Pictures courtesy of Rich who I am slowly but surely teaching to use my camera, but I don't think I'd let him do the bike+photographing at the same time just yet.
*Edit: I should mention a little something about this skirt. In 2009, the last year of All Points West Music Festival (yes, I'm still heartbroken that its gone) I went with my then boyfriend for all three days of fun in the rain/sun/mud. I had just moved home from college and barely had any clothes that I could afford to ruin. The solution: buying some cheap fabric on sale at a craft store and whipping up three skirts the night before leaving for the festival in my first ever misguided attempt at using my mom's sewing machine. I never expected them to last longer than that weekend, but perhaps my sewing skills are better than I give myself credit for (or I just have a great delicate cycle on the washing machine).

You look lovely, no wonder you return to this ensemble frequently :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty outfit - did you make the skirt yourself? Looks like such a beautiful spot for some evening cycling!

These photos are great! Amazing job Rich!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so cool that you made that skirt and that it's lasted so long! These photos are lovely, and I adore your outfit!! It really does seem like the perfect summer outfit!
ReplyDeleteI love/need that skirt in my life! xo
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to pick an outfit for frequent wear, this is the one. Very cute, very feminine, very youthful. Stylish, yet casual.
ReplyDeleteI've been coveting these Scandinavian backpacks for ages! I've never ever seen one for sale anywhere in Hungary. I guess I'll have to visit Sweden to find one. :)
ReplyDeleteKudos on the skirt, it's really flattering and cute! And very sturdy! :)
You look completely gorgeous, everything about this look is perfect and the light in the photographs is so stunning, I love them so much <3
ReplyDeleteI think you look so relaxed and natural in the images too which I know can be hard to do (particularly if your me!) haha I was just complimenting another blogger on her ability to look natural - I think it must be something I must master! <3

This outfit looks so cute and comfortable! I think I need to thrift some linen tops now =) And it's so cool that you took the sewing leap and this skirt has lasted! In response to your question, I've been doing some freelance copywriting and editing lately for J Brand, and I've done a little freelance for some other women's clothing brands in the past.
ReplyDeletei love that this skirt is home made. You look oh so lovely with the tied shirt no wonder you have worn it a bunch. This location is awesome

Good work on the homemade skirt! I have been known to get into a clothes altering frenzy before certain holidays and such. I like the easy vibe of your summer outfits. Quite jealous you have a boardwalk to visit too.
ReplyDeleteLovely breezy outfit. I can't believe that's the first thing you ever sewed!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I tried to sew a skirt I didn't read the instruction on the pattern that said 'cut two'... Needless to say I was a bit disillusioned with the outcome!
I know I say this everytime.. but you are so stunning.
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful that your skirts have lasted so long! And it definitely doesn't look homemade at all, it looks great, let alone a first attempt!
I love repeating outfits for similar reasons (weather, ease...)
I'm definitely going to try out that skirt tutorial. I really want to try out some sewing projects, and that one seems like a good place to start!
ReplyDeleteThis is really a perfect summer outfit. The tied blouse and a-line skirt are wonderful together.
Great homemade skirt! Glad it survived longer then one festival.
ReplyDeletelooove the skirt so much! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute outfit I wouldn't even blame you for wearing it so much! The skirt honestly came out perfect, you did a great job with it. And I love your sandals! xx
ReplyDeleteI love that you made skirt yourself! It's gorgeous. And I'm also loving your top and how your tied it!
ReplyDeleteMint & Mellow
Aww...the skirt is lovely and I liked hearing about how it came into the world. I'm glad that you're enjoying the summer weather so much. You look great!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
this outfits simple but really cute - i don't blame you for rewearing it :) x
ReplyDeleteThat handmade skirt is completely adorable...I seriously need to practice up on this art:) Gorgeous photos all around...that first one of you is especially beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteif you wear an outfit that screams prettiness, and sweet nature, like this one, then you never have to apologize :) You are simply a beautiful girl! I have a white top similar to this one, and I want to wear it at dawn, to lunch, to the moon lit hour.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to find clothes you can't get enough of*
sweetness xx
