A sunset downtown with friends

Last weekend was such a great one. It was full of perfect weather and lots of time spent outside. On Saturday, Eric and I headed out to Founders Brewing to see a few bands play with our friends, Mehre and Eleanor. Eleanor is actually visiting me right now from New Zealand! I've been trying to show her all around Grand Rapids, and we've actually frequented Founders a couple of times now. It's such a great place in summer because they open up all of their garage doors, so you are basically sitting outside, while inside, drinking beer (except no beer for me, ew) and listening to good music.

This is a very typical Tieka-on-a-Saturday-night outfit. I've worn this dress a thousand times while going out. I bought it last summer and it's still one of my favorites. The top is entirely sheer, but I bought a black bandeau to wear underneath. It shows a little bit of skin without being too revealing! And we can't talk about this outfit without mentioning these boots. I am seriously in love. They are from Wolverine's Samantha Pleet collection for autumn 2013! I'm actually hosting a really fun contest right now where you can win a pair of boots (these included!) and a $500 card to purchase any clothing you want from any retailer you want. That's insane.
