I have consistently driven past this retro drive-in diner, Superdawg, and said, “I need to go there!” So when the bf suggested we go, I was on board. Actually, I believe I said, “Gah! Best day ever! Yes!” …what can I say, I’m enthusiastic about retro diners. Anywho, I believe I was slightly overdressed for the event (if there is such a thing), but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Superdawg is where it’s at if you’re in the area and looking for a fun and delicious flashback meal. Be sure to overdress for the event too.

Fashion Huntress tips:
1) There’s often a question of whether one can pair denim with denim. I love how popular denim with denim has become. So my answer is a strong yes!! I often wear light denim with dark denim when if wear it together. However with this look, I wore light denim with light denim and added a dark sweatshirt. The result was a seriously comfortable weekend look.
2) I’ve often questioned sweatshirts at work. They can be exceptionally tricky to style in a conservative work environment. Generally speaking, I think sweatshirts should be reserved for the weekends. If you’re on the fence, you can try out a formal sweatshirt that is solid color (not heather) with some detailing. Overall, though, this is one trend that I think should probably be resolved for outside of work wear.
Does anyone else feel differently about sweatshirts at work? Have styling ideas? I hope everyone had a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Looks like fun! Intriguing weekend styling!
Wow! It looks like you have been incredibly lucky at the Gap! I love this outfit, those pants are so fun! 🙂
I love the outfit, you look so cute!!! Seriously I can’t say this enough….you find the best deals “EVER”!!!!
🙂 thank you!! I feel the same way about your cooking!! 🙂
Love denim on denim. I stay away from sweatshirts at work unless they are a solid and can be dressed up with a blouse underneath.
Wow I love that print on the sweatshirt 😍 and I agree about no sweatshirts to work. I recently bought one and though we can wear casuals to office on friday I wore it and realised it was more casual than they meant and so changed into something else! 😜
That’s happened to me before too!! 🙂
Lovely!! I agree to limit sweatshirts for casual outside work wear
Retro diners are so much fun!! Fun pics x

Retro diner – count me in! 😀
LOVE those jeans and the scarf!! Also, how do I still own nothing denim apart from jeans?! A shocking oversight on my part.
I am pretty sure I have seen some – dare I say – “nice” sweatshirts on anthropologie’s website… They might be classy enough for work. But generally I totally agree with you. I haven’t actually purchased a sweatshirt in years. I just go the sweater route as they seem more versatile. 😀

Idealism never goes out of fashion
That’s a good point! The Anthro versions seem to be a little dressier, but agreed, they aren’t very versatile no matter where you get them!
Love the first photo! Superdawg looks like such a cute retro drive-in, reminds me of the old A&W drive-in fast food restaurants…Not sure if you guys have A&W (fast food restaurant chain) in the US? Don’t remember seeing any when I’ve been cross-border. Anyhow, great colour and detail on your sweatshirt. Perfect weekend look.
