Rainy Day Bowling Outfit


Confession: I love bowling. It's such a versatile activity - great for a double date, a night out with your entourage in tow, or in my case, the answer to a rainy and beyond gloomy day this past June. We made up fake "bowling" names {we had a 'Clive' and a 'Spork Lee' in the group}, I threw down some spares and 1 strike, and it was the perfect way to kill a couple of hours! I already want to plan a trip to Lucky Strike Lanes in LA. It's crazy to think these pictures are almost half a year old, and that was the last time I went bowling!


Bowling definitely isn't one of those activities that calls for high fashion, or even cute shoes {haha}, so I aimed for a casual look that balanced comfort with style. If I were bowling at a more high-end venue, I may have dolled up even more, but for this occasion, I wore a loose-fitting, striped American Eagle top over a white cami, with cropped bermuda shorts. A glittery cocktail ring and a long gold necklace from Forever 21 was a fun addition that dressed it up a bit.


What do you wear when you go bowling?

Super cute outfit! I agree that Bowling doesn't have to be fashionable... and the inevitable shoes make it even more difficult to pick out what to wear. You did the casual look quite well :)

Last time I went bowling, I was with a gay pride youth conference group, so I wore: a hand-painted & glitter-covered t-shirt from the gay-straight alliance I lead, jeans, red lipstick, and bright white socks that glowed under the blacklights. (Did I mention it was neon bowling?) Also, my name was Lesbatron. Lumberjack Lesbatron, actually, but Lesbatron for short. It was great! haha (:

I have the tendency to get dressed up when I bowl, I believe this started when I lived in NYC. I approached bowling as a fun night of folly and was startled to find how many single men used the bowling alley to acquire single females. From that point forward, dressed in my best.
