in which raindrops keep falling on my head

It's like a rain farm around here.

Apologies for the grainy photos, my camera clearly can't function in the pouring rain. Boo. Dark and dreary days like this make me want to go to the gym for some reason. Last night I was ridiculously productive--I wrote for several hours and now am hovering right around 30,000 words. The novel is coming along nicely!

I originally bought this fabulous fall dress with the intention to immediately hem it into a mini, mostly because I feel awkward traipsing around the office in floor-length garments. But then I decided that I didn't care. I definitely plan to hem it sometime soon because I think it could easily become one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe with a higher hem, but right now I'm going to enjoy it as it is (and apparently hide it underneath a trenchcoat). I have been frustrated with this trench every since I broke the belt buckle off in my car door, but I think an actual belt is a good solution! I actually really like the way this looks.

Everybody excited about NYFW? Wish I could go--maybe someday!

  3. Love this look on you. I will understand if it gets hemmed but giving it a wear first is a good idea.
    Also love the trench with a real belt around it, I may have to try that this winter.

  4. You're such a trooper with your daily photoshoots! I barely managed to get dressed today, let alone take pictures! It's pouring here as well, meh.

  5. Caitlin, I adore these pictures. Grainy or not, they are some of my favorites of you. So mysterious! So classy! Yay for rainy days!

  6. As an Oregonian, I have to say I feel you! We get this kind of rain 60-70% of the year and it just grates on you after a while, especially when you're trying to get outfit shots! But your coat/collar combo makes up for the soggy weather, so well done!
    p.s. I'm having a giveaway on my blog if you want to check it out: http://t.co/6y9MD2B
