Sequins and Sea Breezes: The Great American Pastime

The Great American Pastime

7/15/2015


Happy humpday loves! It's definitely no secret I'm a huge sports fan...mainly football but being a girl originally from Cincinnati, baseball holds a special place in my heart as well. I'd much prefer to watch a baseball game in person but with the All Star Game being in my hometown last night I felt like I had to watch. We definitely had our "shining" moment on Monday night when Todd Frazier won the Home Run Derby but it was still awesome getting to watch some of the best baseball players of the year play in my team's stadium. And seriously, how gorgeous is this stadium?

So maybe I'm a bit biased... just kidding, I'm not. ;)

I've only gotten to go to Great American Ballpark once since it was built after I moved but I loved every minute of it even though we lost. I can't wait to go back and experience it again.


When I went I of course rocked my Cincinnati Reds sparkly tank top and shorts (because August in Cincinnati is hot y'all) but I decided to share with you a few looks I'd love to sport during my next Reds game!

Reds - Sporty

Reds - Flirty

    Must be so fun watching all the all star stuff at your home stadium! I love baseball season and have recently had fun using the phillies colors and wearing "normal" outfits instead of my phillies t's.

    The home run derby was awesome! I was really hoping Frazier would win and he did! How cool that the all star festivities in your home town. We are Pirates fans but would love to visit GABP.

    I'm from Cincinnati too and have been watching the festivities from afar! It looks like it was a great week in Cincy. My parents went downtown almost every day just so they could be apart of the atmosphere.
