Smells like rain.

Maxi gown- H&M bohemian floral maxi size 2 (Ebay)
Cropped cardigan- LOFT size XXSP
Bandeau- American Eagle
Heels- Nine West in size 6
Down where I live, people will say that it will smell like rain. Apparently, it is more of a southern thing to say since none else has heard it. During out little visit to the art museum, Mr. B was hastier than usual in taking the photos (also we were both starving) and kept commenting how the bottom was going to fall out (torrential, sheet-like rain) and how it smells like rain. Lo' behold, within seconds of the last photo that was snapped, it started to rain.

I shrugged it off, thinking the storm wouldn't hit too soon.



Yea, it rained like nobody's business soon after these photos were taken. Blah, blah he said "I told you so" but I fed him food and he stopped teasing me. =0P






 If this maxi dress looks familiar, Khatu wore this in her engagement post series. I couldn't find it in stores and bought one on Ebay. I wish I can be at a tropical location to really sport the bohemian feel to this dress. Guess a soft, cropped cardigan will do the trick in toning it down for suburban wear? =0P

You look totally fabulous in that dress, I love it!! (btw, we say smells like rain all the time ;)

Cee said...

Oh my gosh, you look so gorgeous and statuesque in this dress. Seriously, it fits you to perfection. I remember the Gisele ad and thought the tiers were shorter in the front than the back, so I passed. But... now I really wish I had taken the time to seek one out in stores!

Such a beautiful maxi dress! I like the contrast of his dress against a gray rainy day. We can pretty much say it smells like rain everyday. Rain smells like wet pavement to me.

Length is so great on you. Did you hem it or did it just fit off the rack?

My sister says she can feel when it's going to rain, so pretty close :) And we are in California.

By the way, my new haircut is in my second to last blog post about the Capsule Design Festival in SF near the bottom. let me know what you think!! :)
