Creekside

I love the creek on our campus--it is great for throwing people in, but also for just lazing in the sunshine beside. Sometimes when you are terribly busy you just need to take time to breathe and enjoy the things around you.
Here's a shock: the two pictures of me on the branch over the creek were shot by a friend. Some of the first pictures I've actually allowed another person to take of me. I joke with my friends that I must have control of my "image" and all pictures of me must be approved. With these I was more concerned about my shoes falling off and into the water than how unflattering they might end up. Lo and behold, they aren't unflattering at all!
Outfit details: shirt- Banana Republic Outlet, skirt- Forever 21, scarf- thrifted, shoes- Urban Outfitters, socks- gift

These pictures are beautiful! I love laying in the grass and the sound of rushing water sooths me! My favorite picture has to be the one of you sitting on the branch!

Siljesfashion said...

ahh, lovely. Great picture of you on that branch! Also, love your nailpolish, do you have brand+number? Thanks!

Sarah said...

the last picture is a little scary, but I love your outfit! I also really like the crocheted collar, my mom brought me a few back from her trip to Bulgaria and I regretfully said that I didn't want them and now I do.

I love this series ! Especially the last, so precarious!!

Amelia said...

I love the pictures on the branch. Nice outfit!

your campus seems like a really nice place to live and your friend did a great job with those pictures. but i understand where you're coming from: one tends to make stupid faces when there's a person behind the camera. maybe i should try your "too busy concentrating not to fall from a branch"-therapy, it seems to work. but then, sadly, there is no creek here.

I heart spring! Can't wait to walk around in bare feet and a light summerdress!

K.Line said...

Your image is preserved! Gorgeous pictures - esp. the one of you on the branch...

I love spring!

Why is it warm where you live and barely 50 degrees in IL? No fair!

The Stylish Wanderer said...

Love the nail polish. Im afraid I have to be in control of my image as well, since it never seems to turn out right when other people take my pictures.
What nail polish are you using?

You are beautiful, and so are your photos. Love the photo of your swinging your legs on the tree branch, you look so carefree and happy.

Sometimes when you are terribly busy you just need to take time to breathe and enjoy the things around you. So true, and so something I need to do right now.

I LOVE dandelions!! I was walking around with my boyfriend yesterday and was totally excited by all of the dandelions.... so he went around and kicked them all.. Jerk! Haha but then he took me out to see a movie, so I guess that's okay. :D
