Picnic

SEERSUCKER SOCIAL

this year marked the 4th Annual Seersucker Social and my second year in a row in attendance for the fancy ride through Atlanta’s hilly streets! dressed in our finest Southern duds, bike baskets loaded with blankets, food and drinks we peddled, waved to cars and jammed to swing jazz for about 7 miles before setting up a picnic area in the Historic Oakland Cemetery!
take a look into one of my favorite events-

packed and ready to RIDE!
check out Cole’s super nifty ‘picnic table’ on-the-go that you simply pressed into the ground, came in handy for all of our fancy glasses!

meet Kwanza Hall a city councilman representing District 2, we met while I was working at Fastsigns and helped him print up some campaign signs many years ago. he came along for the Social riding his brightly colored fixed gear and rode the whole time wearing a blazer in 90 degree Southern heat! I asked “how in the world are you still riding with that on?!?!” he said “I’m just keeping it cool” per usual might I say, he’s changed the way I think of politicians!

two new pieces here:
the shorts i picked up at UO recently when on a search for comfy bottoms, and what a success-the print is everything this mix-n-matching girl could ask for! also the picnic basket that doubles as a cooler is new and it’s already come in handy with this weekend’s Alabama road trip!
other outfit details: top: Urban Renewal, sunnies: vintage, hat: H&M, sandals: (very old) UO
officially feeling like its Summer with 100 degree temperatures, bbqs, fireworks and lake floatage-
Happy 4th of July!
