Casually Rugged - F&M

"Its raining outside???" -what I wish Pete had said

This picture is also from that horribly soggy day last week and what struck me was the fact that Pete here still bothered to try and look, well...business like. I know when its rainy and dreary outside I try to stray away from wearing khakis because of the thinness of the material. Pete however stayed the course and it looks like the khakis are no worse for the wear. The only evidence of the conditions of the day are his soaked umbrella and the rugged shoots (I call boots that look like shoes shoots) he's wearing, hence I have dubbed this casually rugged.

Rainy Day En Negro - F&M

Erika's all black everything.

What a horribly rainy day it was when I took this picture. Being more of a fan of snow, I couldn't help but imagine what epic snow mounds that rain would have been if this had happened in December...but I digress. Erika's outfit would not have withstood a wintry blast. The all black (everything) caught my eye as I was closing my window to keep the rain in its natural element. On a very depressing day, it was the darkest color of them all that added a little life to it...at least for me.

Also this post inaugurates a new label: ABE, which means all black everything. I don't know how many ABE's this blog will see...but I'm game to find out.
