Secret Garden

- Top & Belt: Gap - Skirt: Old Navy - Shoes: Shoe Carnival - Bag: Nine West via Ross
- Necklace: The Word Jewelry (giveaway prize) - Bracelet: Victoria's Secret
So rainy Sunday mornings are the best right? I've always thought so, until this rainy Sunday morning. The storm that blew in around 9 in the morning caused me to wake up with a killer migraine at 7 am. The pressure change really did me in. I'm talking a sobbing into my pillow, waking up Ryan and asking for a head massage type migraine. Thankfully after an hour, and with the massage, Advil and prayer, I was able to fall back asleep. By 9:30 the rain on our window woke me up and I was back to normal! We got everyone ready and drove to church through the rain. By the time church ended the clouds had retreated and the sun was back out at full force. We snapped these pictures of my outfit in a sweet little spot on the side of our apartments where the bougainvilleas grow. It's not a secret garden, but I can pretend. The top and belt are from my recent Gap shopping trip (I have to knot the belt on since it's a few sizes too big!), and the corduroy skirt and pointy heels are from at least three or four years ago! I like mixing old with new and I'm attempting to get more use out of items in my closet I haven't worn in a while!

  3. Thanks everyone! The ground dried up super quickly, but it was actually pouring for over an hour! The migraine was a small price to pay for the rain though, we needed it down here!
