Playing Dress Up in the City

My husband and I decided to spend two days in Little Rock to celebrate our fourth anniversary. Little Rock is the largest town in Arkansas, and we were pretty excited to be headed to the "big city".We stayed at a pretty nice hotel in the middle of the city's River Market District, and it was pretty awesome. 

We decided to start walking and simply follow our noses to find the best place to have our anniversary dinner. Of course, I had to dress up a little for the occasion.



Now, to a small-town girl like me, Little Rock is a vibrant, riveting metropolis. Why they've got some of the best restaurants in the state, along with plenty of fun bars, museums, and cool hang-outs, all within a few blocks from one of the most beautiful city parks I've personally ever seen. Seriously, the Riverfront Park is awesome. 

Needless to say, I'm in love with the place. 

I must say though, that if we ever were to move there I would have to step my fashion game up. Many of the local ladies there don't play around. I saw some of the trendiest clothes and some of the highest heels sharing the sidewalks with me. It was heaven, basically. 


We ended up eating our anniversary dinner at a place called the Flying Fish, far from fancy, but some of the best catfish I've ever had. I felt slightly overdressed for this particular restaurant, but I couldn't be happier with our choice.

I felt pretty cute in my floral dress and purple flats. It seemed a little strange to me to wear a purple necklace and purple shoes with a dress that doesn't have any purple on it. I have this annoying nagging voice in the back of my head telling me things need to "match". Whatever. Sometimes I have to tell that voice to shut the hell up.

I felt very much at home walking those fun-filled streets and seeing the sights while wearing this colorful outfit. We had a wonderful anniversary and I can't wait until our next visit to our state capital.
