Hello there! So, I took a bit of a break from the blog world for a little while there (it feels like a longer amount of time than it actually was!). After the semester ended I just wanted to relax. I had spent so much time glued to my computer the last few weeks that I really needed a break. I'm back now, though, and with too many photos (and posts to catch up on!). Today is one of those days that I love. It starts out really slow, and boring, but develops into a fun day. I woke up late this morning (I've permitted late sleeping just for this first weekend of summer) to dark, rainy weather, which I actually love. At about 3 in the afternoon I started to pout about my lack of doing anything, so Zak suggested we take a drive over to this wonderful park a little ways from my house. It's a huge park (bigger than central park!) and so much fun to explore. One of my favorite areas is the playground because, being the five year old that I am, I love playing around on the slides and the swings (especially the swings). It's not often that I have a wide variety of photo locations available to me, which I'm sure you've noticed by all of the pictures on my porch, so I got a bit overwhelmed and took took too many pictures!
It was surprisingly hot and humid today so, even though I brought a sweater to the park, I immediately put it away. This outfit is fairly simple and monochrome mostly because my rain boots are so ridiculous and loud. I love wearing them, but it's so hard to plan an outfit around that bright colorful pattern!
Top: H&M
Skirt: Urban Outfitters
Boots: DSW, I think?
Until tomorrow,
Nicole
You're telling me about a break.. I can go months without posting :( Just no motivation I suppose.
ReplyDeleteBut lovely outfit! I love the details.
ahhh I need to go to the park! I'm jealous. This park looks awesome. Love your frilly outfit and how you added these super fun rainboots! Love the polka dots. I want to go down a slide. Five year olds forever. =)
ReplyDeleteCute wellies! I was thinking about wearing my rain boots today but it clashed with my outfit... :(
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks really nice. My hair becomes all weird in the rain/humidity/dew.
Good for you, I'm glad you finally have summer break, enjoy sleeping in, relaxing and doing little fun things like going to that park!
ReplyDeleteI love the little clip on your hair, so cute!!

Aw, your little blouse is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love going for walks when it has just rained cause the grass and trees smell so great!
I love this... you look all 1920s, until I get to the rain boots!
ReplyDeleteYay for the tank that we both have! I haven't tried wearing it over a skirt yet, but I must since you've done it a couple times now hehe :) You look so cute in your rain boots!
ReplyDeleteAh love the pop and quirkiness with those boots! And love how you layered nude colors and added a colored piece on the shoes. Very cute! :)

QT! :) love your boots!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I was exactly the same way when Robert was in town. Because he has a car (I live in the city and walk/public transit everywhere) and we cruised around the suburbs quite a bit, which opened up SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. I might go crazy this summer, when he's home for good.
ReplyDeleteIs that one of the tops from H&M's conscious collection? So much of that is so breezy and pretty. Love the soft colors + loud rainboots :D
so cute! I love those colors on you. and the boots are so fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole, you look so dishy wearing your Wellingtons, they are so cool.
