Rainy Day Apparel

Top: CAbi Similar Style  Sweater: Banana Republic Similar Style  Skirt: Banana Republic Similar Style  Shoes: Jessica Simpson  Necklace: Stella and Dot

As you can probably tell, today's photos are not the same quality as my usual posts. When I went out to take pictures yesterday morning (in the rain!) I got outside to find that my camera was dead. I had taken so many photos during my photography class the night before and I forgot to charge my battery, so I apologize for the low quality iPhone photos I posted today. 

I know that I have mentioned my photography class before but I am in love with it! We went out on the water in Old Town on Sunday night to take some pictures when the rain stopped. I included a couple of photos I took with no filters or editing:

MAXImum Comfort

Dress: Banana Republic Similar Style  Shoes: Kensie Girl  Necklace: Stella and Dot  Watch: Michael Kors  Bracelets: Stella and Dot

Some Mondays just call for a comfortable outfit. Today is one of those days. With rain falling outside and one of the cooler days in the forecast, I decided comfort was just what I needed. Nothing is more comfortable than a maxi dress (I am not even sure sweatpants compare!) so I knew exactly what to wear as soon as I got out of bed.

What is your go-to comfort outfit?

Classic Pencil Skirt

Top: Mossimo Similar Style  Skirt: The Limited  Scarf: Ann Taylor Similar Style  Watch: Michael Kors  Shoes: Jessica Simpson  Glasses: Coach

When the weather is humid and rainy, I feel like I lose a lot of my creativity in the mornings. I would prefer to just be in sweats, watching movies and not leaving the couch. Because I do not have that luxury, I decided to wear a classic: a black pencil skirt. Black pencil skirts are such a great staple item in every closet because they go with everything. They can dress up a plain shirt (see above) or create a classic look with a suit. They can be worn so many ways and flatter every body type.

What are some staples you can't live without?

Monday Mist

Top: H and M Similar Style  Sweater: Ann Taylor  Jeans: JOE'S  Shoes: Jessica Simpson  Watch: Michael Kors  Bracelet: Stella and Dot

With beautiful weather all weekend, waking up to rain this morning was a real bummer. I decided I needed to wear something bright in order to cheer up after looking out the window. I love how bright this cardigan is and it looks great with the contrasting stripes. The yellow is so bold and bright- it instantly adds some color to this very gray day.

What do you do to beat the rainy weather blues?

Top: I.N.C.

Earrings: Stella and Dot

Jeans: Joe's

Shoes: TOMS

April showers are abundant today. Let's hope this leads to lots of May flowers. Due to the rainy/ muggy weather, I don't really have many photos. I tried taking a bunch this morning but none of them really worked out. The light was flat, there were shadows and mist-- overall, they were just terrible. 

 I rediscovered this top in my closet and pulled it out for this gray and dreary day. Nothing like the color mustard to brighten up a Wednesday.
