I took another half vacation day today. I'm going through my vacation time pretty quickley, but I need some time off to process stuff right now. Having the first half of the day off gave me an oppportunity to go to Sunnidale Park to take some pictures. The park is about 10 mintes from my house. It used to be a golf course, but somtime back in the 70's it got converted into a park. I decided to lay down in the dandilions for a couple pics and ended up with yellow all over my jacket. lol, most of the pictures taken lying down didn't even end up looking all that great, I looked like a corpse in most. Today's dress was a thifted find yesterday from Goodwill for $7. It's a good two sizes too small for me, I actually can't zip up the back. Fortunetely if I wear a blazer or cardigan over top no one's the wiser. (shhh)
The hat was also scored at the same Goodwill. I decided to try and mix up the outfit a bit. Modern & Vintage and Tough and Pretty. lol, kinda reflects my mood as of late.
Rest of the outfit is:
Shoes: Old Navy
Stockings: Forever 21
jacket: Addition Elle
Bracelet: Aldo's
Purse: Goodwill (different location, got this one over the weekend)
Necklace: Bought in Buffalo on Black Friday a couple years ago. The day was such a flurry of sleep deprived shopping insanity that I can't remember which store it was from.
Oh, cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the patterns and textures and colours going on in this! It all just works.
ReplyDeleteWas this photo shoot taken solo? If so, kudos! I am waay too afraid to go out in public with my tripod! Haha.
Lovely photos.
Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI made the Grumpy Danish take my pictures. I just have a little point and shoot type camera, so I need someone else to do it. I can do a decent shoulders and up pic of myself, but otherwise I need a photographer.
That bracelet is awesome. The hat is great, people should wear more hats.

Thanks, I know I love hats :)
ReplyDeleteI always feel a little silly wearing them cause no one else does.
I LOVE your hat. And genius idea wearing the dress unzipped with a cover-up - I got a gorgeous 50s dress at Buffalo Exchange before we left Texas, and it's too small in the bodice. The dressmaker is going to try and alter it for me, but if it doesn't work properly I'll try your method!
ReplyDeleteLove your stlye it's hard to describe its like a mix of vintage/retro with a sort of rock chic feel. I just adore it. Like you I have a blog if your keen to check it out here's the link http://www.blognow.com.au/suchaprettyface/
ReplyDeleteThanks and keep up the great work
