As the title suggests, here’s three things I bet you didn’t know about me:
- I always swap out my winter clothes for the summer attire the 1st weekend in June, every June.
- June is also my favorite month (and my birthday month!), as fickle as it can be, with the occasional summer rain downpour.
- Peonies are my favorite flower (pictured in this look), which, sadly, have a short blooming season, ending in early June.
This look is fully ready for the June rain, which consistently comes down on my birthday, every other year, without fail. With a 50% chance of it happening, I really don’t want it to “rain on my parade,” but just in case it does…I’m equipped for it! My pants wick away moisture, the sandals are tasked with navigating city sidewalks without a single “hydroplaning” incident,while my tote bag will repel the rain and conceal my umbrella, just like the champ that it is.

The subject line for this was taken directly from Fashion Pulse Hubby when he saw me in this outfit, which was an aha! moment for me in describing it in a straight forward form. It’s kind of grungy, but still works clean lines and a bit of femininity into it as well. I wish I could dress this effortlessly every day, but it’s so easy to make this look business meeting appropriate by merely swapping out my 8-eye Dr Martens out for a pair of patent leather black pumps. A bit of pleating and a white, fitted perforated leather jacket really lends an au courant quality to the look while my um (unintentional) roots, Ray-Bans, ribbed tights and of course, boots, feel a bit retro and certainly street-style worthy.
Have you rocked the Docs in an unconventional way?
