There are 2 photos in this post. None of them really give you a great idea of what I wore. I had a lot of plans for showing you how to tie a scarf into a bow (which apparently doesn’t photograph well but it looks really good in real life) and dazzle you all. Please let me explain to you what is happening in these photos.
Life is great, birds are singing and I am wearing polka dots so life can’t get much better.

LIFE IS OVER AND WENT TO HELL. Right after I took this photo (I was doing this on a tripod) I turned around to see where I had been sitting and there was a snake. A SNAKE I TELL YOU. I was alone so I was my only protection. I thought about getting my mace out but then I realized it was too cruel for me to do that plus I would probably just make the situation worse because the last time I tried to spray my mace I almost spray myself (another story for another day). It was basically 9ft. long (Ok, it was probably a garden snake or something else but it may as well have been 9ft.) had color, and basically had fangs. I quickly assessed the color situation thinking I actually know something about snakes (which I don’t because they scare the poo out of me), then realize I know nothing and pretty much immediately ran away. In heels. Down a hill. Locked my door. Immediately got my laptop while still shaking and wrote this.
I will do a lot of things for photos but sitting near a snake or being in the vicinity of a snake is not one of them. You see, snakes haven’t done anything personal to me, other than they exist. Therefore you can see how we do not get along.
The end.

haha you are too cute. I would have freaked out, probably let out the most horrid screech you could ever hear a human make. On the other hand you do look lovely in this outfit. And a bow tie scarf? What a brilliant idea.

I am definitely with you on this one – outfit photos are so not worth a potentially lethal snake bite.
But i'm sure we can learn how to tie an awesome scarf on another day. and i love those green pants.

A polka dot scarf sounds just about perfect. I need to do some F21 digging!!

I don't blame you for abandoning your photo location. I hate snakes too! And spiders. And rodents. Sometimes, blogging and outfit photos have to take a back seat. Regardless, these photos are beautiful and I adore the outfit! Green is such a lovely color on you!

You are so cute Alissa and that is a funny, albeit a little scary story. Love how you told the story and those last 3 sentences cracked me up. I love tying a cute silk scarf into a bow. You did a great job with this Polka-Dotted Beauty. Pinning this outfit for inspiration.
Please support me by following me. I truly do appreciate it, Ada. =)

UGH!!! I hate snakes. There was one wrapped around our front porch one day. My husband and I were going for a walk and I stepped out of the door first (didn't see the snake) and he shoved me out onto the sidewalk to get me away from it. It was probably 3-4 feet long. Eeew.

A snake. That scares me so much! I was at a cemetery a while back and nearly stood on a brown snake (the most deadly snake here in Aus) and ran so fast because I thought it was chasing me haha.

Um, LMAO!
I'm sorry but the way you wrote this was hilarious.
The color of a snake sometimes indicates that it is poisonous – I think red is considered a "warning color" in nature – so stay away from those guys 😉
