Snow Day

 Okay I am not going to try and tell anyone that these pictures came out well. It was at 1 in the afternoon, during the harshest sunlight, and under a tree that left those little dapply lights all over the ground, so I really broke most of what I think are the right outfit-photography rules to follow. But do you see that white stuff on the ground? It snowed! And here I am standing in the last remaining patch of it.
 So I live in South Carolina. My home and school are both at the northern part of the state (one is just further west), and we normally get snow once or twice a year. But I missed it this year because I was with my boyfriend! Not that it wasn't worth it. I still got to see the leftovers!
I was driving back along the highway and I saw this white stuff on the side of the road. My first thought was that a mower had come along and shredded up a bunch of cotton plants. My second thought (forgive me) was that a washing machine had overflown and they were soap bubbles.
I figured it out.
 Now, don't let my apparent stupidity fool you! We southerners do know what snow looks like. Though we have relatively mild winters, it's hardly balmy outside, and most people think I'm crazy for not wearing pants this time of year. It just never really gets below 20 degrees.
 Anyway, I really wanted to photograph our one snow day, so here it is in all it's grainy glory! Hope you guys are having a nice week!

  4. Just another darling Rachel dress. So cute, as usual. And I wish I could excited about snow. I'll always be a California girl, so when it snows here I'm such a wimp.

  6. I love the lines of this outfit. Loose and structured in one. The shape of the hat does it a lot of justice, too.
