My Attempt at Fashion: Rainy Day Pink + Zebra Print!
You guys, it’s been raining a lot. So much rain. SO much rain. A lot of rain. Rain.
I mean, I’m not complaining, cause lots of rain means MOLLY DON’T NEED TO WATER HER PLANTS. WOOP!
Anyway, just cause it’s raining doesn’t mean you can’t look coordinated or cheery despite the dreary days.
I’m not gonna lie, when it rained, my mood used to drop (Seasonal Affective Disorder, or something??) – I’d wear sweats, old jeans and a raddy t-shirt, or, you know, something. Now, there’s nothing wrong with dressing comfy on a rainy day – but you’d be surprised how much my mood improved just by dressing fun and cheery on a rainy day!
Also, who doesn’t love some pink and zebra print? I mean, I know I do.
BOOM.
[embracing the self-portraits – also, i love that it stopped raining for the 5 minutes in the morning for me to take my portraits. dramatic irony? or just irony? or coincidence?]

[oh hai dirt and wet leaves]
[sans rain jacket now, yo.
and yeah, i know my headband, cardigan, and umbrella match. and i don’t care. i love it. haha]
[you know, just a shot of what it looks like from the back. haha. why? i dunno.]
[my dogs were trying to crawl through the deck to get to me. i was amused.]

You are adorable! I love the zebra print and pink! I have found that rainy days )and practically all winter) does the same to me, makes me turn to comfy clothes haha, but seriously cute clothes do some how make things happier 🙂
thank you, lisa!! and i agree – comfy clothes always are the easy choice for me, but when i make myself feel “cute” or whathaveyou, my mood is always boosted 🙂
Look at you with your rainy day animal print. I LOVE it!

Creamy
thanks girl!! i’m a fan, too 🙂
You have plants? That you water? That must be nice. Giving me a plant is like saying “here – you kill it.” 🙂 Love your cheery pink on a dreary day!
hahaha i know, right? how domestic of me. i’m definitely not the BEST and i am no “green thumb” – but i’m making an effort
Cute outfit! I like the pink and zebra.
why thank you 😉 🙂
Oh my gosh Molly … I’m freaking out a little bit about this outfit! I LOVE the coordination that you’ve got going on … the zebra cardi and umbrella, the pink belt and pink accents on the boots, and the print on that dress is fabulous! It is NOT raining here, nor probably will it until August. Which means Bonnie is stuck watering her plants. With a little plastic pitcher because I’m too lazy to unroll the garden hose. Which means about 10 trips between the sink and backyard. Because that’s less work than unrolling the garden hose. 😉 Have a great one, lady!
thank you for the super sweet comment, bonnie!! i was a little afraid of the matchy-matchy but i thought the different prints in the boots and on the dress helped to switch it up a bit. i have always wanted to visit Arizona, so you’ll have to let me know what to do when i go there!! xoxo 🙂
cute!
thanks girl 🙂 xoxo
Ugh I HATE all the rain we’ve been getting. So lame. Love your bright outfit though!
Sea and Swank

Okay you have to stop being so freaking cute!!! LOVE the rainboots and your zebra cardigan!!!
thanks girl. i dunno if “cute” is the right term – but i’ll stop. 🙂 hahaha
Yeah, it’s been raining a lot here as well – I’m sick of it!
You look adorable, I love how well your rain boots match your outfit 🙂
thanks so much, megan!! i am TIRED of all this rain. 🙂
LOVE the pink & zebra – you look so cute! It’s definitely hard to get dressed on rainy days sometimes…wish I could wear sweats to work 🙂
