riding on a pink cloud through a sea of flowers.









sheer dress / vintage
long-sleeve shirt / uniqlo
shiny leggings / am apparel
shoes / f21
pashmina scarf / street vendor


years ago, i had dropped in a new vintage store on the drag in austin. this blue floral dress was peeping at me from between two non-descrip items, so as soon as i pulled it out of the rack, i squealed inside. the color was magical. and it was sheer and fit so perfectly, though a bit longer than i liked it.

i had done the sheer thing in high school, but never with quite as pretty a fabric, nor with such lovely colors. i would soon go on to wear the dress to many special occasions. but now that leggings have blown up over the last few years, i tend to throw it on to for errands/work more than anything else. funny how some pieces of clothing go through certain phases.

    WOW.

    I am in love with your photos. The contrast between the starkness of the white wall and the bright red.

    the stylish wanderer - thank you so much ! you're probably the very first person who has "linked" me. i'm still new to these terms because i just joined, but i find it thrilling. :) the space i'm modeling in is my apartment living room in new york, and it is maybe 2-3 times bigger than the picture indicates, although i may eventually add a wall that will separate the space in half. anyway, it's definitely one of my favorite things about my home.

    urban audrey - i'm not sure how you found my little blog, but i'm so happy you did ! i've been reading your blog for a while now and it has quickly become a favorite. i'm so glad you liked the photos; i always enjoy yours immensely as well.

    nv - aren't they great ? i saw them at the store for the longest time and it seemed like no one was touching them ! i knew i wanted them the first time i saw them, but once i tried them on, there was no turning back. walking in them was like heaven. i can walk uptown and downtown and frolick and jump, it's pretty amazing. it's really too bad they're sold out !
