skirt, shirt, & purse: thrifted! shoes: my mother's from the 70's
on days when the heat is unbearable, we just snap a few photos quickly in the field next to our home.
i am fairly certain that our neighbors think we are crazy.
ps: this whole outfit was under $10.
lovely outfit (and only for $10?! what a deal!)
ReplyDeleteI definitely understand the unbearable heat. Even the short walk to my car leaves me drenched in sweat! Ugh!
I love the combination of that shirt with the skirt. What a perfect summer pairing!
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is so cute! Very unusual!
ReplyDeleteAnd how cute are those deer?!
your clothes are always perfection. but you know that! You look stunning, I seriously think your blog is art!
ReplyDeletecan't beat $10! Those little bitty deers are too cute
ReplyDeleteWow, for unbearable heat, you look amazing Gee! I've been sitting in a playsuit for the past three days, with occasional trips to the shower! ; ) And aww, look at that little deer!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the mix of pattern and color you've got going on here...
ReplyDeleteWhen I used to take pictures in my backyard, all of my neighbors would stare at me in complete wonder... It was quite embarassing and I'm glad I now go to the local nature center to take pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou look so lovely, even in the heat, Gee.
Oh my goodness, are those little deer?? YOU DO LIVE IN A FAIRY TALE. I knew it :D
ReplyDeleteahh, i love it when i see awesome outfits that were aqcquired cheaply. such an inspiration!!

whoa so cool that your whole outfit is under $10, it looks fab on you I would have never thought of that :D great job!
ReplyDeleteYes for cropped shirts that tie at the waist! And yellow and black is one of my favorite combinations by far. Your mama has some good taste in shoes as well! I would give anything for that amazing black clutch. I have such a thing for vintage purses and that one is so dreamy. Have a wonderful Monday!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love tie-waist shirts, they have such a great summery 70s feel to them! Your skirt is really pretty too.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so awkward shooting around other people. The quote is really lovely, very appropriate for this post! I love this look. I cannot believe you got all of this for under $10... such a steal!
ReplyDeleteso, so pretty! and the whole outfit for under $10?!! amazing.
ReplyDeletehaha sometimes i think that too when i go outside and have my sister snap pics for me. you look great, i love that clutch!

You are looking so thin Gee! That quote is so perfect for this outfit too! <3 I can't believe the whole outfit was under $10! Take me thrifting some day! You're so good at it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Shel Silverstein so much- he is like my role model! So the fact that you have a quote from him plus a super pretty outfit makes me want to be your friend! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so lovely!
I love these photos! My favourite is the one where you are sitting by the road. And those little deer are sooo cute. We live near a park so there are a lot of deer around my place too. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing that you got that whole outfit thrifted, very nice! I love the colors, that skirt is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that skirt!!! I cannot believe you live so close to such a beautiful field! Hopefully the neighbors are too busy thinking how amazing you look to wonder what is going on:)!
ReplyDeletelove your top, such a pretty colour and print
ReplyDeleteAw, Shel is one of my favorites!! I am blown away how you got that outfit for under $10. You always find the most darling pieces. The tied shirt is the cutest!!
ReplyDeleteI've been getting back into thrifting again as my clothing budget will be cut in half since I will not be working now after we move. It's definitely a lot more fun...but I do wish I could take you along with me:) You have such a keen eye for it.
Oh and yes, we should totally Skype. No worries...I'm known for lounging around the house in sweats and a slouchy hat:) Have a lovely week darling!!
Great outfit for under $10. Its amazing what you can find if your willing to search.
