Flying pen and ink,
invisible sparrows,
empty, pink ballet slippers
silently dancing on their own,
and a hazy, starry tomorrow.

I feel like this outfit is slightly reminiscent of this one, but perhaps more demure and and less wild. {My definition of "wild" in an outfit makes me laugh...for me it consists of crazy hair and an unlikely accessory, haha.} Thanks to Wendy for letting me use her poncho again! I'm on the hunt for a knit cape, so like a poncho but it buttons up and has arm holes. I've found a few on Etsy that I like, but none that just scream my name, ya know?
My beautiful friend, Hillary, sent me these lovely vintage gloves along with a few other goodies last month and I'm in love with them. Now that it's fall I can start using them more, which makes me super happy. ♥ Keep an eye out for another item she sent me in a later outfit post...
In my last outfit post a few of you asked if it's really all that cold here, and if all the leaves have fallen yet. I live further north in the US, plus I live in the woods, so it's quite chilly here right now. Today it warmed up a bit, but the sun is making very few appearances lately. And as to the leaves falling...some have fallen, but most are just starting to turn their autumnal hues. The woods I was in before is full of pine trees that only grow pine needles, which are at the very tip-tops of the trees, so you can't see them. So then the woods looks very empty and winter-y, even in summer.
My room is finished! I really like how much more space we have now, and I have a larger area for me and my stuff, which is always nice. Pluuuuus, I have more clothing storage space! My clothes never fit in both my dresser and my closet once I pull out all my sweaters, and now I have enough space with extra! Yay!
I hope you all had a great weekend! ♥
