Dance of the Wilis

One of my other new pairs of shoes (I mentioned there are three) are these very Chloe-esque heels from Nine West. Gorgeous, no?

I took the pictures on one of the paths in the woods at my school (I've gone here before) and the sun was setting. I'm not super pleased with the picture quality because the lighting started to die on me. But I do feel a bit like a wilis in Act II from Gisele. The pale skin and dark clothes definitely make me feel like some sort of vampiric ghost...

While I was on my path taking pictures, a group of youth that are visiting our college walked on one of the paths nearby. I could see and hear them, but they were oblivious to me. One wanted to go on the path I was on, the others wouldn't let her. Apparently this path is unsafe and someone lives in the woods along it who might attack them! How ridiculous. It is especially funny considering that this particular walkway leads to the house of the president of our college...

Outfit details: dress- Forever 21 (added the ribbon with a pin), shoes- Nine West via Amazon, tiara- ChicAllure from Etsy

The heels on those shoes remind me of Chanel
These are such lovely pictures, you always come up with fab ideas!

Romeika said...

The story behind the shoot, plus the lightening and mood of the pictures make me see this as a romantic ghotic look. And you totally pull it off.

nice heels! i love feeling like a tower!! haha...i like how you are able to change moods (or so it appears) from one day to another, this day looks very dark and edgy.

Zoe said...

You look gorgeous as usual. I'd be so paranoid that people would catch me taking photographs. Do yuo use a tripod? I adore the wreath adorning your hair. So romantic.

copperoranges said...

i've decided that heels make all the difference in appearing one's age. i'm never mistaken for being 14 or 15 when i'm wearing them!

Shen-Shen said...

You look amazingly ethereal in these photos.. I love it!

And haha, youths are great..

Pratishtha Durga said...

This is an all-shoes season. Everyone is talking shoes, shoes, shoes. I love the ones you are wearing, btw.

And such a cute tiara! People would say anything. Dangerous pathways are so much more fun to tread.

Cheryl Lynn said...

The lighting, the outfit, and the story are all very ethereal. It'l like reading a book.

Not quite as sinister as it is beautiful (in my opinion). Of course, I love, love, love the shoes.

Anne said...
