Where's Farnsworth Bentley with my umbrella?



Can I just say that this weather is ridiculous? I mean one day its nice and sunny and the next its cloudy and rainining. On days such as this I rarely "get dressed" because of these 3 reasons:

1. The rain just puts me in a dreary mood and it reflects in my ensemble (lets just say the look I tend to go for on day like this is laid back cool girl-this "look" consists of jeans, some chuck taylors and a cute plaid top with tuxedo piping and ruffles from the Gap....not an Oh, am I fabulous kind of day, BUT not to shabby either).


2. Rain & my hair, DONT get along (there's a whole method to preserving my coif for work-it stays wrapped under my scarf which is hidden under the BEST wool hat ever...now that Spring is here, I'm going to have to rework this method).


3. Thirdly, I take a look at my boss, see what shes is wearing or has been wearing to work (which consists of tight stonewashed jeans from the '80's, an old school turtleneck and some shoes that are leaning to the side) and wonder WHY even try. Shouldn't your boss motivate you or force you to step up your style game at work? Like, "damn I want to be like her when I grow up"? NOT THE CASE HERE PEOPLE.




And lastly, my top reason for hating this on again, off again, sunshine, rainy weather is that I lost my beloved GAP umbrella a couple of months ago and I have YET to buy another umbrella. I mean I really have been anti-umbrella right now...I know, foolish. But let's see you try walking around the city with 50 million other people holding umbrellas and then lets talk. So for now, I'll just keep trucking to work with my hair wrapped under my scarf, UNDER my hat in the rain praying that my mascara doesn't run. ALL the while trying to be fabulous. Where's Mr. Bentley when you need him? I want to have my Diddy moment.

I do enjoy a nicely placed bow-tie.
