A Swing Swingin' Dress

my husband Rob took these of me while we were hanging out with our friends in Maine.






This is Emilee's bike. . . needs tires and some work but it's pretty!

I fell in love with the sleeves most of all

Vintage 40s/50s Hat: Stephaniepress
Vintage 50s Dress: Dear Golden
Belt: came with an outfit I don't have anymore
Shoes: c/o Payless (thanks to winning a chictopia shoe contest)

Gosh, I would love to have a giant rope swing and I have the perfect tree in mind. You look so peaceful sitting there.

That sleeve really is darling.

Those sleeves are super cute. I love how vintage-y you look. I got a FREE bike like that from a garage sale. I can't wait to use it in some of my photos. You look fantastic.

I love the hat! I pretty much love all hats, though...haha. There is just something about them, I feel more glamorous or something. It's weird. And I agree about the bike! It is pretty. Classic!

Hey. Just thought I'd leave you a note re Cadillac Records (and probably some of my other film 'reviews'). I gather from your reviews, you don't like a lot of language, etc. in films? So just note that it does contain an awful lot of things of that nature. I'm not bothered by those things so I never write them into my posts. Hehe.

PS Gorgeous photos, yet again.

Perfection, honestly! The outfit, the surroundings, gosh even your hair all work together in these photos...super lovely!
