Music to My Eyes: Milo Greene


     Although I had never heard of Milo Greene before I heard them live with The Civil Wars, I was beyond thrilled to add them into my collection of most loved bands. I didn't jump the gun and buy their music right there at the concert; instead, I waited until I moved back on campus this year, when they released their debut album on iTunes. Because of this timing, this album has absolutely become the soundtrack to my fall. 
     That being said, music plays an incredibly huge role in my life experiences. I associate songs with people, seasons, experiences, and especially photographs. I often connect clothes to albums and bands in my mind, so I thought I would start sharing some of these musical ensembles on my blog. Milo Greene's self titled album is exemplified to me by ethereal pieces with a bit of an edge. That's the way I would describe their sound in a nutshell and I believe I've created an outfit below that could be described as such.

      Whenever I listen to the album, it automatically evokes images of long, white dresses. The Poetry Department dress from Modcloth is an absolutely perfect option for this look. Throw in some black leather accents like those completely badass Rocketdog lace ups and the black Schoolboy bag from Gap for a perfect edge. Of course, if it's cold out, an army style jacket like this one from Paul and Joe Sister is my go-to option over pretty, lacy things. A darling feather ring and some vampy nail polish add the finishing touches for a look that has as much harmony as the five part vocals in Milo Greene's songs.

The Band Tee: Three Ways to Style

     Band tees: indicator of taste, holy grail of thrift store finds, and most of all, a sneaky way to add comfort into your everyday outfits. Although I possessed one band tee shirt back from the Flogging Molly show I went to during my junior year of high school, this year my collection has come a long way. I'm typically opposed to wearing tee shirts to class, but I always make an exception for those supporting my favorite bands. All three shirts are from concerts that I've actually been to: memories that will stay with me for years to come. 









 





     I know sometimes it may seem as though it is difficult to branch out from the stereotypical grungy looks associated with more vintage band tees, but these are three of my tried and true looks to express my love for my favorite bands. As if being reminded of my excitement over the concert isn't reason enough to pull on one of these shirts, they have the added bonus of being able to be slept in...a great perk for when I know I'll have a busy morning. With something as simple and versatile as a band tee shirt, there is absolutely no shame in wearing your "pajamas" to class.
     Each of these bands comes with a story for me. What are some of your favorite music groups or concert experiences? I hope you'll be able to wear your concert tee shirt with pride with these styling ideas!
