Adrien: Monsoon Season.

What the crap with this weather. While I'm glad we didn't get a hurricane I sure would like to see the sun eventually. On Friday morning it was pouring down rain and it's a bit of a hike from the parking lot to my building, so I dusted off my Hunter rainboots and the resulting outfit cracked me up. Why not take photos of this mess? Sure:


I'm wearing my Everlane Heavyweight striped tee which, while not the most flattering piece of clothing in my closet is basically perfect at being exactly what it is: a boxy breton style top best worn over skinny jeans. I love it. They also have a new Boxy Striped Tee which of course I want because why wouldn't I? It looks cute on Grechen. Everlane totally has my number.


Ha, I look like I should be grouse hunting or something. I'm wearing my much loved Downtown Field Jacket (Downton Field Jacket? I KILL ME.) and my new Cambridge Satchel twist lock bag. I promise there isn't a dead bird in there. The medium oxblood bag isn't in stock right now, but this little wine crossbody at J.Crew would be a very nice substitute. Or, just get Marianne's bag.


So tiresome how I keep wearing this Cluse La Bohème watch and Beaded Cone Pendant Necklace. I will try to mix it up one of these days. No promises, though.


My boots are classic green Hunter wellingtons like all the college girls wear now, though I will say they've been a solid purchase. I've had them for five years and they've held up through rain, snow and mud. In the winter I keep them in my car to wear before/after muddy bike races. Hunter has gotten very fashionable and now offers a glossy finish and fancy patterns and colors. Whatever works for you crazy kids. I only wear mine when I absolutely have to but I do enjoy watching the students clump around in them any time the skies look vaguely threatening.

  1. I feel guilty - we are having lovely fall weather (a bit overcast today, but otherwise cool, sunny and lovely). Stay dry!

  2. The Hunter boots--do they make your feet sweat? My rubber boots are like little foot saunas... just curious.

    1. Oh, for sure. I don't wear them all day, just for outside and then I change into flats.

    2. Any rubber boots will make your feet sweat, because the rubber does not "breathe". So it's good to wear them outside and then change into normal shoes when you get inside.

  3. I haven't seen anything but BLAZING SUN for ... what is this, October? so ... 11 months. SOFA KING sick of the GD sun. My heart says a little prayer every morning for a super-soaker of an El Nino ...

  4. How does the jcrew jacket fit? I'm always between a small and medium in jcrew and don't know which direction to go with this one. :)

    1. I wear a small but recently tried on the wine version and thought the small felt a bit small, so maybe a medium? I guess it depends on how much you want to layer under it.
