the slouch and not in style edition

Hey Bear, aren't you embarassed to be seen with such a dorky woman?

What to wear to take the dogs to the beach at low tide for rambles through tidal pools.

Start with black shirt & quick dry running shorts (from MEC!) Good start. Can't go wrong with basic black.
Make first questionable decision with red baseball cap because I couldn't find my drab olive green one.

Try to recover from by coordinating Darwin's grey long line with my grey strapped LeSportSac purse (in the My Buddy pattern with dogs all over it, of course.)

Wreck it all with adding another color in the mandatory glove. The glove - dorky as it is - is required if you're going to keep a dog on a long line in wet & sandy environments, and want to actually be able to a) hold the line and b) keep skin on your hands. Outings to the beach with Darwin involve gloves. Purple was an interesting choice as it happens to be the color of my Pam Dennison Recall Whistle (around my neck) and my box clicker (on my right wrist and so not visible in top photo.) See, I was trying to pull the look together with accessories!

Well on my way to dressing with lots of bright colors like a demented 5 year old, notice the bright orange poop bag sticking out of my pocket; I've coordinated that with my crocs, which yeah, are hideous shoes, but are just perfect for tidal pools. You can see them below & you can almost see my purple clicker but not quite; it's on that black wrist wrap.

Add interest to the lower half of the outfit & improve your hip line by making sure pockets are bulging.

It's a nice addition to have ziploc bags of sausage actually half falling out of your pockets. You know those peekaboo silk hankies in a men's suit jacket? SAME principle.

And hey, remember when I posted about dog training being a pain in the neck and said I slouch? You probably thought I was exaggerating. Hah. I offer you proof of my super duper slouchy power.
'Cause you know, posture makes the outfit!
