A Perfect Outdoor Concert Outfit
Happy Thursday! Summer means a lot of great outdoor events and gatherings. One of my favorite summertime activities is attending an outdoor concert or performance. Summertime concerts or performances come in a variety of forms. There are small town-type concerts, maybe around a gazebo in your town center. Of course, there are huge, music festivals (though I think my days of trudging through throngs of people, from stage to stage are over). Then there’s my favorite type of outdoor performance – a play or musical. Whether it’s a Shakespeare in the Park type of performance or a Broadway show performed at an outdoor amphitheater, I love to see an outdoor performance! So today, I am sharing a perfect outdoor concert outfit.
The Summary

A Perfect Outdoor Concert Outfit
Sleeveless Jacquard Dress
(J.Crew)
Sometimes you come across a summer dress that is perfect for so many events, that all you need to do is swap out shoes, accessories and maybe a third layer, depending on the event.
This Sleeveless Jacquard Dress from J.Crew is not sold in petites, but the only difference I notice is that the length falls just above my knee, which suits me fine.

The back of this dress has a cut-out, which is a daring, new-to-me style. I quite like it, it’s pretty subtle and it doesn’t interfere with my undergarments.

I decided to go with lace-up heels, which are old, but I collected two similar gladiator-style sandals that would both look great with this dress. Similar Strappy Heels | Similar Heels
My necklace was a gift from Beth from years ago, but I found a similar version with gem and coin charms. Similar Charm Coin Necklace.

I have my Bembien Marfa Bag again today. Its tropical vacation look really helps keep my outfit in a more casual-dressy tone, which feels right for a summer concert or outdoor performance.

Thanks so much for stopping by, Sharon! xo Kelly
I have a black and white dress with a similar pattern, different style. It can get cool in the evening. What would you wear for a third layer?
Hi MaryLynne, I would wear a denim jacket if the event went into the evening. If that feels too casual, maybe a black linen blazer. A black cardigan would also do the trick. Thanks so much for your question! xo Kelly
Hi Kelly
Would you be able to tell me the brand of the heels you are wearing. Sometimes if a couple years old I can still find them.
Thanks
Hi Judi, The heels are Madewell, but they’re from about 7-8 years ago…I wish they’d bring back this style though! Thank you for stopping by, xo Kelly
Kelly, this is darling. You look so relaxed and happy.

Kelly, you look amazing. Love the way that print dress looks on you, love the opening detail in the
back.
Your new hair cut looks very classic.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much, Gloria! I am really loving my haircut, and the keratin treatment I had makes daily hair care and styling so much easier! Thank you for stopping by! xo Kelly
