May Showers

Things are all mixed up here. The flowers bloomed in April, when it was warm and sunny. Now, it just rains all the time. There was a break between storms this weekend, and I finally got back out into the world and said hello! And guess what was out there waiting for me in the world? Well, 3 things, but here is 1: new black shorts from Blacklist Vintage! They are sorta baggy, like a black diaper. Rad, right?

Things that keep me happy when it's rainy are my Hunter rain boots and this vintage coat.

Buttoned up! It's so windy.

I got this coat a long time ago living in San Diego. I think it was part of my coat hoarding in anticipation of moving somewhere with weather. That was good planning. I bought these boots shortly after moving here during this frantic period of worrying about being under-prepared for weather. I was so spastic for the entire first year of living with seasons! Anyhow, I'm happy to report that these boots paid off. I wear them all the time. The top part if canvas, if you were wondering.

There is a real puddle problem on all the streets near my house. Some are so very deep, and it's quite fun to stomp right through them. As I've told you before, I cherish the small joys in life. Which brings me to this masterpiece across the street from my home:

Too bad it's probably washed away in the rain. I can't wait to show you the other new things I bought this weekend! All vintage, all black, all under $20. Stay tuned.
