In Preparation for The Great American Beer Festival

This week is The 29th Annual Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO. The event serves more than 2,200 types of beer to its 49,000 plus brew aficionados. I had the privilege to attend last year, and now I know exactly what to expect when I go back.

Dress to have fun- this is not a place for fussy club wear! Get ready to walk the floors of the huge Colorado Convention Center while getting drunk. Flat shoes are a must, plus a hands free purse.

I especially love the Kasey cross-body multi-pocket tote made by LeSportSac (Pictured Left). It holds all your gear safely while freeing your hands for the beer you'll surely be holding.

If you REALLY want to get into the event, like many people, come dressed in your favorite Halloween costume! Last year, we saw the likes of Where's Waldo, beer wenches, a pretzel gauchos and guys dressed like they were transported from an 80's Wham video.

I know that I'm going to be decked out in light layers...  This will probably consist of a light long sleeved thermal top from Free People with a free-form wrap cardigan from Splendid. Of course, I'll finish off the look with some black jeggings from Blank and my Nine West Maeble motorcycle boots.

Finally, the perfect accessory to complete any GABF outfit is the pretzel necklace. So of course, the day before we brave the festival, we'll be spending some time stringing pretzels onto twine. You have to have something to nosh on while drinking, right? It's just the right thing to do. Cheers!
