A little black cat named Mowgli may have my heart, but I’m actually a dog person (Mowgs just happens to act more dog-like than any other cat I’ve met). I’ve always grown up with dogs we’d rescued from the local animal shelter, and the unconditional, selfless love a dog gives you is simply unlike anything else. In honor of Pitbull Awareness month, I partnered with Milk & Honey Boutique and Baby Bow Tie to put together a post that speaks to the issue.
My boyfriend’s childhood dog had puppies a coupleo of years ago and he got to take one for himself. Being the superstitious type (he’s played baseball his whole life), he named his puppy Lucky, and I’ve also adopted him as my blonde furbaby too. While Lucky isn’t a pit bull, he is a reminder of the many dogs in shelters who need homes. Because they have been so misrepresented in the media, pit bulls make up many of those homeless animals. When they haven’t been in an abusive environments and trained to fight other animals, pit bulls are loving, sweet and good family dogs. I know from experience, dogs do a lot more rescuing for humans than we do for them. If you or your family is looking for a new furry little soul to add to your clan, consider a put bull.
As for my outfit, how amazing is this red plaid vest from Milk & Honey Boutique? I’m a big fan of the plaid trend for fall and also love layering so this piece achieves both. I recently was so excited to get a pair of over-the-knee boots this season, bur was afraid of how they’d look paired with a skirt. This pleated skirt from Milk & Honey Boutique is the perfect length to pair with them. I of course had to have Lucky clad in matching plaid. This adorable bow tie from Baby Bow Tie fit perfectly around Lucky’s collar and made him look as handsome as ever.
Fair-well xx,
