always wear rubbers

Dress: Forever21. Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Black necklace: LF. Silver necklace: Foley & Corinna. Wellies: Rickys. Shades: Ray Ban. Large black and large triple amber rings: New Orleans street vendor (will do a separate post on the rings and the vendor's jewellery). Nails: Sally Hansen 'Pixel Pretty'
Here's the first batch of shots taken at Jazz Fest (this was Sunday).
It rained off and on and I couldn't give a toss. Fling on a pair of rubber wellies and your good to go.
See you soon for the next lot.
God. I haven't even unpacked yet....

  8. Your height allows you to pull everything off. Wellies with a crochet dress..I would look like a damn fool! So sorry it rained, but you look gorge!

  9. You look adorable! Haha, I'm sure you know this, but "rubbers" so doesn't mean rain boots in American English, so I of course busted a gut laughing when I read the post title. So you know thanks for the safe sex advice. Wrap it up and all that.

    Also, those rings are seriously wicked. I bought a fantastic ring the last time I was in New Orleans, then totally left it at someone's house. And they never sent it back. Epic fail.

    Hope you had an amazing time!

  49. First of all: amazing rainy weather outdoor jazz fest outfit-- have you heard of the jazz fest Montreal hosts every July? I've been to some of the free venues like once, but sooo many people the world around flock here for it every summer.
    secondly, LOVE that you wore white in the rain! amazing! and the thing is with the crochet and the wellies, it doesn't even scream, "she's wearing white in the rain!" lol
    third, absolutely adore the way this dress falls on you and how your bra is just peek a boo enough.
    seriously impeccable outfit!
