I'm so excited that it's the first real rain of the year here in SF. Of course, it imposes some constraints on our clothing, but it was also a chance to break out my favorite fedora! My boyfriend got it for me at Rag & Bone a few years ago but I rarely feel bold enough to wear it. Rain is the perfect excuse.

Too bad my hair is dripping wet in these photos; the hat looks much better with my hair dry and curly like it is now, but I was in a rush to get out the door and I never blow-dry it.

Also, my lovely Madewell tall boots seem to be entirely wrong on my legs. I snatched them up when they somehow rang up at $70 instead of $300, but they are certainly too tall and big around the top for my legs. The last photo shows one boot and one bare leg for comparison. The question is, should I keep them to wear over jeans, should I have my excellent cobbler shorten them, or should I sell them and buy slightly shorter, zippered boots instead?

I finally found the right place for photos: inside my roommate's empty closet! It has a mirror and the only south-facing window in the house.
