The Garden's View

 Outfit Details:
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.

That's Prague in the Distance

 Outfit Details:

Jacket & Scarf: TJmaxx

Dress: Forever21 (prague)

Boots: DSW

Tights & Socks: Target

Luxe and Wanderlust Necklace: Modcloth

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!)

Oh, My Darling Harbor

Outfit Details:

Sweater & Dress: Kohl's

Skirt: Thrifted

Necklace: Lace Affair

Boots: DSW

With the most recent hop across the pond, I wanted to see if I could ditch the old snap and shoot camera and use only my camera phone. So when I visited Maine this past August I tested it out and I was surprisingly pleased with my results. What it boils down to is that now I need to carry one less thing. Hurrah!

Also this skirt should get special mention. One of my best friends bought it for me and then my awesome mom helped make some size adjustments. So basically now whenever I wear it now I have superpowers.

Have a good weekend!

Picnic Dress by the Lake

Outfit Details:

Pretty - Pretty Picnic Dress & Luxe and Wanderlust Necklace & Best of Times Heel: Modcloth

Lakeside is one of my favorite places. Often I've documented my favorite outfit there (like this one and this one). This dress is still awaiting the perfect occasion to show it off, which, like the title, I imagine to be a picnic.

Blue in the Cemetery

 Outfit Details:

Vest & Tights: TJmaxx

Dress: Kohl's

From the Same Cloth Boots: Modcloth
Necklace: Lace Affair

This is still one of my favorite places. Being back in my home town for a couple of months this summer meant I got to walk down memory lane. This spot was a frequent participant in some shenanigans with my best friend (meaning we took many walks here and told each other scary stories).

Actually, October is when it's most beautiful. The trees there are the most vibrant. Til next year, little cemetery.

Little Town Murals

 Outfit Details:

Cardigan: Target

Shirt & Jeans: Kohl's

Boots: TJmaxx

Necklace: Modcloth

This mural popped up in my hometown, a few years back. There was a big to do about it. They talked about banning murals altogether, small town and all that. But the controversy calmed and the mural still stands. I like it. I like the color (literal and otherwise) that it brings to the place where I grew up. Also, of course, it's a great background for outfit photos.

Those Copper Beachs

Outfit Details:

Jacket & Boots & Necklace: Gifts

Shirt & Tights: TJmaxx

Afternoon at the Oasis Dress: Modcloth

One of my favorite things about Maine beaches are the rocks. There is something wildly alluring about them and not just in Maine. Rocks along any shore are thrilling to me. I am somewhat of a nature girl, because the moment I'm in it I get all dewy-eyed and breathless. That's one great thing about Prague, so far, despite being a city terrain there are nature and parks abound.

My Backyard

Outfit Details:

Cardigan: Target
   Shirt: Kohl's

Jeans: TJmaxx

Boots: DSW

Pirates of the Carribean Necklace: Claire's

Earrings: Modcloth

As the title so explains, this is (was) my backyard. The hammock was the best, however I've left the yard and hammock in Maine.

Right now, I'm getting situated to Prague, which means I'm trying finding the best cafe and the cheapest bookstore around. A little cold has slowed down my pace, but nothing can really keep an explorer down for too long.

Until next time,
.Misha.

The Girl with the Fire Hair

Outfit Details:

Shirt & Jeans: TJmaxx

Boots: DSW

Bag: Amazon

Necklace & Ring: Gifts

True Story: when my hair was first dyed like this I was extremely self conscious. I felt like everyone was staring and judging me for my "wild" hair. So, I combated the feeling with wearing my darkest shade lipstick, and somehow it worked. Now the flame hair has become just another part of my appearance. Which basically means, if you want to try a wild look, just try it and eventually it might not seem so wild.

B(l)ack on the Beach

 Outfit Details:

Jacket & Dress & Tights: TJmaxx

Boots: DSW

Necklace: Modcloth

I don't know why I love that last photo so much. Maybe because it reflects most of the faces I make on camera. The ones you end up seeing are the rare moments where my hand isn't hovering in mid air and my eyes aren't crossed.

Visiting Quebec City

Outfit Details:

Top & Boots & Tights: TJmaxx

Schooltime Sparkle Skirt: Modcoth

Necklace: Lace Affair

I went to Quebec this past March, cross that adventure off my bucket list, and (tried) to brush up on my French. I stayed in a cute little hotel near the center of town (Auberge Place D'armes) and loved it. The city was still packed with snow and ice - and ever as beautiful. I inhaled espresso and poutine every meal time and found poutine flavored potato chips to take back home. Old Quebec definitely became one of my favorites places. 

The photos are mostly from my phone, because while I remembered my camera, I forgot my tripod. It was a balancing act on top of clothes and books and tables to get the right angle- in the end they came out well. My camera is a little worse for wear nowadays and I might have to look into switching permanently to my phone for these types of pictures. 

But, of course, the true point of the story is that if you ever get the chance to visit Quebec City, do it. Even if it's winter, cause it's just as gorgeous.

Bridges, Of Course

Outfit Details:

Coat & Shirt: Kohl's

Craft Party Dress: Modcloth

Boots: DSW

Necklace: Hottopic

Peter Pan Scarf: Amazon

Bridges make for great photo taking. I would always drive by this bridge on my way to the big city. And if we've learned nothing else, we know that I'm always on the look out for a great outfit backdrop. 

The outfit itself, I'm rather proud of because all of these (say for the boots, but they don't count) have been in my closet for years. I love finding an old piece and a new way to wear it.

P.S. the scarf is also new. I completely forgot it was in the photos. 

How Not to Stay Still

Outfit Details:
Coat: Kohl's
Science Fair Flair Dress & From the Same Cloth Boots: Modcloth
Tights: Target
Scarf: TJmaxx
Necklace: Lace Affair

My, oh my, how the days have changed us. These photos are from December if that says anything. I disappeared for a while, which was the blame of a crashed computer and real life changes. My computer is running again and my life is continuing to change. Neither am I against.

These photos are from a cold winter's eve when the sky enticed me to come out for a while. The dress became a staple in my collection, especially since my work changed from uniforms to business casual. The boots are my favorite booties, only in a different color. The original color choice can be seen here and here.

I'll try to keep you guys up to date on my life changes. Currently, I've made the transfer from Maine to Ohio, temporarily. Later I'll be getting in a plane and going to Europe for a while. I doubt that surprises anyone. I've said it before I'm not good at staying still.

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.

The Harbor's Sunsets

Outfit Details:

Jacket & Shirt: TJmaxx

Skirt: Kohl's

Gloves & Tights: Target

Boots: DSW 

You might not be able to tell, but it was freezing and it was the middle of December. I've made the walk down to this little harbor many times. When I find it at a late hour like this, right at sunset, it is at its best.
