30for30: Eight is Great

 

 It hasn't rained much since we moved to AL, but when it does rain here, it makes up for lost time. And I like rainy and gloomy days. As long as I can stay inside and enjoy from a distance. I also try to avoid pants on rainy days. It always seems to be the case that if I wear pants when it's raining, they will get soaked, but that's not enough. The water migrates up the pants (don't you hate that!). Which isn't comfortable for me or anyone having to look at me. So I stick with boots and a something short. And that's how number eight was born. I was also pretty excited to wear this trench for the first time. 

Maeby insisted on being part of the photoshoot today. Some pictures she was being a bit too provocative (you know, showing off her hiney and everything) and blocking the lower half of my outfit, so she eventually had to be put back into the house, but not before snapping a mother/fur-baby shot. 

Trench: Target

Lace top: Target

Corduroy skirt: Gap

Belt: {don't remember - Target?}

Tights: mom's {probably from when she was my age}

Socks: NY&Co.

Shoes: Steve Madden

I wanted to snap the above picture because this is by far one of my favorite hairstyles. It's different than your usual braid, it's soft and feminine, and it's so easy to throw together in the morning. The only thing... since I've had layers put in my hair, I get those annoying fly-aways - which gives character, but I would rather it look like this.
