Blue Crescent

I love wearing interesting prints on pretty dresses, and this dress was on my wishlist for a long time. When it finally went on this amazing sale, I just couldn't resist. I used to draw moon crescents on everything; my hands, my ankles, my homework, my notes, the inside covers of my books. It was like my little doodle signature, so in a way, this dress is like a grownup version of that childhood obsession. If I could throw a little more stardust and moonbeams on everything, life would be a happier place methinks.

These pictures were taken in the spring months, by looks of the lush grass and my longer layers. I am looking forward to when all the green things explode in a joyful riot, crawling in all the corners and overtaking the drab browns and grays in a celebration of color. The only downside to so much rich growth is the allergy season that follows, but on some perfect days, it's a small price to pay.

Sometimes I feel like I wandered from a fairy tale and I am drifting around this strange land until I find my way back home. Dreamy fantasy novels were my bread and butter growing up, feeding my already vivid imagination, so to see aspects of all those fantasy worlds escape into my daily life is never much of a surprise. Dressing the way I want to is just an extension of my little dream worlds in a way. I just daydream my way through life and dress the way I feel. If that makes me look like a character escaped from the confines of her book, well, I suppose there are worse things in life.

Heheh, I just liked this shot.

Pink Attack

It's rare to find me in something this pink and girly, but sometimes you just gotta take the plunge. The belt is what makes this dress work; otherwise it looks like a giant nightgown you'd find your grandma wearing. Thank goodness for waist belts. I never have understood why I don't see girl use waist belts more often. They can make an outfit go from blah to incredible and are flattering to boot. Maybe they will become a big trend in the future and waves of them will be flaunted from every store, but for now, I'll settle for just finding a few solid ones.

These were taken in the spring. I've mentioned it before, but I often post outfits that were taken a few months back. I started taking outfit pics with the idea of starting a blog, and along with not always having access to good computers, I've acquired a bit of a backlog. It's kind of nice actually; it makes me feel more prepared and motivates me to write on here more. Also, as all the pictures have been taken in the last year or so, the clothes and styles I'm wearing are all still relevant to my tastes and daily wardrobe. It's fun to see what I've worn and it (hopefully) gives me new ideas on how I will wear them again.

This last picture of me, I am trying to chase away an aggressive chicken. The nasty thing will attack your legs when you're not looking. It will stalk you and hunt you down, I kid you not. It's like a little wolf in a feathered body. Blasted chicken.

 Funny how I accidentally caught it on camera.
