Weather Report

Today, according to my handy holidays tracker, is National Dork Day!  As I said on Facebook, this is pretty much every day for me.  I thought about making this the theme for tonight's post, but wasn't that inspired when I started looking at shoes.  And, if every day is Dork Day, that would make all of my shoes dork shoes, right?

Today is also St. Swithin's Day, which I'd never heard of and had to look up.  "St. Swithin's Day is 15 July, a day on which people watch the weather for tradition says that whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin's Day, it will continue so for the next forty days."  Huh.  See how I learn stuff from writing this blog?  Today was sunny and hot, which I'm sure it will be for the next 40 days.  No real surprise there.  Let's look at some weather inspired shoes.

Oh wow, these are awesomely random.  Meteorology tennis shoes.  Who knew?  I like them.

I've posted these before on a rainbow post, but tonight's picture was titled something like "Things Ms. Frizzle Would Wear," and since it's true and I love Ms. Frizzle, I had to share again.
 

For those of you who don't know Ms. Frizzle, she is the 3rd grad teacher in the Magic School Bus series, and her outfits are always subject-appropriate.  In the PBS series she is voiced by Lily Tomlin, which only makes her even more fabulous.

 

Back to weather.  Partly cloudy shoes.  I would wear these.

Hmmmm...Sun and clouds and rainbows.  And a penguin, an octopus, hearts,  an alien-monster...?   I have no idea what is going on with these shoes, but you'd never be bored looking at them.

Blue and cloudy!  I would add these to the canvas shoe collection.

Also blue and cloudy (and pink and cloudy).  I'm good without these, though, thanks.  Dang, that heel is tiny, I'd most likely snap it right off.

 

Ooooh...lighting shoes!  Very dramatic.

Happy St. Swithin's Day!  And if you think about it, weather shoes almost definitely fall under the category of "dork" shoes, so I say I killed two birds with one post.

Clouds

It was supposed to rain today.  At least that's what my phone told me.  But what does my phone know?  Actually, I just looked out the window and it seems to have rained about 50 drops, so I apologize to my phone.  It was cloudy all day, though, and muggy with it.  I hate muggy.  Don't get me wrong, the humidity here is nothing compared to other places.  I lived in Dallas for 3 years, so you would think I'd be used to it.  But I grew up in Montana, which basically has no humidity, so I think my body is spoiled.  At any rate, I spent a lot of the day annoyed by how sweaty my hair kept getting and cursing the humidity.  I did other stuff, too though.  Like go to Target for the second day in a row.  I went yesterday while I was running errands and got a few cleaning supplies.  When I got home I realized I had forgotten something, but figured I could pick it up today since I had to go out again.  I have no idea what that was.  I must have spent an hour wandering around Target desperately trying to figure out what the heck it was I'd forgotten.  It still hasn't come back to me.  I would like my brain cells back, please.

But enough about my faulty memory.  The Pinterest Friend recently sent me some "cloudy shoes for a cloudy day" and since today fits the bill, here we go.

Awww...cloudy baby shoes.

I actually think these are cute in a very themed way.  But hey, I like themes.  And I like blue.

Then, of course I had to go searching for more, but I have to ask myself why, because then I found these.  And these scare me.  I'm still going to try and talk the hubby into them, though, just to see the look on his face.

 

Much better.  And quite cute.

Speaking of cute.  How sweet are these?

I love these.  I want a pair for days like this when I'm annoyed with the clouds.

Poor one sad cloud.  What did the other clouds to do make it so sad?

Some nice, cloudy Mary Janes to round this out.  Hope your day was more happy clouds than grumpy!
