Red Hot Mess!

This morning I was a hot mess!

I woke up late, decided I had NOTHING to wear (a complete fabrication of the truth), and my hair was being anything but cooperative. After many failed attempts at piecing together an outfit, I went with leggings on loan from Mya and a red peacoat inspired jacket- which, by the way, is arguably the best thing to come out of Old Navy since Bermuda shorts and 2 for $5 sandals. I topped the look of with my $5 clearance-rack pin-up inspired shoes from Target. The look is flirty, fun... and fabulous. For being such a hopeless hot mess this morning, I think I pulled this one off; now I'm a red hot mess.

When it rains, we accessorize!

California has, once again, been drenched with precipitation. Rain, rain… go AWAY! I, for the most part, dislike the rain; it messes with my hair, wreacks havoc on the roads, but it does allow us to accessorize like never before!!!

I’ve always been a fan of bright colored ‘gloomy weather’ wardrobe pieces. If it’s raining out I, a) want to make sure I can be seen through the fog, and b) want to be a ray of sunshine among the clouds when looked at. That being said, I paired the dress with a double-breasted light blue peacoat… one of my favorite jackets. In case of rain puddles, I stepped into a pair of my favorite black-buckle boots. Lastly, I topped the look off with a hot pink umbrella adorned with slight stripes of white, green and peach.
I stayed inside most of the day, but when I ventured out… I did so in style and was a ray of sunshine for the rest of the world bundled up in black and brown.

*Please excuse my lack of "semi-glamorous appearance" today... today my motto is "Saturday's were made to stroll around looking like a bum."
