The Falls

Outfit Details:

Top: Forever21

Kimono & Necklace: Ebay

What Meets the Eyelet Skirt: Modcloth

Shoes: Target

Climbing rocks in a full length skirt might not seem the wisest, but it makes the whole thing an adventure. The real thing that made it difficult was the shoes. Still give me a day in the woods or by the sea and I'll be as happy as can be. Seriously, it's time to go.

"You can never be overdressed or overeducated"

a quote from Oscar Wilde, one of my personal favorite play writes. Ever since I've heard this phrase I've really embraced it. I definitely think it's a good way to live through life. I know so many people who complain about how they never wear that outfit they bought because it's too fancy. I often get stopped by strangers who want to know why I am so dressed up. It bothered me at first, but I realized I would rather wear the things I love than things I just like to please others.

Outfit Details:

Dress: Made by my mum

Jewelry: Second hand jewelry store

Shoes: Ebay

I probably haven't mentioned this before, but my mother is amazing. For my junior year I decided I wanted a dressed like the one Rose wears in Titanic. But instead of her red dress, I preferred blue. My mum made the dress without a pattern, which is extremely impressive and difficult. 

These pictures are from early 2010 and were taken after my prom. These were taken by my brother. I love this dress and looking over these old photos makes me want to get dressed up in it again. However, just thinking about the corset makes me shrink away from this decision.

Just for a Moment

Outfit Details:

Cardigan & Shirt & Belt: Kohl's

Skirt: Made by me

Tights & Shoes: Target

Necklace & Earrings & Bracelet: Forever21

As I look over what I wore, I'm impressed by how few stores compose this outfit. However, when it comes to the outfit I'm still on the fence as to whether I really like it or not. I do know that I'm in love with the necklace from Forever21 and the shirt from Kohl's.

The park that these photos were taken has just become a favorite place of mine. One day I'm going to remember to take a tripod, that way I don't have to resort to using my car and tables to take photos.

Life is about holding still sometimes. I love being still in the midst of nature. It is also one of the few times I long for the feel of the sun, since otherwise I'm a vampire and live in the shade and underneath clouds.

I love finding new places to take pictures. Parks tend to be my favorite. This happens to be near a nice coffee shop so it's a win-win. For right now I haven't gotten a chance to really explore it, but I plan to. Where are your favorite places to photograph? 

I also adore a little bit of bright with mostly black. Maybe it comes from my Gothic days? And while tights with big prints tend to make one's legs look larger, I have to say I love these, especially because they were clearance at Target.
