Burlington!

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't made a post in a while. I've been really busy and haven't had much chance to take photos/edit/write. 

These photos were taken my my friend Carrie in Burlington, when we went a few weekends ago. We also went thrifting at the Goodwill, and I got lots of wonderful things. But that's for a later post!

This hat is a gift from Carrie, the dress is Forever 21, and the scarf was also a gift from Carrie. 

I Dare You To Buy A Hat

I think everybody deserves to own a hat like this. At first I thought I looked terrible in hats, but after a few friends told me otherwise, I looked in the mirror and reconsidered. Hey, who cares if I look bad in them? I'll wear them if I want to!

And I want to.

(And you'll have to excuse my messy hair.)

What's better than lilacs? Than a vintage Coke bottle?

And there you have it.

Beachwear

I took a class trip to Nantucket last week for four days. We had the most incredible weather, and spent a good portion of time at the beach. We searched for shells (I made windchimes from these shells for mother's day), explored, swam, and played music by the campfire.

There's a certain Nantucket clothing style that can almost be summed up in one word: expensive.
Being an island, the style is of course nautical-inspired. Stripes, blues and reds and whites, delicate sweaters, boat shoes, you get the picture. Typical preppy. The kind of clothing that goes along with Vampire Weekend.
I like the preppy style, but it's not for me at all. I wore these highwaisted black shorts (Nordstrom Rack), a leather belt (American Eagle), a red and white striped shirt (Nordstrom Rack, and a hat (a gift from a lovely friend). Channelling preppy without actually being there. I think this'll be one of my 'recycle outfits,' one that I wear again and again.
