Copper Among the Trees and Me

Outfit Details: Dress & Belt (Forever21) Jacket & Tights (TJmaxx) Boots (White Mountain)

My outfit pictures are intentional outings. Every time I explore new places, I make mental notes for future outfit settings. This bridge is part of a trail I used to run every week, it leads to the ocean side at the edge of a cliff. In heels it might have been a bit treacherous to walk the whole path, so I settled for this halfway spot. All the leaves had already abandoned their trees and the creek was silent that evening. It was beautiful and peaceful, a clash against all of the anxiety I'd been hoarding that day. 

For so long these outfit pictures have given me an opportunity to overcome my anxiety and explore. It's hard to go to new places alone, and setting myself up with the goal of pictures like these has managed to make it a little easier. 

And a small bonus in this set of pictures is having a dress that matches the copper shades of your hair.

Hoping your week was wonderful.

That One Shirt

Outfit Details: Shirt (forever21) Shorts & Booties (TJmaxx) Sweater (second-hand) Necklace (vintage)

Do you ever find yourself owning a shirt that you love, but just can't figure out how to wear? This is that shirt. I've owned it some five years and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Well, maybe.

Hope everyone's summer is sunny and warm with a couple of rainy days for catching up on Netflix.

Jacket & Tights: TJmaxx

Skirt & Shirt (prague): Forever21

Boots: DSW

Slowly, I've been failing in love with Prague. We had a rocky start. But now here we are, I'm little more than a month from my departure date and just at the thought my heart begins to ache. I hope the experiences and memories I've gained from my time here will last a lifetime, but I'm getting ahead of myself. For now, let's just enjoy the view.

It's been a long time coming, but here it is at last: my first Prague outfit post!

With a new address and an enticing new city, I've been more focused on exploring than fashion. The day I took these photos it was a little chilly out and the perfect chance to bring out my new dress. I forgot how much I love dressing up. Not even dressing up, but maybe dressing with intention. My style has always been a big part of my identity and when I'm busy I tend to tone it down for more casual pieces. Those days I always feel a little less me.

As they say in Prague ,,Mĕj se hezky!" (Have a good day!)

The Everyday Days

Outfit Details:

Jacket & Shirt: TJmax

Jeans: Forever21

Boots: DWS

Necklace: Lace Affair
Ring: Belgium

So this is what I actually wear on a more every day style. For while I love dresses and skirts, my adventures often require more "practical" clothing. Sometimes, really, you just need jeans and then probably combat boots - but that just might be me.

Fall Mornings

Outfit Details:

Sweater & Shirt: TJmaxx

Shorts & Boots & Rings: Forever21

Tights & Socks: Target

Necklace: Lace Affair

The hair was chopped off and the bottom bleached. I've had my regular red hair for so long, I was glad to change it up a little. By now most of the color has gone, so I'm planning to go a little bit wilder next time. 

As I'm editing these warm fall photos, I'm huddled next to a fire waiting out a snow storm. I often mention having a favorite season, but the truth is I love them all. Winter or fall. Especially when I have nowhere to go. 

Wind in the Hair

 Sweater: second hand 

Dress: Target 

Underdress: Forever21

 Vest: who knows 

Boots: Ebay

Necklace: gift

These are the last outfit pictures I took before I chopped off my hair. Looking back, I don't miss my long hair at all. Particularly, I enjoy it taking fifteen minutes less to brush through my easily tangled hair. Afternoons in hillside like these caused the best of tangles. 

How to Rock High Waisted Shorts

Tights & Socks: Target

I recently had to put my old laptop to bed and I've been slowly breaking in my new one, which means I've been without any photo editing software for a while - or at least one I like. But now I'm back on track with my old trusty program. I'm also learning to accept my new laptop. I may not like it yet, especially not as much as my old one, but we're growing to live with each other.

And yes, I love matching my socks to the rest of my outfit. I also love matching my socks to my hair or matching my hair to my outfit. I'm lucky I can do this and no one stares, okay this is a lie. People stare, but this is because I don't brush my hair and I have strange lace covering my legs. I don't regret it at all.

Happy first day of winter and happy birthday to my awesome mummy!

What Makes the Dress

Outfit Details:

Dress: Forever21

Vest: so old I can't remember

The Best of Times Heel: Modcloth

Necklace: Ebay

I bought this burnt, red dress with powerful ideas and good intentions. But it's always different in practice than in theory. I'm still trying to find just how to wear this little dress best. For this try I pulled out my darkest lip stain from NYX and ran with the Gothic Victorian feel. I think I'll have to try a few more pairings before I find the one that makes it.

Jacket & Shirt: Forever21

Shorts & Boots & Bracelet: Ebay

Tights & Socks: Target

Necklace & Earrings: Modcloth

I love this outfit. It composes many features that I have long loved: high waists, warm colors, and combat boots. Of course, I found a great spot to take the pictures as well because my outfit photos must have a beautiful background.

Roadside Spots

Sweater: Second hand

Shirt: Kohl's 

Skirt &  Tights: Forever21

Boots: TJmaxx

Necklace: Modcloth

Scarf: Paris

Purse & Belt: Charlotte Russe

On my way home on a day out, this little spot caught my eye. I always try to take my camera with me if I think there might be the slightest chance of squaring away some photos. From the colors of the outfit to the warmth of the trees, I love how it all plays together. There is something so enviable about the in-between weather of the seasons. 

My Harbor

Outfit Details: 

Jacket & Shirt & Scarf & Jeans & Gloves: TJmaxx

Boots: Forever21

Purse: Target

Ring: Vintage

I had no idea how much of my outfit hailed from TJmaxx when I got dressed that morning. To be fair, my relocation leaves me with fewer clothing stores and a greater love of TJ's. This scarf soon after its purchase became a staple, an everyday item that helps combat the chill. To think of it, most of these items go out quite often now - from the jeans to the gloves. Though I suppose with spring upon us they'll soon be put away. I'm perfectly content with the seasons as they are, but am, secretly, hoping for one more good snow - don't tell anyone.
