’t it?
THE OUTFIT
Of the outfits I’ve shot in the last week, quite honestly, this was not my favorite. But since my other two posts were jeans I figured I should mix it up a bit for ya and go with a non-denim look. The funny thing about this floral slip dress is it’s actually a summer dress and I haven’t yet worn it when the temperature was above 65 degrees. I’m not sure why. Maybe the colors just lean more towards Fall/Winter than they do Summer. Actually, when I posted it on Instagram the other day I referred to it as “Fall florals. The Morticia Addams edition”. Maybe I could wear to the next ritual event at the hillbilly Stonehenge.
THE TIP
A sundress can be multi-seasonal. Layer it under a cardigan or chunky knit or over a turtleneck or long sleeved tee. Replace the sandals with boots and you’re good to go.

Thank you my friend! Have a fabulous weekend. 🙂
Hmm… now you’ve got my mind wondering what that field was for.
Riding is great for unexpected surprises. My favorite two were these: (1) I’m riding out east on Long Island and see the ugliest looking dog on a front lawn. As I get closer, I realize it’s a goat! (2) I’m riding through PA without a plan; just getting home from a long trip out west. Suddenly I see multiple references to groundhogs. Then I see a huge wooden statue of a groundhog and realize I’m in Punxsutawney!
BTW, dresses like this one look good year-round.

Right?! There had to be a reason for it…
I’ve never been to Punxsutawney, but they do have a giant groundhog fetish…lol!
I LOVE this look! The dark floral dress with moto boots is reminiscent of the 90’s girly grunge look, but modernized and mature! I might have to find myself a dress like this so I can copy this look.

Thanks so much Shelbee! It does definitely have a bit of a 90’s grunge edge to it. 🙂

I know…I need to start getting shots of these weirdo things that I see or you all are going to start think I’m making things up…lol!
See, this is another great Bohemian look and I hate to repeat myself but you always layer your cardigans over your dresses beautifully. Love this floral maxi dress. The dark florals are great for this time of the year.
TGIF Debbie!

Thanks Ada!
I love wearing maxi dresses in the cooler months because they keep me warm and I don’t have to shave my legs! I love the cardigan with the dress as well! Thanks for linking up at Favorite Fashion Friday!
Lol…so true! 🙂
I really like this look, the moto boots real add an extra dimension to the dress.
