Rainy Days and Mondays

... never get me down.

It was rainy today.  I had the day off.  It was a great day!  Took these pics before the rain came...

{dress - Jean Paul Gaultier for Target, wedges - Nine West, belt - F21}

Played with the draping of the dress and made a makeshift shrug.

I'm also super stoked because I was one of the lucky winners of this beautiful bracelet from Amy's {junghwa by amy stewart} Rope Bracelet's Giveaway.

I can't wait to wear it!  Thanks again Amy for picking me!!  If you lovelies don't know Amy yet, definitley check out her BLOG and also her ETSY STORE.  She's a total sweetheart and is uber creative too! You're gonna want everything in her shop!  I know I do. :)

One thing that did make me a bit sad... was my failed attempt to find a boater hat.  My head is large and in charge... there is no hat on the planet that fits my head. :(

Love, S

I'm in love with that dress, unfortunately, I think the shape would eat me. I'm so little.

And you and I have have the opposite problems with our heads. No hat fits me, either, but that's because I have the head the size of a fetus.

AsianCajuns (Lar) said...

A shrug! Sharon, that's genius! I didn't even think about trying that ;) You look gorgeous in the dress! Oh and Cath and I both have very large heads too. The boater hat she purchased from Nasty Gal also barely perches on her head. I love going to actual hat shops because mens' hats usually fit me perfectly ;)

Marz said...

I love the draping on the dress, and the fact that you can make it into a shrug! Congrats on the bracelet!

AsianCajuns (Cath) said...

I'm sorry that your quest for a boater is still going on. i found a lot of the real vintage boaters were bigger than what they're selling in shops now. You might want to check ebay.

Kobash said...

Lovin the shoes. Super cute!!!

congrats on the bracelet, it´s uber cute. love your striped dress as well! i would have advised you to look at h&m because they have hats in different sizes, im sure there´s one that could fit you, but you dont have h&m so i´ll just shut up. :p
