Even though Colorado has some gorgeous days during the summer, it also has some very dark, dreary, and down right cold days. Not too soon after I got to Colorado we had one of those dreary days. My body felt shocked from the cold, but I had an urge to head outside when the sun finally decided to shine through the clouds.
For a few days I had to go back to dressing for cold weather days. I completely didn’t mind, and was actually pretty excited to layer a few pieces I hadn’t worn in awhile.
My first year of college I bought this vest from UO after seeing a friend have it, and being in love with the idea of a denim vest. I recently re-discovered it and kind of fell in love with it all over again. If you look close you can see my The Format pin on the collar. The Format was my favorite band in high school. I must have seen them eight or nine times. What fun I had at their shows!
Since it had been raining on and off I opted to wear my rain boots. Since it doesn’t rain very much in Arizona, I don’t get to wear them often (and even when it does I forget about them), so I decided to jump at the opportunity to slip them on. I think every girl deserves a pair of cute rain boots in her wardrobe.
On another note, yesterday my family decided to drive from Grand Junction, CO to Denver, CO for a few days. The plan is to visit my grandparents in Thornton (where my dad grew up), and to hopefully do a little shopping as well. Before I left home I did some shopping at my local Levi’s store and they gave me a list of their stores in the Denver area (not going to lie, they were a bit sad to hear I was leaving for the summer. Scott and I are in there at least once a week browsing and visiting), so I’m hoping I can stop by at least one location (and maybe at an American Apparel too).
What are your plans for today? Do you have a pair of cute rain boots in your wardrobe?
