This is one of those outfits I couldn't really see myself wearing if I didn't live so close to nature. It's not that crowded city streets would would make me too shy to creatively express myself through whimsical headbands (although it probably would be a factor); it's just that these clothes belong here. This is how I picture a modern dryad dressing after becoming domesticated to the point of living in a cabin, but not abandoning her true home in the woods (rather like a selkie who has had her seal skin stolen but never loses a longing for the sea). While the palette and heavy brocade might be better suited for autumn, it still matches the pine needle bedding and bare tree branches only just beginning to show spring growth--I hadn't intended to match the woods so perfectly, but I think our surroundings do influence us so much.
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 -- and I get what you mean. There are some outfits that I have that only make sense in my small town.
ReplyDeleteDoes the zipper of the dress go all the way to the hemline? That's kind of cool.
I love this dress! It's very magical. These pictures are totally giving me fairy tale vibes...like if you kept walking there might be a creepy cottage made of candy or something.
ReplyDeleteYour hairband is so cute, love how this outfit pulls together!

I'd actually be all over wearing this dress in a big city. Maybe not the headband, but swap out for a black belt and/or shoes and it'd be perfect for the city.
ReplyDeleteI love how you were inspired by Dryads and Selkies. It is quite a whimsical ensemble! I especially love the print and the cut of the dress.
ReplyDeleteI do like this outfit, but agree with what you said about it having a place. It just seems to belong to a certain way of living....
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. I really love the colors and print on your dress. The floral crown is so pretty with it.
