Winter Greens

Outfit Details:

Coat: Kohl's

Shirt: Rue21

At the Racquet of Dawn Skirt & Earrings & Best of Times Heel & Been Hangin' Abound Necklace: Modcloth

Sleeves: Belgium

I stalked this skirt on Modcloth for the longest time and when it finally came back into stock I had to pounce. The shoes are one of my favorites, I own them in two colors.

Very rarely have I tried photo taking inside, just because of lighting issues, but that winter day was perfect for it. After my usual outside setting, I sneaked back inside and got to reveal a little corner of my room, and one of my favorite reading spots. Everyone should have at least two.

Black Lace shirt: Rue21

Pants: Hottopic

Delft of Possibilities Earrings: Modcloth

Necklace: Lace affair

Rings: Belgium, France, and Vintage

Kitten: Myka

While many rejoice with a warmer fall, it tends to prove less colorful and while I know that the best colors come before the end of October, I've been impatiently waiting for a bit more red in the leaves. A few days have proved to be perfect fall days, between the grey lined skies and brisk breeze, one almost doesn't need the trees of hundreds of different colors. I turned to more neutral colors for this fall day outfit, pulling out things from my closet that I don't wear enough. But what really makes an awesome outfit is the little kitten I snagged for one of the pictures.

One More Outfit of Green

Top: Rue21

Shorts: Forever21

Purse & Shoes: Target

Necklace: Vintage

Earrings: Bodycentral

Yes, I'm totally showing off my moves in that one picture. I've never done gymnastics or ballet and I never was a cheerleader. I was a soccer player and a swimmer, but I've always been pretty flexible. Stretching is something I do for fun. Okay, now I'm just bragging. Oh, and for the record, being flexible and clumsy do not mix well, at all.

Ah, shorts, blech! I bought these little guys on a whim. I had needed shorts for a while and found these for a great deal. I hate wearing short so I hummed over the deicision for a few minutes and finally caved before I made a beeline for the cash register. They worked out rather well for me. While, it can be a little strange-as they almost match my skin-they are comfy. This is another lazy day outfit, which tends to consist of over-sized shirts and some kind of comfy pants. And yes, I might have gone a little overboard with my shades of green, but color themes are always so fun. 

Little Mermaid by the Sea

Outfit Details:

Dress: Gabriel Brothers

Shawl: Forever21

Colored Bracelet: Rue21

Necklace & chain bracelet: homemade

I mentioned my rock in the previous post, this is my rock. Since I started claiming this spot as my own, my family started calling me a mermaid. The red hair tends to reaffirm that. I should mention that I have no problem with this, there are much worse things than being called a mermaid, at least I'm not being called carrots. 

Common sense would dictate not to wear a long dress when you want to climb out into the sea and down many rocks, all while hoping not to fall. But I tend to forget what common sense is at times, what can you do? 

These pictures came out a little dark, as it started to rain just as everything was set up. These were also taken with help from my sister, which was awesome, because it meant I wouldn't have run(climb) in between setting the timer.

Let's go for a walk. For many people this would mean wearing pants or otherwise casual clothes. For me it means that I dress like always, which means a skirt or dress. It's funny because once upon a time, I felt so awkward wearing dresses out and about. That seems like forever ago. I've realized that I tend to not really like wearing pants, that sounds a little strange. Because of my body shape, pants tend not to fit right. While when it comes to skirts and dresses, they tend to mend to my figure much easier. 

This dress and skirt, they are both a favorite of mine. I like pieces that have something a little unusual. The straps of this dress and the material match that. The skirt, I love that it has pockets. I've learned that if you're going to make clothes, they have to have pockets. I don't understand why many designers think girls don't want pockets. We don't always want to have to carry a purse.

Blue shirt: Rue21

Skirt: made by me

Purse: H & M

Belt: Kohl's

Bracelet & Necklace: Deja Vu

Earrings: Hottopic

Rain boots: Target

When it comes to trambling through fields, it is best to have the right shoes. Rain boots are for muddy exploring shoes. I really like how this outfit seems to reflect a wooded adventure, hopefully somewhere with good cloud coverage and very few mosquitoes. I rather really like the earthy tones at play. In case you haven't noticed, I tend to migrate towards more statement colors. Here, I think the bright blue is the perfect addition to just give a little bit of a pop.

These pictures make me want to watch the Indiana Jones movies again. Not too grand of a leap, I think, perhaps I should find a hat to go with this ensemble. What do you think?

Plaid and Corsets

Skirt: Kohl's

Necklace: Rue21

Purse: Charming Charlie

Tights & Shoes: Target

Red and plaid, a few of my favorite things. For these pictures I forgot to get pictures of my plaid earrings from Claire's that I've had for years. Plaid is something that has had a special place in my heart since my earliest teenage years. While I don't wear it as often now, I do still keep it around. Some style choices we just have to keep, just to remind us of who we used to be.

Necklace & Earrings: Made by me

I don't always dress thinking, what kind of things do I want to wear today or what would be comfortable. It's always more like who do I want to be? Never really a person, but more like I want to be a gypsy, I want to be a fairy, I want to look enchanted like I walked out of a fairy tale.

We had delightfully warm weather a couple of week(s) ago. It was in the sixties for two days. It gave me a small taste of spring, which I was desperately craving for. I went hiking into the corn fields and some of the land was flooded from a recent rain. (Recent isn't the word, because it always rains) It was still frozen in the shade and looked like an out of place lake. I didn't go onto the ice, I was wearing the wrong shoes, which desperately need cleaned now.

A lot of this outfit is made up of things that I have just accumulated over the years. Many are from different countries. The purse and shawl were presents from family, which they purchased on mission trips. The mood ring is probably from some travel shop in the south. The shoes and cardigan are from Belgium, which I purchased when I lived there. I'm a sucker for different places, even if its just an hour away. That was something infused in me by my parents who took us on many road trips. I hope my feet are never firmly planted in the same spot for long.
