Sunset by the Port

Outfit Details:
Airforce Coat: Vintage

Jacket: Hottopic

Shirt: TJmaxx
Necklace: Claire's
Leggings: Target

Pants & Boots: Ebay

This is a little town, just off the main road. You'll miss it if you don't make the right turn. You'll drive right past it. Perhaps that's its magic. It's one of my favorites, and down by the port where all the boats sit and stay all nice and quiet, the sunset was magic to watch. A few cars drive in and out, they sit and watch the sunset for a few minutes. That night was cold, so the cars kept running and then they pulled away. My hands turned pink quickly. I don't come by this little port too often. I stay by the towns not so forgotten. Perhaps my own mistake.

I've had the bracelet for a long time, forever it seems. My mom said she kept it because maybe one day, when I was old, I might want it. She didn't realize I'd still be obsessed with Little Mermaid at this age. Silly her.

I should have something amazing to say, but it's been a rough week and I'm not feeling very inspiring. But I didn't want to forgo my outfit post, mainly out of loyalty to myself, so here it is. As for the outfit, strange as it is for a redhead-unnaturally I'll admit-I love this color on me, especially when I have earrings to match.

Wendy Dress

Most recently I haven't been able to figure out what I've wanted to wear. I know that everyone has those days. But it was more frustrating than normal. I went through some of my staple pieces, but none seemed to look right. I spent an hour going through my clothes. (Actually I spent the time of an entire Eureka episode and plus a little more) I made up a couple of outfits, but none were weather appropriate. I was at this awkward stage stuck between winter and spring.

Eventually I chose this dress to wear. I haven't worn it too much because it needs a special backless bra. Do we mention the unmentionables here? I found this dress on Lace Affair back in January and instantly fell in love with it. It's their Wendy dress and very appropriately named with its peter pan collar  As I prefer to do when shopping online, I slept on it for a while, double checked the sizing, and then finally caved.

The dress arrived when I was desperately sick. Puffy nose, blotchy skin, and an itchy throat. Still, I was too excited to not try it on. So, I stumbled into the dress and instantly fell in love. I was glad, because after ordering it I wondered just if it be as cool as I remembered.

I wore it first on what ended up being a long day of shopping, museum hunting, and dinner. I was amazed at how comfortable it was through the whole thing. Even better, my backless bra stayed in place through the whole day.

I paired it with bright tights and super bright red lipstick to make up for the darkness. I think with this dress it's important to wear the hair up, to show off the back. The first time I wore it I did a faux bob. But this time I wanted to be a little more vintage-y. It was also the perfect day to wear it, because I went shopping and ended buying Peter Pan on DVD. The irony wasn't lost on me.

Maxi Redress

Lace Sweater: Hottopic

Moonlight Sonita Shirt: Ruche

Maxi skirt: dress used as skirt from Kohl's

Necklace: Lace Affair

Rings: Vintage

Shoes: Forever21

After seeing the new Ruche look book  I was inspired by the hair styles. So I tried my hand at one of the styles. It's familiar to one that I've sported before here. It took longer than I liked, but I think I could learn to cut the time down and maybe make it more me. 

It was surprisingly warm the day I took these photos. The snow only kept in the shade and the next day it was gone. And for a couple of days after it was in the high fifties, but now it's beginning to feel like winter again. I'm restlessly waiting for the chance to wear lighter things. I already have a growing list of outfit ideas. Spring, here I come!

Professor Patches

Airforce Coat: Vintage

Sweater: Target (thrifted/hand me downs)

Dress: Spotted Moth

Tights & Shoes & Hat: Target

Scarf: Belgium

Purse: Charlotte Russe

Earrings: Body Central

Puppy: Ollie

My ears are as red as my hair. The hat offered little protection from the snow and wind. I love corn fields, especially after the harvest and preferably when there isn't too much mud to track back into the house. The frozen ground offered a perfect traipsing land. While the bitter, freezing weather might have derailed my plans of exploring I love running around with my puppies.

This dress is one of my favorites that I own. However, I haven't worn it as much as I would like because of practicallity. It's a little too light for winter and short, especially with the wind. I tucked another skirt underneath this time I wore it, and it made it much more comfortable. I love colors of nature, I love nature in case I haven't made that clear yet. Even as I look over these pictures, my heart speeds up at the thought of the outdoors. I'm such a geek for that stuff. As girly as I am when it comes to clothes, hair, and makeup I am still that country girl I was raised to be. The one that had the whole world to be my playground. I was so spoiled. 

This sweater was a donation from my friend. As it no longer fit her, I got it. I have a soft spot for professor elbow patches. I also thought that the sweater went perfectly with the undertones of this dress.

I haven't tried to omit the fact that I am a full on sci-fi geek. Most days, though, I like to keep this to myself, however the sonic screwdriver in my purse sometimes gives me away. I grew up on Star Trek and Star Wars. Stargate was more my brother's show that I watched from time to time. Recently I've started watching it again. Mainly because Michael Shanks is in it and in admittance to more sci-fi-ness, I'm a sucker for Smallville. 

Driving home one day I crossed this cemetery and for some reason that trellis reminded me of the stargate. Though, honestly, it's more like a holodeck door I suppose. Still I dressed up and made sure to take some pictures . . . in the rain. But we must suffer for scenery.
