what i wore: flock o' seagulls

hi everyone! i want to thank everyone regarding my last post, i felt so much love and support. i can't thank you enough!
when spring starts to come into view i always feel inspired to wear a bit of a nautical theme but then again i always love dressing this way. something about it always feels so classic and you can put your own spin on it.

this is my second solo shoot and it was fun, it was much easier this time around since i remembered how to increase the timer...that always helps. i don't ever really feel insecure about taking pictures but this dude sat on a bench and just stared at me basically for the entire time i was taking these pictures. what i'm doing is not terribly interesting so it became kinda creepy but i just ignored him but kept my eagle eye on him just in case he felt brave enough to do anything weird.

well, anywho.... the sweater i am wearing is one my favorites. i mean who doesn't love birds...i'm a huge fan unless they are flying overhead and one decides to drop a load right on your head, then they aren't my friend. OR if any of you  have run into this...pigeons, man, they just don't get out of the way when riding, they fly away right at last possible moment. the last thing i want to do is run over a pigeon on my bike, talk about awkward and totally gross.
what you can't see in any of these pictures is my scarf that also has birds on it (put a bird on it) . i love vintage scarfs but have had no idea how to wear them until recently; i finally figured what works for me. thank goodness because i was hoarding quite a collection that was just collecting dust.

details:
scarf:  thrifted
pants: uo

what i wore: my lottas!!!!

hiya everyone! this week has been a long one so far, gatherings with friends and wrapping up a few projects for some lovely ladies which i will share later :)

for christmas i bought myself a little present, a pair of shoes i have been drooling over for, oh about 2 years now...lotta's from stockholm! it took them a very long to finally reach my loving arms but it was well worth it! they are just AMAZING and every bit as beautiful as i thought they would be!
i have been wearing them like crazy ever since i got them. they go with literally everything in my closet. i often get in fits where i am so uninspired by my clothes but these shoes have opened up a plethora of combinations. i love how retro they look and they look great with both skirts and pants.
i wore this outfit to work. i realized after looking at these pictures that i wear this new backpack of mine soooooo low and loose, it looks kinda ridiculous! i haven't worn a backpack in so long, i guess, oh well!
this is a go too outfit for me. black cardigan, my upcycled lace peter pan shirt (which you can get a better view of here) and my leopard print high waisted skirt. after taking these picture bright & early it realized you can barely see what i am wearing which is okay because the shoes are what really matter to me! hehe they take a bit to get used to for riding but are super comfy to ride in and i think a bit sexy too. i just love adding a pop of red to all my outfits. i apologize in advance if you see these shoes a lot in the posts to come :)

what shoes are you lusting over?
