No end in sight.

Summer keeps sweltering on, my car is still out of commission, and I have had no time to create a decent post. In the near future, I plan to write about: biking/my bicycle, a library photoshoot I have yet to take (must do this Saturday, before classes start and pesky students come back in droves!) fall (which is so far away for us Southerners), and hopefully figure out how to create lovely collages like some of my favourite bloggers (particularly Casey, Aya and Rhiannon!) 

So instead, another outfit, wherein my hair decided to be amazing.

This dress is amazing; light, breezy crepe with the best pleated detailing on the chest and back and rhinestone buttons! The wedges are another great ebay find, brand new Hale Bob ones for a steal (16$ including shipping!)

Though this corner of my bedroom is really the only decent area in the apartment to photograph full-length ensemble photos, I want to create more dynamic shots, taking advantage of light and interesting features. This shall have to wait, though!

Hard times.

My car decided to die (alternator, most likely.) So to fill space with photos instead of content, here are a couple recent ensembles, one prior to car death, one on the day of.

 

left, after a sweaty wait to try to get my car fixed: early 60s toile minidress with lovely bird/floral/fruit print – ebay; creme kneehighs – Target clearance; 70s navy leather t-straps – thrifted; Mary Pickford brooch – thrifted……..right, prior to sweltering in the summer heat: World’s Most Adorable Dog puppies in icecream cups jumperskirt – Baby, the Stars Shine Bright; handknit 40s cardigan – ebay; blue kneehighs – Target; mint tea party flats – Secret Shop; headbow - scrap of netting from vintage underskirt.

I have an hour to kill before I must head downstairs to the circulation desk to begin my shift, so I hope this post will be followed in a day or so with another, more interesting one!

Renewed decisions.

I truly want to keep this blog going this time. I just get very frustrated/disappointed in myself, because I am so inept and feel like no one would ever want to read my posts! I know everyone must start somewhere, but it seems like I need to just jump in and make my mark on th’ online fashion blogging community, because it really does mean a lot to me.
