Sunny

 I really loved how these pictures turned out. I feel like I need to make a commitment to stepping up my oufit photography. There's something really sweet about a frilly collar and simple colors. Not to mention I love my straw hat.
 Say hi to my fat cat, Kit! He had an ear-mite infection recently and we had to give him these drops. So he has been kindof pissed off.
 The other day my mom said to me "Yknow, Rachel, I normally really like your outfits. But when you wear your socks like that you just look like a frumpy old lady." Thanks mom. I'm going to wear them like this anyway.
Also I'd like to share the "before" of this dress with you. Frumptastic, amiright? I hemmed it and took out the shoulderpads and now I just love it!

  6. This outfit is my favorite, I love the color and collar and the hat! Sometimes when I were socks like that I feel a little granmotherly too, but I like it and who cares! Your before and after pictures are amazing, I love how shortening a hem can make a world of difference to a garment! So cute!
