One of the reasons I love to include gifs (moving pictures) in posts is because the outdoors isn't static. I'm usually being blown around by the wind, getting rained on, or attacked by insects. The other day there were about a dozen snakes sunning themselves everywhere (which was a bit disconcerting). Regardless of what I experience, a picture is a single captured moment and usually full of deceptive serenity. A moving picture shows you the wind or rushing water; a more accurate depiction of a day.
On an entirely different note: I really love a good yellow bag to lug all my "baggage" around in. My loyal mustard yellow purse was beginning to look worse for the wear (fraying stitches and such), so finding this perfectly persimmon bag was basically a match made in heaven. Add to the equation that the bag is made from recycled leather and the drawstrings make it possible to style it in a bucket shape and it really can't be beat.

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
I love this outfit - especially the yellow/indigo theme. The little jacket is adorable - so useful for this time of year and it really smartens up an outfit but looks so comfy.
ReplyDeleteI love the locations for your shoots, the gifs are such a cute addition too! This is a great outfit, I love it!
ReplyDeletewow love your shoes!

The colors are lusciously bold here-- I love the bag! both the name (I love persimmons) and the shape. I like gifs too, since they give us a peek into the 3D while still remaining silent.
ReplyDeleteAnd aahhhh I would be more than a little disconcerted about those snakes, too. D:

I can totally relate to the activeness of nature while taking photos. In my latest photos I was nearly attacked by several giant bumblebees and a black spider. I do fine with most things except spiders. The worst is stepping in a pile of leaves and suddenly a bunch of spiders are crawling all over my legs. CREEPS ME OUT!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I totally inadvertently matched you in my post today. :o)
Love your shoes... the design and color are great!!!

ReplyDeletethat bag is perfect! i love anything mustard colored, and the bucket shape is so cute. it looks really nice and soft. pairing it with that watercolor green dress looks gorgeous- very nature-y. ~joelle
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of color in your shoes! Made me look down at my plain brown wedges in utter dispair. Lovely moving image, just a pretty spring breeze.

ReplyDeletethat bag is the best color
ReplyDeleteI love the bag! I had considered getting it too, but I don't think I'd have anything to match it... my wardrobe consists of mostly dark colors...
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are also quite lovely too!
I want your shoes!!! I had those shoes in my cart at Amazon.com for the longest time and forgot that I had them in my cart and they eventually sold out! I have done it numerous times! That's a pretty bad habit cause I could be styling them like yours right now! ;)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog, and I wanted to say I love your outfits! Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI adore yellow! It's my favorite color. I also love your socks/shoes combo. Too cute :)

The colors in this look are spectacular! That bag and those shoes are the perfect touches. Lovely, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI want those shoes!!! x
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are great.& If I saw a bunch of snakes I would immediately sprint in the other direction.
ReplyDeletewww.sonyasark.blogspot.com
those shoes are GORGEOUS! and that last picture is probably my favorite photo of you. it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit, particularly the shoes! Those painted platforms/heels are super duper awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove those shoes and the knee socks. But I'm afraid that every time I try to do a knee-high sock thing, I end up looking like a soccer player. Not a good look.
ReplyDeleteI love the bag color, but it seems like the straps are really long and not adjustable (from the pictures). Too bad for us shorties who don't want to cross-body EVERY thing! I do love the platforms though, perfect with the grey socks.

ReplyDeleteI love that last picture! You are so pretty! And i like how you make such cool "gifs"! I downloaded gimp, but I still have no idea how to make one. I'll have to google it. :P Anyway, thanks for your great posts. You are always so inspiring. :)
