Trenched, Not Drenched
our unpredictable weather has become the bane of my existence. it shifts from sweltering heat to manic thunderstorms in a matter of minutes.
sure, i enjoy the rain, but not when it suddenly pours while i’m out on the field, without anywhere to take refuge. i end up drenched – – my clothes and shoes (oh, poor espadrilles!) ruined. so i decided one day to face this aberration head on. i busted out my tights and platform booties and brought along my beloved trench coat.

it turned out to be the only day in the entire week that was completely bright and sunny. story of my life.
printed dress – blanc et noir
booties – parisian
trench coat – thrifted
rings – aldo, yrys, ebay
sunnies – borrowed
PS
so i just noticed that i’ve reached (and surpassed!) the 100-follower mark. thank you so much to all my readers and my new followers! i love you all and i promise a giveaway soon! (:

Congratulations, Bestie! You are so sweet, you definitely deserve it. That is so funny because Arianne and I plan that if ever we reach 100 we will do a giveaway too! In fact, we already have it picked out. Haha
Of course, the sun suddenly came out. It's a waste of your extra warm and protective outfit but at least it provided fantastic lighting for your photos.
You are rocking that fistful of rings, girl 🙂

Aww Bestie I know what you mean! The weather here can be just as unpredictable! Sometimes it's raining while the sun is actually shine! What the heck…?! Perhaps you should compromise and wear summery clothes but carry a trench in case 🙂 Congrats on reaching 100+ followers!
