Me, First Day

So here I am, in my first day of the fair outfit for this year.

There are always so many considerations: the weather (today was cloudy and chillier than usual, in the mid-60s), the activities (I volunteered at the info booth today, so I had to wear something over which I could layer my official volunteer t-shirt, but I had no kids with me, so I could wear slightly more delicate things than usual, and a shorter skirt, since I would not be sitting on the ground), the footwear (see comment below about the need for boots).

I also like to select all three days' worth of outfits at once, so I can get out the door quickly each morning. 

So I have on an antique Victorian white cotton lawn camisole under a vintage 1950s olive wool cardigan, a denim mini-skirt I found at my favorite local consignment shop for $5, over-the-knee cotton socks with bright flowers up the sides (from Anthropologie awhile back, I think?), and the cowboy boots I bought in Austin, Texas six years ago.  Oh, and a woven tote bag that belonged to my mother.
