even though i created this space to share my outfits (and other interests), the truth is that most of my looks never make it onto the blog. i’m only able to pull out my dslr for blog photoshoots on the weekends, so i can usually only share one or two outfits per week these days. but with the rise of instagram, and the ease of snapping a quick outfit photo with my phone, i’m starting to pick up the habit again. it kinda reminds me of the days before i was blogging, in the early 2000s when all i had was a little digital point and shoot and i’d ask my boyfriend to snap a picture of my look, just so i could remember it.
so if you don’t follow me on instagram, then here is a selection of some of what i’ve been wearing on the daily. that dress up at the top is a vintage find from my mom. we chat on the phone a lot and i tell her what pieces i’m looking for so she can keep an eye out when she’s thrifting. i was absolutely in love with this when she found it, until i accidentally dropped it into the wash with a tiny red bonnet. now it’s covered in huge pink splotches, despite soaking it in bleach for a week. cue tiny violins. i think i’ll probably have to dye it now…

I have also found that Instagram is the new medium for my daily posts – just so much easier for those times when I don’t have the time to setup the tripod, shoot some photos, edit, and write a blog post.

How am I not following you on instagram? Bizarro. Lovely outfits!
I really love this minimalist vibe, especially the first picture. Too bad about the stains on the dress, it would look pretty great with some shibori dye though!
Try RIT Color Remover. I think that”™s the correct name, but it might be Dye Remover.
thanks for the tip! you’re gonna laugh at this, but i asked my grandma if she could get it out for me. i have no idea what she used, but today she brought the dress back without a spot on it! i accused her of witchcraft, hehe.
Really enjoyed these intragram outfit snaps! you have the dream wardrobe :)
Great collection!
