What Makes the Dress


Outfit Details:
Dress: Forever21
Vest: so old I can't remember
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.

Summer's Light

Outfit Details: 
Sweater: Target
Shirt & Boots: TJmaxx
Skirt: Maurice's
Necklace: gift

I kind of wish I was a fairy. At the time of choosing my outfit, I was probably wishing a little harder than normal. Your clothes can express what you're feeling or what you want to be. Little uneven hemmed skirts and grand sunset lighting in the background made it all possible for me to feel like I'd just stepped into some magical world. That just might be the magic of clothing.

Hobbitland

Outfit Details:
Sweater Vest; thrifted
Shirt: Maurices
Skirt: Kohl's
Tights & Socks: Target
Boots: TJmaxx
Necklace: gift
Bracelet: Ebay

This is a neat little preserve, about an hour from me. It's nicknamed Hobbitland because of its similar feel to the shire. I'm always for finding new spots and hideouts, and easily the best ones have babbling creeks and little stone pathways and bridges. I found no hobbits or little hobbit homes in the ground, but the little preserve is full of Maine's beauty and reminiscent of the Shire's lush green lands. 

As for me, right now I'm surviving sans internet for a week or two. I'm taking full advantage of the free wifi coffee shops and libraries have to offer  - which I don't mind too much. I hope everyone is enjoying the beauty that is fall. My favorite season! Don't tell spring.
