When I was shooting these pictures I started to think about how I naturally hold books--which is, I tend to hug them close to my body. From childhood on, I've always carried them this way, clutched close to me. I think it might have been a bit of a security shield when I was younger; a way of putting up some barrier between me and the world. Nowadays I still cling to my novels, wrapping both arms around them and clutching them to my chest but it feels as if I'm trying to hold a dear friend close.Anyway, the book is old and familiar to me, but the shoes and bag are new thanks to my sponsor BaliELF. I'm pretty excited to have another pair of shoes that nearly match my hair this summer--the wedges are super comfortable as well so I think I'll be wearing them as often as I find pieces to coordinate with. Based on these shoes I'm already coveting a pair of their leather ballet flats, my favorite vintage pair is falling apart.
those shoes are so pretty! my favorite color. :)

ReplyDeleteLove your hair, dress and jacket in these pics :D x
ReplyDeleteRebecca, your hair is so lovely. I am wondering if you ever have trouble coordinating your hair color with your outfits? That is the only thing holding me back from dying my own hair a different color.
ReplyDeleteI like your new look..:)
ReplyDeleteSo many lovelies in this post. I'm a bibliophile too so I relate. Your hair! You know your way around a curling iron. It looks so lovely. Your shoes are the best. And that dress! Cropped denim jackets rule.
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes :)
ReplyDeletePretty outfit.
Xx, Reni
@Sydney, yes I am careful with what colors I wear now because of my hair. I no longer wear red. It's easier since it is summer so I don't need to layer much.
ReplyDeleteLoving the neckline on this dress!

I'm absolutely loving your blue hair and the length it's at right now. It's so cool on you! I love how it compliments your blue shoes. Such a cute dress too, as always.
ReplyDeleteThat is how I hold books too, I had never noticed until this post. X
