Rain Blues

Today would have been a good day to fashion an outfit around a pair of rain boots.  I mean I knew rain was in the forecast, and that it had been sprinkling this morning, but when I went out to take a picture I was like Oh! It's raining!  Duh.  So I stayed on the stoop and caught a few raindrops in the palm of my hand.

100% Thrifty, except tights.

"Chadwick's" brand dress, which is a little more suburban mom than I swing,

but it was 50% off tag color plus I liked the big tropical print 

and the little details like linen/cotton fabric, pockets and yokes and plackets and self-belts, oh my!

Oh well, looks like I'll have plenty of time to break out the rain boots as it is.  Non snow (sadly) precipitation is  predicted every day through the 25th.  Just in time for the boys' first week of break.  Lovely!

PS - I was able to mail two etsy packages out same day as purchase today!  The last one I actually stood out by the road (not raining at the moment) and waited for the mail lady to drive back by from doing her dead end loop, because the label was printing right as she pulled up to our box, moments earlier.  She nicely slowed to a stop and took it from me, so I thanked her kindly and wished her a Happy Holidays.

PPS - I've always thought it would be kind of fun to be a mail lady.  Crusin' around, deliverin' the goods.  Other than the ones that go postal, they always seem so chill.
