Hurricane Before and After

by


So it was a little windy on Sunday after the hurricane, and unbelievably cool for August although the sun appeared late in the day. I’m still a little behind because of the disruption from the storm.

Everything cleared up rather nicely after the hurricane, although so many people I know were left without power for most of the week.

The rain wasn’t too bad Saturday before the hurricane so I kept my dinner engagement, thankful that I wore my rain boots because the puddles were much larger later in the evening. I wasn’t kidding when I said I’ve become obsessed with this sweater again. It seems like the perfect thing to wear when a heavier knit would be too warm.

And did anyone else with power still available notice Me, Myself & Irene on TV? Terrible timing.

What I Wear to Take People’s Photos

It’s true, I really am that ridiculous. Not the best choice of outfits for a photoshoot, but by now you should realize that I wouldn’t be wearing sweatpants. Even if I was rolling around in the grass to change my perspective and get some cool baby bump shots and eek I almost rolled right into rabbit poo (that’s okay, I guess it’s just clover after all…). I was wearing my lace edged slip anyway, you can see it peeking out a little.

The hat is the only really functional piece. Keeps the sun out of my eyes, especially when I’m placing a subject with her back to the sun.

I’m wearing my old Free People dress from spring 2009, Calypso for Target belt, J.Crew hat and ribbon tied around it, and Stuart Weitzman flatforms (on sale now!!).

With Inspiration

Lately I’ve been inspired by Chic on the Cheap, and I’m sure you saw What I Wore earlier this week (I like referring to bloggers by their blog names, don’t ask me why). Lydia always wears her shirts tied or knotted in the front so I decided to do it too. I’ve never worn this shirt tied before and it actually looks better this way that any other way I’ve worn it.

I hardly ever wear these shoes either and I don’t know why. They’re actually pretty comfortable and feel like slippers so I should definitely add them into the rotation. I’m sure they’d be good for walking around New York. I just can’t wear them in the rain like on Tuesday.

Banana Republic shirt, J.Crew skirt, Minnetonka moccasins.
