I look like I'm pushing a shopping cart! I did transport a lot of stuff this morning.
The forecast for today was bad, but I would have been pissed going to work on the bus because there wasn't any rain on my way... Going home was a different sad story.
Let's talk about my outfit! It looks cute from a few feet away. If you look closely, my belt and the plaid of my shirt need to stay the hell away from each other.
Jacket - Best jacket! Thrifted in Tampa, Florida.
Plaid Blouse- Vintage ESPRIT Found in Hot Springs, Arkansas at the Good Goodwill on Grand Ave.
Belt - H&M - Matches the Jessica Simpson gray suede wedges
Jeans - Citizens of Humanity... can't think of the style name (I LOVE the denim bar at Barney's! I get all my fancy-brand jeans there and usually on sale.)
But this morning I was fresh! These jeans are creating illusions about my legs. These jeans plus 3" wedge heels are tricking your eyes into thinking my legs might be this skinny.
I did a big cargo ride this morning. Had to pack & ship it today.
I totally underestimated the wetness falling from the sky on my way home and got really angry pretty fast.
I bought SIX Boxes of GirlScout Cookies today and they stayed at work. (1 box of each flavor + 2 boxes of thin mints.) I can't jeopardize their well-being by bringing them on my bicycle and in the rain! I care too much. I also got 4, yes FOUR pair of sample sweatpants -Don't worry, they're cute, cropped ones like LL Cool J - for FREE today and decided they weren't urgently needed at home.
If I have to ride in the rain, I have to leave the things I love in safety.
It's enough to worry about myself in the rain - can't be worrying about stuff.
It was kind-of distracting riding in the rain. I caught myself being caught up in the misery of things like drips falling off my helmet onto my face or my hands being cold and wet or thinking "is this rain ruining these awesome suede shoes?" and realized it was distracting me from paying attention to the cars & road. Should have left the bicycle and taken the Subway.
Lesson Learned!
Girl - your legs are Skinny! You look good!
ReplyDeleteAgain, you have another outfit that I love & I need to get a pair of those jeans in my life!
Riding in real rain - hats off to you... I know that I get distracted by the droplets on my glasses, which always drives me mad! x
The first time I saw those JS wedges I fell in love. I love the color, style, heel height, toe, everything! I had my eye on a very similar pair at Target and I watched them until they went on sale for $13.98 from $29.99 AND they are unbelievably comfortable - Target Stalker success story!
ReplyDeleteI saw these JS wedges a few diff. times at diff TJ Maxx'es but I wasn't wearing them because it was winter, but now that it's spring they are amazing! I might look for other pairs online.
