Mr. S is obsessed with cars. Cue confession time: I like cars too – vintage cars, fast cars, exotic cars, muscles cars, even cute cars. {You may have seen my Instagram pics!} So, Mr. S and I went to ‘Cars and Coffee‘ this weekend to check out some amazing automobiles. There was a lot of engine revving, coffee drinking, and photographing. Don’t worry, I didn’t get ‘Fast and Furious’. No hot pants for me!

If you’re expecting drifting, loud music, scantily clad ladies, or a ‘Fast and Furious’ gathering, then you would be disappointed. What you will find are car enthusiasts, sometimes with family in tow, appreciating the vast array of cars and chatting it up about anything related.
Here’s my prescription for staying stylish if you attend a Cars and Coffee {in case your significant other is as gaga about cars as mine}:
- The asphalt gets hotter as the day progresses so keep it simple but chic with a sundress. My khaki dress has been a great staple because it’s a neutral color, simple cut, and thick stretchy cotton.
- If you have long hair, consider wearing it up ie. chignon, pony, or bun. This will save you the hassle of sweaty hair sticking to your neck as what happened to me here.
- Bring a cardigan to cover up for the freezing air conditioning inside. This linen cardigan I’m wearing is perfect for summer.
- Wear comfy shoes. I prefer wedges for summer.
- Don’t forget the sunscreen and sunglasses!
- Grab your camera/ smartphone so you can take a bazillion pictures of cars! :)
I got my JCrew cardigan for $20.99 so you may want to check in stores also.
Hope y’all are enjoying the weekend!! I’m up late again because of the Olympics. I’ve concluded it going to be a sleepless couple of weeks. Happy Weekend Y’all!!
