shirt: vintage, skirt: f21, tights: tabio, bag: the sak, belt: random, ring: amrita singh
I thought we failed at doing justice to capturing the coolness of the flooded Texan plains so I took additional shots of it without me in them...
So this was actually a 70's dress bought on etsy that I've cropped ((vintage purists are going to hate me) to a mini length... worn here as a blouse. I know there's a huge run down these polka dot tights (and I've ordered more on the way) but I actually kinda like that one imperfect detail...
Thanks to everyone for helping me out with lodgings/restaurants in NYC. Also thanks for exchanging links! I will be updating links either later tonight or tomorrow. Also, a huge thanks to budgetbabe for twittering about my blog!

  24. I'm not a purist when it comes to vintage, unless it is YSL or Chanel or something of that caliber.

    Otherwise, I think that it is smart to update a garment to make it work today. And this dress/blouse is so gorgeous!

  31. Between your victorian-inspired blouse and the backdrop of these pictures all I can think of is a haunting, gothic elegance. These are truly some of the most stunning photographs I have ever laid eyes on!! :)
