Feel the Rain

 It's dark and gloomy and cold and wet here in Portland, which upsets me greatly because yesterday (a day that I spent 100% of my time either in class, at a modeling casting call, or waiting for my cab) was absolutely gorgeous and one of the first "warmer" days we've had this spring! I'm hoping that my weather app on my phone is lying to me when it says it's supposed to stay this nasty until Tuesday. :( I couldn't let that stop me from wearing these shoes though. I hope you all are having better weather where ever you are! As a wise man once said, "Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet." And yes, that's another Dylan quote for ya'.

XtraTuf

 There's more pictures of the scenery today than anything. I almost didn't share this outfit with you because I didn't get a lot of pictures of it due to a stomach ache, and because it wasn't that exciting in my eyes. I actually received a lot of compliments walking around, from both women and men who were admiring my courage in wearing XtraTuf boots. 

XtraTufs aren't exactly a fashionable choice, however they are a fashion statement and a direct link to my home. Where I'm from, everybody owns a pair of these boots. It always makes me laugh a little when I think about the fact that Portland is one of the rainiest cities in the country, and everybody spends 100 dollars a year on rain boots from Nordstroms that will end up needing to be replaced. My mom bought me these to replace my old ones that I had throughout high school, which I had for trolling up and down the beach and picking fish. These ones are a lot shinier, but it's nice to have a little bit of home with me in my outfit. That in itself is worth posting about. (Plus, I think the boots are damn cute. But that could be just me.)
