ruined by the rain

So today I wore this adorable vintage shirtdress to work - see it here, as you're not going to see it at all in the post today. And why is that, you may ask? Because it's soaking wet! My supervisor at the office took me and a few of the other interns to the state capitol today to sit in on a meeting between our State Senate Majority Leader and a visiting group (this one happened to be made up of Parliamentarians from the U.K. - a.k.a. amazing accents ^^). But as the meeting went on, the weather got uglier and uglier outside, and when it was over we had to make a run for it to the car. Long story short, I was basically a wet tshirt contest, and got to go home early since it would be inhumane to make me sit at my desk for another hour in a damp dress. The end. Outfit change:

vera vera wang cardigan

martin&osa tshirt and shorts

thrifted belt

 nordstrom bp watch

toms shoes

Oh  how I love this cardigan! It's so perfect for days when it's just a bit chilly and damp and you want to curl up in something fuzzy :) Never mind that it's basically the length of my shorts, I'm sure no one minds. Also, note the head cut off in most of these photos? Sorry about that, once again it was not intentional. Sigh, the trials of self-photographing

 Whenever I wear these shorts, I just feel required to wear this belt along with it! I don't know why, but they just look so perfect together - very utilitarian-chic. 

So besides my meeting at the capitol (which was lots of fun despite the weather, by the way. The parliamentarians seemed so nice! Wish I could've actually chatted with them) I haven't done much today! Made myself some pasta in lieu of going to Noodles&Company, which turned out to be a bit disappointing - I'm really craving some good pesto! In other news, I've finally reached 100 followers! I know, you are probably looking at the sidebar and thinking "no, no you haven't. You are currently at 87. Close Alison, but no cigar" - I, however, am also counting my bloglovin followers, which puts me in at 103. Sooo, I'm going to do my first giveaway! Not positive what all it's going to be yet, but I should put it up this week, so stay tuned! I know that in the grand scheme of things 100 isn't that many, but I just want to thank everyone for reading and commenting, it makes me quite happy. xx love you all
