Songbird...

So  it's my fourth post. I don't know when I'm going to stop announcing what number post it is, maybe when I've done 10. Okay that's what I'll do...

So today I decided to do another outfit post. About a week ago I got this dress for my birthday and fell in live with it. It has a bird print, which I love immensly. I actually have two other bird print dresses that are from H&M, but this is by far my favorite.


Dress: Modcloth
Cardigan: TJ MAXX
80's Flats: Thrifted

I love animal prints (pictures of animals, not skin prints, though there is a time and a place for those). I was looking for animal print dresses online and all that showed up were taki leapord and zebra print cougar dresses. There is a Miu Miu esque dress by Zara that I've wanted for a long time, but they don't sell them online and I'd have to drive an hour to a store.




These pictures were so hard to take. I had to use the self timer and had to put the camera on a spider webby (is that even a word?) window sill and I was very afraid to say the least. There was actually a venomous (or what I thought was venomous) spider waiting on the other side of the sill. It was lurking, waiting to kill me! I actually took some pictures of my rings onr a tree and guess what else was on there... another HUGE SPIDER. (I am very frightened by those eight legged beasts!) It was such a spidery day!

Ahhhh!


The top ring is a swan from Forever 21. I love it! More birds! The  prayer bracelet is from a Tibetan store in Nantucket, Mass. The gold bracelet is from my grandmother. In the bottom picture there's there's the gold ring I've showed before and the two black ones are from Henri Bendel's.

You might be thinking, those shoes match perfectly with the dress, and you would be right. I usually don't like to be matchy matchy but I found these shoes thrifting while wearing the dress and thought they were perfect. Plus they were fairly cheap, $6, why not buy them at that price. Plus I always wanted something studded (I don't have anything studded except these shoes, gasp!)


There's my dog, Shadow, isn't he cute! I was taking pictures and I was about to stop when he sat down right next to me and remained completly still as if he was poing. So I decided that he wanted his picture taken. And he did. He was so happy!
