Velvet

I love velvet, but I am a bit scared of it...
This skirt seemed like a good amount without being over-the-top. Maybe velvet is something you need to ease your way into, like red wine or jalapenos. I'm not sure yet, but I foresee more velvet in my future.

Black & White

Believe it or not, these photos were taken at a waste water treatment plant. This is where Rob used to work. The pond behind me look so serene, but trust me you probably wouldn't want to go swimming in there! We took these photos last summer, that tells you just how behind I really am. Looking at these photos really is making me wish it was summer right now.





This summer I was really into longer skirts, if you can't tell by looking through the last few posts. I found a bunch at the thrift stores near my house. It actually is an easier thing to find I've noticed. I found a bunch more, but some of them I think might look better with slightly shorter hem, so I will be taking off a few inches of the rest I found. I think they will be a bit more versatile that way.





We ran into this little fella on our drive home. We couldn't help but stop & take a few pictures.

Now that another internship is coming to a close I am feeling a bit like getting away for a while. I have the entire month of March off, so hopefully that means I can escape to somewhere else, if only for a brief amount of time.

Last Summer

I knew I would be busy this year with my internships, but I never thought I would completely disregard blogging, let alone taking photos. But I suppose when you only have so much time, what little free-time you get should be spent with friends. And that is what I tried to do. But I must say I missed taking outfit photos and thinking up creative ways to get dressed. It also gave us (Rob & I) an excuse to get outside and spend time together exploring new places. I didn't really realize how much it had become part of our lives until we were no longer doing it.

I also miss having this as a place to go to remember my life. I haven't been doing a good job documenting anything as of late, so hopefully that will change. I hate not being able to look back at what I've been doing lately. If not for instagram I don't think I would have any photos!

Anyway, I hope that I can get back to it soon. I only have one more internship to do and I have the next month off.

Millenium Park in Warmer Days

Another vintage find in another tiny town with this skirt. If you look at this summers pictures (some of which I have yet to post) you can see that the trend seen throughout my entire wardrobe is long skirts. I suppose it is partially because it was a bit on trend, and also because I feel like I am hitting that point in life where it doesn't seem appropriate to go out in micro skirts unless I have at least two pairs of tights on ;)





These pictures were taken at a park by our old house. You may have seen other sets taken here as well.

Blue Skies for Miles

Looking at these photos now makes me miss the warm summer evenings with lingering light. It seems like by the time I get home now it is dark which leaves little time for taking pictures or even enjoying being outside at all.



One thing I think I am most excited to do as soon as I have a bit more spare time is to go thrifting. There are so many things on my checklist that never seem to get checked off.

Fennville, Part III

One last shot of Fennville before I move on. With snow on the horizon here in Michigan I need to get a lot more up here quickly.
