I had never actually visited Kennedy's blog, 'Lay me in some tall grass; let me do my thing', when this picture popped on to my Tumblr dashboard, but I'm pretty sure that from now on, I'll be checking it out daily. This outfit sums up basically everything that I aspire to dress like. Thrifted items, like that gorgeous jacket, combined with fresh, new elements like the bright tights.
I'm obviously never going to pull off the Swedish blogger-look. Shoes like the Acne Atacoma's will never look good on me. But as Regina Spektor says (again with all the references), it's all right, it's all right. That's just not me. But all of the vintage dresses that I own also don't feel like me anymore. They feel sort of dated and one-dimensional now.
Lately I've been scoring some amazing things at thrift stores and less typical vintage dresses. I'm trying to reach some kind of conclusion here, but as I type, I'm under the impression that there isn't really any conclusion. This post is basically a love letter to an outfit. I guess that now you can conclude that I've completely lost it.
What I'm trying to say is that my approach to dressing (up) has changed entirely lately. I'm trying (and failing) to dress a bit more creatively and to buy things that are a bit more versatile. Just my regular Saturday night musings. Probably more something to write to my good friend 'Diary', but since I don't own a diary or anything of that sort, it ended up here. Thanks for reading and I'm sorry for the high nonsense level. Sleep tight! x

haute outfit! I don't think I'm courageous enough to pull off such bold tights (just yet anyway).
I was stopping by cause I noticed you commented on Nicole of Gary Pepper Vintage's post "Bohemian Child" and just thought I'd mention I made a DIY rose garland inspired by her.

That is an intensely sweet outfit. And it's okay, I write love letters to outfits all the time. I write love letters to my heater, too.
And I'm sure you look fab, and you're not failing.
Lover her outfit so much! I've added you to my blogroll by the way so please add me to yours too x Sushi
