photo haiku (love poem to Spring)

Pretty one.

Come quick, Spring! Craving

sockless shoes.

Fall (when these photos were taken) is a lot like Spring sometimes! They are the soft, bakery fresh bread sandwiching the slightly frozen bologna that is Winter. Days are clear, you get to wear loafers without socks, and you're in the mood to explore playgrounds along the Atlanta Beltline with pretty friends.

Come quick, Spring! You are missed. 

Wearing:
On Me-
Oversize blouse from Uniqlo
Loafers from Zappos (Steve Madden)
Skinny jeans from H&M
Glasses from shop in Brooklyn, NY.

On Freind-
Cute clothes. :)

Images of Fall

We were blessed with an extra long Fall this year, with mild temperatures well into mid-December. For me, it was a season of blazing color, bows, cardigans, and private school esque outfits. I took some photos with my "real" camera for a change, something I would like to do more of.

shoe love conquers all

It even conquers my usual thriftiness when it comes to dropping serious dough on unessential items.

Enter: The Lita (by Jeffrey Campbell). I first noticed this mammoth of a shoe on Twitch Vintage's blog here, and they have been dancing through my head like glittery bone-crushing sugar plumbs ever since.

They come in countless colors and designs, but I like these ones that look like they were made out of an old musty carpet bag. There's something delightfully witchy about them for Fall. My finger is hovering over the trigger button, ready to BUY BUY BUY! But this annoying side of my brain who calls herself Practicality keeps reminding me that they cost over $100 and might not fit in well in a 3rd grade classroom. And I'm saying to her "But But But... there's always weekends and after school and I can always bring a change of flats along with me!"

Oh what to do, what to do?

denim and long, all fall long

I'm looking forward to wearing this calf-length denim dress for Fall. It has pockets; and is of the darkest most loveliest of worn down denims. I envision it as one of my "teacher" outfits for when I start my job as a 1st-3rd grade teaching assistant, layering it with tights and a blouse. Picture playground romps and carpet-sitting with books. Perfection! I found it on Saturday at Last Chance thrift store in Decatur while on the hunt for something completely different... so it goes!
