Sooo I had one of my first awkward blogger photo-taking interruption interactions this morning. Getting used to this "living in a public place" thing is going to take some time... one of the men who works in an office below our apartment came strolling up the alleyway and seemed a little bit confused about what I could possibly be taking pictures of at such an early hour. At some point I may end up having to explain myself, but I don't necessarily want all of my neighbors (who inevitably would not understand) thinking I'm a narcissist.
But here you have it. This is what I was photographing:
I'm kind of loving the shabby-chic industrial-style scenery behind my apartment. It's quite a change from the country landscape behind my previous accomodations.
Oh, PS: the orange couch = fantastically retro. I'm in love. I'll post photos of the new apartment when it starts to fill in and clean out. Right now it looks rather wretched.
(dress: Old Navy; scarf: thrifted; bangle: flea market; tights: HUE; moccasins: Minnetonka)
Yeah, awkward encounters are well, just awkward! I guess people just don't know what we're doing : P Maybe someday you'll be able to have someone else take your pictures!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have this same dress except in a the light gray stripe.
everyone has fabulous striped dresses lately, I want one!
ReplyDeleteWow love your outfit and your pics!!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Love the patterns and colors here! Yellow tights are hard to pull off (in my opinion), but you wear them very well!
ReplyDeleteoooo orange! can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you photograph outside something awkward is bound to happen. I too am soooooo afraid people are going to think I'm really really into myself; why else would someone take pictures of themselves? hahahah-I never expect anyone to understand a personal style blog, because when I try to explain that it just seems as narcissistic as taking pics of myself. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteBut hey, at least you looked super cute, I love the outfit...its very cool with all the prints, colors, everything going on in it is great!
Love the stripes, red and mustard combo!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I say if someone spotted me taking photos either!
I'm always a sucker for stripes and i love how you've paired yours with that printed scarf. very cute!

ReplyDeleteLove the whole look...something nostalgic about it. Cool blog.
ReplyDeleteI really like the mix of the colors and prints in this outfit!!!! I have a similar dress and might try this look out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe colors here are perfection! The yellow tights bring out your eyes (is that weird to say? Whatever).
