We live in the bible belt. It's a strange place to be after growing up in agnostic, politically correct Washington D.C. Nearly every corner has a church of some denomination or other. And we're aren't just limited to Christianity. We are home to nearly as many mosques, synagogues, meeting houses and temples (the largest Hindu temple in the States is right down the road from us).
This afternoon we happened upon a neglected Baptist church just down the road from our 'rents new place. We stopped to take some pictures and to get upbraided by a passerby for not going to church on Sunday. I guess our outfits gave us away. Next time we'll wear hats.
No hat, but Cath's gladiators (Nine West) are pretty sweet.
To church, I inappropriately wore a pink bandeau and tank from American Apparel, some cutoffs and work boots from Target.
Edit: don't worry, dear readers, that is no cigarette in my hand- just my El Bar key chain turned sideways (therefore, no cancer, but my liver might have to worry).

Hi there-hope you are settled in to your new home now and lovely pictures too!
Great boots!

You should see how some people dress to church these days though...time has certainly change. I would like to wear gloves & fab hat for my Sunday Best! Amazzzing Grace~
Bible Belt, I knew, but had no idea you two were living in a spot that drew the faithful from so many non-Christian religions!
Eee he he he! You are so cute! You two are the pastors of your own fashion religion.
lauren, it looks like you're holding a cigarette!
Yes, Cath gladiator are SWEET!
@j.wi: I thought its a ciggy too.

Those gladiators are fantastic! I've always been a fan of Nine West, but unfortunately the European version has a suckier range at higher prices. Love the cut-offs + boots look as well!
Those boots are deadly amazing! It's too hot here to wear boots in the summer...

I'm agnostic too, but judging from your photos churches make great locations for impromptu outfit photo shoots!
you guys are so adorable...love both our your outfits and always love reading your commentary:)
Those gladiators look fantastic. And I remember the church near me closed down, and for like a month it pretty much became a crack den. I did break through the window once just to take photographs of the inside, it was rather pretty...just had to watch out for where I stepped!
you guys are so cute! i love that you stopped to take photos...i'm glad you enjoyed my crazed caffeine blitz :)
cute outfits! I'm sure hats would have made all the difference :P
The church I go to (once a year because I hate church and am a bad Christian), many people wear that sorta thing. You just need to pose outside of a relaxed church :P
You guys look great! I love the gladiator sandals and the hint of the pink bra!!! Hot!
Ha! I love that you were upbraided.
Perhaps it's the years of catholic schooling, but I think I'm far too comfortable in churches...
ps. I don't really think a girl can carry/wear anything and it end up being too manly. Girls always look super cool in the manliest gear. Like I could never walk around with spurs on...but a girl totally could.
You both look so cute. Work boots from Tarjayyyy?! Must investigate cuz you're rocking them out.
haha....yea def cant say that outfit would fly in any of our Roman Catholic churches here in Toronto BUT nonetheless....LOVE it...super cute ...esp the last shot
Lol, at first I was like whahhhht? then I realized you didn't actually go to church. Those boots are from Target? Ahhh... they're awesome!
Wow, those boots from Target are great and love the gladiator sandals too!

at bonnaroo, there was some man handing out pamphlets that stated that sex is not the way into jesus' heart.
love the shorts :*
i like the summer comfy outfits! especially in this heat
WHOA, tell me you are El Bar fans! It's literally two buildings down from our place on Ponce and a fav hangout spot. Maybe we need to be real-life friends.
Hahaha "Next time we'll wear hats". That should take care of it! PS. I dig the way the pockets peek out of Lar's shorts... not exactly appropriate for church, but perfect for a secular sunday in hotlanta!
Wish I could pull off those shorty-shorts! You look great!
