Summer Fair Fun #FashionFriday

I’m not sure I ever thought I would be a state fair kind of girl, but it’s official.  I love the state fair.

This is the fourth year I’ve gone to the Michigan State Fair at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.  It’s a giant facility that allows the fair to truly shine with activities inside and out.

There are games, rides, booths for shopping local goods, giant pumpkins, a butter cow, a circus, monster trucks, fried foods and cold drinks, and every single category of farm animal you can think of.  It is a stereotypical state fair and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s quite beautiful too with the giant ferris wheel against the sky, all the colors and lights on the signs for rides.  I just feel good when I’m there, walking around with no real purpose, even if it is Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end to summer.

I like to win a stuffed animal to match my outfit.  There weren’t a whole lot of yellow options save for a giant Minion and a giant Pikachu, both of which I wanted, but let’s just say it turns out I can’t really throw.  Please, save your shock for another time 😉

I pretty much love this little unicorn … and our shoes matched so I call that a win.

But not as big of a win as spending the afternoon at the state fair with my parents!

And then I played quick change artist to head to dinner at Prime + Proper (where else???)  It was the perfect summer day!
