it's gonna be a bright, bright sun-shiny day

well, it was earlier anyway... now the afternoon thunderstorms are rolling through (summer in the south) and it's that awesome post-rain air outside - and a little cooler than the previous heat index of 106 which is something at least. 

i really like rain. in fact, i said to my BFF (who's getting married in October) that if i were getting married I'd pray for rain. pouring, drenching, rain. she agreed to disagree. 

so, before the impending rainstorm the BF and i went to the park with our puppy and he took a few photos of the new red dress i mentioned earlier ($3 thrift) to show off. we'd hit the antique mall earlier in the day and i came really close to buying an awesome bow pin that was gold with little tiny seed pearls all over it but they wanted waaay to much for it (i'm spoiled from thrifing) and i remembered that i already have a bow pin (duh.) so i came home and doubled up on the bows - one pinned on and one on the headband (which practically blends into my freshly bleached hair)! i did however purchase the scarf tied to my bag for $1.50!
