Recently the temps were mild enough for me to break out my riding boots, and I couldn't tell you how excited I was. I compare it to the first snowfall of the season - I get the same giddy feeling as I did when I put on those boots!

So the weather was gross and Hubbs was hungry and cranky, so apparently after the first couple shots he gave up on getting full length photos. And I can't say these first two shots are even full length photos.
Note to self - feed Hubbs first, then do photo shoot. (Although I should admit, I'm a total crankypants too when I'm hungry. Worse than he is. So I cut him a little slack).

And can we talk about my hair?! Actually can we not. It is a frizzy mess. I had just finished curling my hair when it started pouring! And not just a little rain, I'm talking downpour. Luckily the skies parted just long enough for a photo shoot!
This outfit ended up being perfect for the weather. The boots kept me warm while the cap sleeves and light cotton kept me cool in the humid air. I love the bias cut, too, and the way the fabric ruches just a bit with each cut. It's always the simple details that I like the most!

Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself and your circumstances. I had fun. :)





haha my husband is totally cranky when he's hungry. In fact, so are our boys! Men... cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteCuuuute outfit! Idk if i can pull out boots, but I personally LOVE the look!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?! Your hair looks great, and so do the pictures (not bad for a hungry guy)!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit AND the skyline!
LOVE that dress!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah--feed your man first, then take pictures. It just doesn't work the other way around! :P That's what I've discovered too. Actually, it's feed him first, and then ask him to do anything. Because he won't agree to anything when he's sleepy or when he's hungry.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute outfit! I love that dress. You always looks so polished! You are one of the only fashion bloggers I follow. I think you have great style!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! And your hair does NOT look frizzy. Trust me - I would know! That's my hair's constant state of being. :]
ReplyDeleteI broke out my boots too! I love wearing boots. I would totally wear them in July if I could.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is beautiful. You look lovely.

Yay for boot season! I can't wait to get mine out! It is still too warm here in Utah during the day (in the 80's) but I know I will have plenty of time to wear them once it starts getting cold.

YES to boots and a dress! This season makes me excited too since it's only a small window of time that you can (comfortably) wear a dress and boots without it being too cold or too hot.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Sabrina
I get giddy thinking about my boots too!!
ReplyDeleteLove boot season! Can't wait to get my boots out with my scarf and coat :)

Adorable outfit! I love the neutral tones.
ReplyDeleteI loooove that dress. I was going to say after the first photo that your hair looked gorgeous...I didn't notice any frizz. Looks like a nice night out with the Hubbs. Men should come with basic rules like Gremlins, although I'm the crankiest without food too! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI love the boots AND the dress.
ReplyDeleteLOL Definitely have to keep the hubbies happy when they're doing outfit photos :) Um... If this is what your hair looks like after rain and can't image how amazing it looks on a good day. My hair would be about a millions times worse than this! Thanks for linking up to Real Girl Style!
