It’s been cooler today. Actually, it’s been miserable today. I stepped outside this morning with my umbrella in hand and thought “Oh, it’s not that damp! What a pleasant surprise!” And seconds later, quite rightly in face of my smugness, the heavens opened.

I ended up walking most of the way to work barefoot. My masterplan of wearing jelly shoes to save anything less than waterproof from getting wet backfired rather as my feet got increasingly slippery… and I soon tired of leaving a shoe behind with every other step! By the time I arrived at work everything from the waist down was dripping. Thanks to the pointy hem on my skirt I left pretty little puddle-patterns everywhere I walked. See, even when I’m making a mess I try to do so aesthetically!

jelly shoes: Primark

I was very grateful that, although there was a downpour 30 mins before I left and 20 mins after I got home, my walk back from work stayed dry. My feet may have splashed in a couple of puddles on the way… but that may just have been deliberate!
