OOTD #2


We finally got some much needed rain and HUZZAH HORRAY wildflowers have started blooming everywhere. Which is beautiful, but allergy-ful. That in mind, I popped a Claritin and headed out in search of wildflowers.Well, mostly Bluebonnets - this is Texas, after all.


Knowing I was going to be walking around outside for quite a bit, I tried to plan accordingly: SPF 15 Moisturizer for my face, sunglasses for my eyes, and comfy clothes for ... my body.

My ever trusty and much worn sunglasses were a birthday present several years ago and have gotten me through many a bright day.


I decided to sockbun my hair for 3 reasons:
1. I slept with it up so it was a mess
2. It's hella windy outside and
3. I hadn't gotten the chance to try the midsize sockbun I bought at H&M a few weeks ago and I wanted to.
(ps: H&M's sock bun thingies are super cheap and easy to use so there's not really any need to go crazy and get one that costs more than 3$)

The only downside to sockbunning my hair is that it really emphasizes how long it's been since I've gotten my hair dyed. But, like, an inch and a half of roots is a fashion thing, right? Yeaaaah... That's what I'm gonna go with.

I kept my outfit simple: long sleeve scoop neck shirt, rolled up jeans, and boots. In hindsight, the boots probably weren't the most practical shoes I could've worn to go traipsing around in fields but whateverrr. They are very comfy and very cute. Plus: yay for feet ventilation. 
I found a necklace (that I had completely forgotten about. I think I need to re-organize my jewelry) I bought on my last day in New Zealand, and the nail polish is from several days ago. I have a post on the brand (Formula X) coming up in the next few weeks because it's thebomb.com/supergreat so I won't say much other than I am in love.  

But for the most important part of this post: I now present the wildflowers I found. I'm forever sad that it's illegal to pick Bluebonnets in Texas. I want to press some and make pretty pretty art things. But noooo. I'm not allowed. Pah.
