I have been getting a lot of questions regarding my whereabouts since I have been doing these outside photos which is cool but unfortunately the answer is not all that exciting! Merl from Clyde's Rebirth guessed Narnia! That would be pretty awesome what with talking lions and fawns and witches and all, but in reality its just Northern Nevada. Those are the Sierra Nevada Mountains behind me. There is a lot of space and dirt here. Especially in the winter. These fields will soon be covered in alfalfa and super green, but not yet. The dirt is nice though. It smells really good to me.
This dress is another Barefoot Vintage purchase! I know, two in a row but the thing is I have been Dying to wear this one and was going to have to take a length from the waist to shorten it and then elasticize that new waist so it belled out like this (and I probably still will someday). it was just too long for me and not the right proportions to just wear it as it was. Here I just folded the waist over and belted it. No Sewing! Works for me!

I've always wanted boots like that, lucky girl
I never knew NV was so beautiful!
I love the print of that dress! It makes me think of the old dutch blue & white tiles...
You certainly do have a gorgeous view, doll! And I love this dress belted ...
perfection!!!
Lovely dress. Is that a freshly plowed field? Is there irrigation? Do you grow crops there? Sorry I'm so curious. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are huge. They are a lovely backdrop. I remember driving through Tioga Pass on the way to Yosemite. I guess you're North NorthEast of there. Back to the dress, it has a pretty pattern and with that slim waist of yours, which it accents, you make the dress look gorgeous.
I always wondered why there were mystical-looking mountains in the background. I'd sooner like to believe Narnia than Nevada (though both do SOUND similar to each other, so it counts?).
I like how you paired a cloche-style hat with tough booties, it's an interseting combo!

OOO, i think the photos will look just as pretty when the sprouts come too :) wish computers were scratch and sniff to smell all the Spring blooms.
I have to admit I don't travel much in the States but your pictures make me want to book a couple of trips!
Now that's what I call quick thinking. I do not know why it never occurred top me before, "Folding at the waist" I mean. And the backgrounds might not be Narnia but they are very beautiful.

That belt looks amazing with that dress...it almost looked like it was an aweseome detail on the dress
I love this look. :-)
love your outside photos, and the dress looks amazing like that!
HA! I was right! at least with naming the movie with the talking lions that I was thinking of.. Not bad considering I haven't actually seen the movie.
I love that dress and that you cuffed the sleeves. Those boots are so cool too and you wear that hat well! I've been loving the outdoors location of your photos lately

That's a brilliant idea, wouldnt have even have known that you just folded it to fit! I must try it! I am loving that belt!!! Where is it from?
The background adds so much to the photos! These look great. Very inspiring!
So pretty!

That belt is so cute, and it seems pretty versatile. I love sundresses with boots!
Those boots are amazing! And I'm loving these outdoor shots. Nevada looks wonderful to me! :)
Nothing better than no sewing! FABULOUS outfit as usual. Just love your outfit brilliance. Yes, you definitely have a high fashion intelligence quotient. ;-)
LOVE the mountains, want to steal them. LOVE LOVE the belt. I want it. I will steal it when I come for the mountains.
I thought I recognized those mountains in your posts! I used to live in Incline Village and went to school in Carson City. I did that drive daily while I got my Esthetician license!
No wonder your thrifting finds are so magnificent! I had the best luck thrifting when I lived in those parts!
You look lovely as usually - that is a great dress and the ropers are the perfect counterpoint.

I think that you seriously live in the most beautiful place in the US!!! It looks like a scene from a movie. SO gorgeous! I am loving that belt too!
I can't decide which of the last 3 outfits I love most!!!! I am trying to land a volunteer position at the clinic before I become the lab mouse! Wish me good vibes ! :) You have reminded me of the importance of giving back and I can't wait to see what you future holds! :) It will be awesome!
Fabulous pictures! I just love the outfit and the hat...and the boots...and the backdrop :D
Gorgeous!
The mountain view is stunning! You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!
I love the hat and the dress!
I love that belt! And that's a very creative way to shorten the dress! I'm not sure I could keep it up all day but, it looks great on you! wow!
Awesome idea for taking up the length of a dress!
