out of my element



day 310

I spent my free time exploring around town, walking through all the leaf-covered neighborhoods and taking pictures of possible photoshoot locations on my phone. Even if I didn't get a successful photo (i.e. this was not my original idea), the walk was perfect.






wild, wild west



vest/jacket/dress: borrowed // scarf: gift // tights: forever 21 // shoes/shirt: thrifted




This is kind of an out there outfit for me. I don't know what it is, maybe all the weird proportions going on, but I was so comfy wearing this that I didn't really care. There's just something about snuggling up in a warm, fuzzy scarf that makes everything in life awesome.

Perhaps the vest wasn't necessary, but I really wanted to wear it because it reminded me of cowboys livin' it up on the prarie. It's so weird because while I was living in Alaska, everyone would call me Oklahoma girl, but now that I'm in Oregon everyone calls me Alaska girl. Well there's definitely Oklahoma blood in me. I always get excited about tornadoes (thanks to my mom) and am too excited to play the cow game on road trips. Some days I still pine for Mount Trashmore and thunderstorms and tornado sirens going off at noon, right on time.




The inevitable cowboy reference also reminds me of Matt because he loves cowboys. In fact, this upcoming summer we're planning to watch all the episodes of Firefly, Matt's favorite show, in which the main character is a cowboy figure in the future. I really love our tv dates together. Last year it was Mega64, Community, and Doctor Who, and this year it will be even more Doctor Who, Firefly, and Sherlock (which I'm hoping to get him hooked on).




I hope you have a super wonderful day today!

day 308

Long time no see. I've been pretty busy with school, but hope to get back into the swing of things soon. This was taken yesterday. My town has all sorts of crazy things set up like this giant ball made out of twigs that you can crawl into, and it was only by chance that I saw it in the distance.

Model is Ivy.

blink



day 305

If yesterday's picture was taken early in the morning, then today's picture had to be taken at the last possible minute. My original night shoot idea didn't quite work out, but I think I like this one better. Though, I am still no good at shooting concepts at night. What can I say? I like my light and my 100 iso.

Everyone must be getting on the same wavelengths, because today was so lazy for my friends and I. Everyone was asleep after lunchtime! I don't know what it was (the rain, perhaps?) that made us sleepy, but I certainly won't complain. What else happened that is worth sharing? Hmm ... we watched Boy Meets World. Man, flashback Thursday! That was such a hilariously cheesy show. Oh the nineties. I feel sorry for anybody who can't appreciate the nineties. Furbies, scrunchies, shrinky dinks, Kids Bop number one, oh yes, those were the days.
