the first girl in the latest post by garance reminds me beyond any shadow of a doubt of one of my friends. uncanny.

taking a breather

sometimes you just have to give 'em a rest...but it's worth it.

these shoes are essential, no? h&m, i believe.

yet another tea 1

so apparently this is the year of tea parties. my friends threw a ladies' valentines day tea. everyone dressed up.

naiara, 19.
she has a great collection of dresses and flats--i wish i could photograph her every time i see her, but that would be weird. i love the print, and i love going to parties in my building because then people can wear delicate non-winter shoes.
also, i'm wondering if the dress is vintage...?

february thaw

i am so jealous of my dc friends: apparently a week or two ago it was warm enough that they could go outside and take photos in the sun. here in chicago it is, as usual, too cold--although we had a "heat wave" a few weeks ago that extended up into the 60s fahrenheit.

g. and katherine, both previously featured. love the carefree, springtimey clothes in these, and the way the photos look overall. taken of course by lionfro.

purple dress + zebra bra + red shoes = a little crazy = real nice.

simple, classy, mature: wish i'd dressed like this in high school.

tea party 7

here are some more photos i found from my tea party back in january.

this is me. i'm wearing a skirt that used to be my mom's. about fifty or sixty percent of the clothing i wear regularly used to belong to either my mom, my dad, or one of my grandmothers. the shirt is from target; i have it in size XL in three colors (usually i never ever do that with clothing) and it is the comfiest, baggiest, nicest thing ever. i have stolen nicole's shoes--at the party, about 6 different people were wearing them at some point. the necklace is a charm from a vintage rope belt strung on an old chain.

tea party 6

okay, so i have absolutely no idea of why i didn't put this photo up when i was doing the rest of the pictures in january...sorry ms. rachel!

here's rachel, 18, at a dc tea party.
this is really an excellent outfit that few people could pull off, but rachel does it with ease. the dress has a sweet print and i think it is vintage/secondhand. great combination of dress and boots too.
