Guys. Guys. On Saturday I decided that since it was not raining for the first time in my (admittedly short when concerning the weather) memory, I should go out for an adventure. To Waterside. It did seem like a brilliant idea at the time.
And then I got there… and I realized why no one else was about. The wind. Crazy.
And I only got one semi-normal looking photo. My hair. It’s… I don’t even know where it is.
On the plus side, the park was mostly empty which significantly cut down on the what-is-that-crazy-doing looks. And I had a lovely (windy) walk.
But I might have to brave the streets next time. Tall buildings totally cut down on wind, right?
Caitlin says
Hahaha! Your outfit is adorable, even if the wind was messing with your hair. We have had the craziest, windiest week here in Indiana. It’s about time for it to quit.
Kristin & Megan says
Well, even if it was windy…at least you looked pretty. : )
Lyddiegal says
Ohhhh I’ve had far worse ideas than that. Like taking photos in a downpour and thinking I can duct tape an umbrella to my tripod.
I’m loving that eggplant coat, very chic.
Alex Elizabeth says
Ahhh hahahaa… I understand. What I didn’t say is that the wind totally blew over my tripod. The plastic rim on my poor 35mm lens is a little scratched now :(
Lyddiegal says
Oh no! That is awful. I hope it’s okay; which I say because I’m not sure if you knew I existed when I told the story of what happen to my first 50 mm lens: it fell over on the tripod and it seemed fine, worked perfectly for a WEEK and then fell into two pieces!
Alex Elizabeth says
I am FREAKING OUT. No I didnt know about your first 50mm… if this lens falls apart it will be so bad. Ahhh. My credit card will cry if i have to replace it.
Lyddiegal says
It might have just been because it was the cheapy plastic $100 50mm —
I think, well I would certainly hope that the mostly metal lenses
could survive a small fall.
But then I went out and got the 1.4 for $360 or whatever and it feels
a lot more solid. I was even able to get $40 for the broken one on
ebay. I have no idea what a person would want with a broken lens, but
they sell. apparently.

I agree with Dotty, I like your windy day photos too! The wind adds drama. Where did you get your belt?
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! The was a really good find at a LOFT 40% off sale earlier this spring!
Yeri Yun says
Good deal!
dotty says
i like your windy day photos…even if not very many turned out! and your belt is such a great addition to your outfit!
Alex Elizabeth says
Thank you! I thought they looked kind of cool too, if a bit… disheveled.
