Rainy Day to Rainy Night

Last Friday after work I went to see a community theater play in one of the kinda hipster areas of town. I’m way too lazy busy and important to come up with an extra outfit, pack it in a tote, and change into it after work, so I had to come up with something that looked professional enough for the office but didn’t make me look like a stuffy lawyer afterward. Oh, and did I mention it was raining buckets all day? Because it was.

Everything you see here except for the hat was what I wore to work – I figured a simple black and cream palette was the safest way to go. And these rain boots are a life saver because they totally pass for normal ankle boots so I can wear them all day! After my working hours were up, I stuck the beanie back on. Boom, instant rain-proof hipster. OK, maybe not. I’m still at least one flannel shirt away from hipster. Oh, but I did have a local beer at dinner. That certainly counts for something. Also, I liked Jimmy Eat World before they got popular, AND after they stopped being popular. More hipster points there, for sure.

Buuuut I think I get negative hipster points for the fact that I put my new blush Ann Taylor satchel inside a plastic bag to protect it from the rain. Yup, that happened.
