Boot Season

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!

Dress ~ Marc by Marc Jacobs / Boots ~ Bandolino / Bag ~ Louis Vuitton / Bracelet ~ J. Crew



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. :)

  3. Are you kidding?! Your hair looks great, and so do the pictures (not bad for a hungry guy)!

    Love the outfit AND the skyline!

  4. Oh 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.

  10. 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.

  46. 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.

  59. I 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 :)

  61. LOL 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!

  62. Woаh! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's ѕimple, yet effectiνе.

    Α lοt of timеѕ it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance. I must say you have done a superb job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!
