Dress - Queen's Wardrobe, Shoes - Urban Outfitters
It feels weird to be posting an actual, planned outfit post since New York. But it also feels good to be back to a somewhat more normal schedule. Yet, I also miss posing on those fabulous NYC streets, and the unexpectedness and candidness of it all. But I know I will be back there soon, because only we can make our own dreams come true. Anyways, this is what I call my little dolly dress because it reminds me of all the dresses my childhood dolls wore (though I was always terrified of my porcelain dolls . . . I always felt they were staring at me. Or maybe I watched too many scary movies as a child). The dainty neckline is what pulled me to this dress. It's very Victorian-era, an era I am very much in love with when it comes to novels. But this dress is modern with its baby doll length and loose bohemian fit. A fun mix that is just my style. And speaking of turn-of-the-century styles, I just started reading A Cup of Tea by Amy Ephron, a novel based in 1917 New York. I've always hated history class, but when I am able to learn about history through fiction, with a little romance thrown in, I'm drawn in for hours. Thanks to my UCLA English professors, I have developed a deep place in my heart for early American literature, or anything based on this time period. Yes, I am a geek.
Have a beautiful weekend all of you! I will make sure to catch up with all your blogs! Oh, and aren't all the pretty fuchsia flowers pretty? I just had to pose in front of them :)
