You pretty much have to accept the mud to ride out here I did have a good giggle to myself that I was wearing cashmere out in the mud, even if it was just one of hubby's old sweaters. What can I say, YLF to the core ^^</p> <p>Shevia, oh I definitely got muddy! The full helmet helps with my face, gloves with the hands, and the rear fender does an impressive job at keeping most mud off my back. But the pants and boots get totally mucky. I also don't do much yet, I'm still learning; I've seen how my very skilled hubby looks when <i>he</i> returns!&nbsp;Plus the water actually seems to help wash some of it off hehe.For you, a photo just after we got back to the truck --&nbsp;I don't even have my hat on yet. A full change of clothes does wonders!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262650 Wed, 28 May 2014 01:25:06 +0000 Anonymous 1262650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had lots of fun all weekend! Outfit looks great. I especially love the checkered flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262645 Wed, 28 May 2014 01:17:33 +0000 Jaime 1262645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot believe you came through that mud and managed to look to fresh and clean. Love the bf jeans with the checkerboard shoes with the brights. (Straw hats are the best for the heat.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262641 Wed, 28 May 2014 01:13:42 +0000 Angie 1262641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are SO FUN and ADORABLE, Aida.

Love the post riding outfit, you certainly look no worse for wear pretty fabulous! I think the splashing mud would bother me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262501 Tue, 27 May 2014 23:13:31 +0000 Aida 1262501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ladywone, Kelly, and Karie!</p> <p>Kelly, the sweater is a red-orange but still an orange. It's tough to photograph!</p> <p>Karie, hah I didn't even think of the checks going with the theme, now that's clever ^^ EDIT: I'm not going to win any races, that's for sure. <a href="http://37.media.tumblr.com/5d727ac0249627f2bc9a33c54b20e5ce/tumblr_n69byfzX2L1r584afo1_400.gif" rel="nofollow">This gif</a> is slow, just like I am ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262396 Tue, 27 May 2014 21:30:41 +0000 Karie 1262396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you had loads of fun! I love your action shots, thanks for sharing. Your outfit looks perfect for a casual dinner out. The checked flag-like shoes are super fun and appropriate given the day's adventures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262317 Tue, 27 May 2014 20:15:16 +0000 kellygirl 1262317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I love the orange, blue and white! So pretty and fresh on you! (The sweater looks red on my monitor but if you say it's orange, I'll take your word for it.) Dirt bike riding looks like muddy fun. Glad you had a great birthday weekend too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262311 Tue, 27 May 2014 19:53:53 +0000 Ledonna N. 1262311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab What an exciting time and happy Birthday weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0526-birthday-edition-2014-getting-dirty#post-1262305 Tue, 27 May 2014 19:46:56 +0000 Aida 1262305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We closed out my <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0524-birthday-edition-2014" rel="nofollow">birthday weekend</a> with a fun afternoon of very muddy dirt biking! It was a beautiful day with beautiful scenery. Everything was very lush and soooo&nbsp;<i>green</i> and springy. Plus there were puddles EVERYwhere. I got myself stuck a few times and got my fill of splashing around. The bikes&nbsp;were appropriately dirty by the time we finished, as were we&nbsp;^^ [EDIT: for fun,&nbsp;<a href="http://37.media.tumblr.com/5d727ac0249627f2bc9a33c54b20e5ce/tumblr_n69byfzX2L1r584afo1_400.gif" rel="nofollow">a gif</a>]</p> <p>At my husband's suggestion I brought a separate set of clean clothing to change into after riding. Probably the best sartorial approach versus trying to find something that pulls double duty -- it allowed me to be totally worry free about what I was wearing whether that was for packing, riding, or whatever we do on either end (we often eat breakfast out on the way up and/or a meal out on the way home). I am still working on getting dedicated dirt bike&nbsp;gear, but for now I wore an old&nbsp;cotton/cashmere sweater and thick black work pants with my street riding boots and armored gloves. Easy to launder and no biggie when they get muddied up.</p> <p>After all the bike stuff was done and packed up, I changed into the casual outfit in #1 for the rest of the evening (a favorite color combo: orange + blue + white, this time with a shot of red thrown in there). The hat was necessary to disguise some <i>serious</i> helmet hair I am definitely going to need some summery openweave hats! We stopped for dinner at a little restaurant on the way home and I felt great because I wasn't concerned about looking grimy nor geary. Still getting used to the new camera, so far so good (if a little inconsistent).</p> <p>Available items collected below. Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome.</p>
