Driving through the countryside at dusk really makes living in the middle of nowhere feel worthwhile. The shadows stretch long and dramatic, while the sunlight turns golden and casts an ethereal glow on everything it touches. Mundane fields and fences turn beautiful with a soft Midas touch and even the cows are lent a spot of glamour in this light. While shifting speed limits, sharp turns, and tailgating vehicles make me a nervous driver, it all somehow just feels like a roller coaster ride and butterflies in the stomach are a sensation to be savored, not feared. At the end of the day, it isn't the location that makes the person...

Loev your belt and dress! I'm the opposite I don't know why, but riding (I still haven't learned how to drive) around like the way you described actually stresses me out.
I just found your blog, lovely style.
I particularly love the head piece, it really gives a nostalgic feel to the outfit.
I love your hairpiece!
I also love that you are having such a nice summer ... I only have three more days to go!

Oh, I really love those shoes! And the background is so pretty. I reminds me a bi of where I grew up.
Ahh, love it! The fascinator and the shoes are such lovely little touches.
I love the skirt layered under the dress. The fascinator is cool, too.
Very vintage! LOVE it!
Dear Clothes-H,
As great as all these photos are, and as wonderful as you look in them, I think we have gotten the POINT. Perhaps it is time for some more 'fashion exploration'. In this way, you can show more (bold) creativity, in case you want a job someday in the fashion industry; or in case, you want to connect this website with a business idea of yours someday. Your energy and your time is valuable- perhaps it is time to progress just a little further, away from mere posing; but towards a fusion you would like.
Just a thought,
T-V angel.
Oh my goodness I love your fascinator! Now I feel like embarking on a DIY project.
The black and gold combination looks awesome!
Nice use of metallic! I love the framing in the shots of you under the tree.
Hey, someone is getting all poetic! And doing a good job too :) Your text is changing in stayle and impact, and I mean this in a good way. I love those shoes. They look comfy and cute.
I live in a concrete jungle, so I can only crave countryside. Green isn't a common color around here... more grey and well, dull.
pretty pretty shoes=)
Why have you removed your links?
Cute pictures, cute outfit too.
loves everything about it!
love the fascinator and your gold jazz shoes, so cute.
Those gold jazz shoes are simply marv....
^T-V Angel, I'm pretty sure you don't get the point. This is a photo diary of what I wear every day and what is inspiring me, it's not about breaking into the fashion industry. You want me to change my style and while I am willing to explore things, I'm not changing things to fit into some fashion box. Perhaps a little more clarification can come from this old post: http://theclothes.blogspot.com/2007/12/icicles-and-comments.html. But just once again, this is a blog by a clothes horse, not a fashion blog. And I'm not even certain I want a career in the fashion industry...
Anyonymous 2:42, my links seem to be intact. If you are referring to a specific link then I apologize but I do have a policy of deleting links to sites that don't seem to update themselves regularily. Let me know if there is a particular site I shouldn't have removed.
The shoes are so cute.
This is gorgeous, I'm about to google 'fascinator'...
Lovely look.
speaking of links, Would you like to link swap with me?
