What I want to wear for spring!

I made a fun little set to enter a contest Via Gala Darling for modcloth.  For spring, I am really feeling girly, frilly with a bit of rugged toughness and natural elements.

Sorry my posts are lagging, I have been going through some personal things and have some stuff to take care of.

In better news, I also have something really amazing to look forward to this weekend.  A amazing photographer, Alex Farnum who lives on my block is doing a 2 day shoot for a new batch of portraits and I am blessed to be one of the models.  He is a extremely well published and just won a photography award.  Please check out his work, it's stunning!  Did I mention how excited I am.  I did some modeling when I was younger and have always loved being photographed, even though I do it myself now which is hard.  Wish me luck with having a good hair/makeup/body day!

This is how I feel about fall dressing!

I have been wanting to wear lots of frilly blouses with rich textural jackets and hippie throwbacks.   I have a gorgeous vintage wool navy cape that I can't wait to get out for fall and winter as well as my 1960's fringe leather jacket like the one below.  I love to wear layers and can't wait to start playing around!  I'm excited about the dark blue flared jeans that I over dyed.   This set contains many things I have, in different forms.  It's fun to put together a look book of things similar to my wardrobe.  It's such a good way to get excited about "shopping" your own closet!

I was feeling a little theatrical, so this is my expression of that. I love this combo of colors, but it has to be done right or it can be too theatrical
