Walking With The Ghost

Why is it that as the weather gets brighter my mood gets darker? I feel a bit bereft at the moment. I'm used to things hanging over my head, items to accomplish and now I don't have them...or do I? I'm afraid I'm forgetting something terribly important. But what?
I'm spending more time alone, which I love, but as I do I turn more contemplative, reflective, and introspective--which usually turns somber for me. I'm not in the mean reds, or even the blues, maybe I've just slipped into limbo...
I do really like my pictures for today.
Outfit details: dress- AA, skirt- American Eagle (customized by me), scarf- secondhand, necklace- vintage via Opulent Oddities, shoes- Dr. Scholls

These pic are great! I love the back of your shirt/dress. My problem would be my enormous brests. I wish i could pull that off, it looks sexy!

The same thing happens to me during the summer. I think its a mix of the shock of not being overly-busy, like I am during the school year, and having everyday blur together because I'm bored that does it.

On a side note, I really like that American Apparel dress!

How stunning is that photo of your front and back??? I'm assuming some photoshop was involved, although wouldn't it be cool if you found your identically dressed doppelganger?

I'm sad to hear you're feeling limboetic (new word!) I hate that feeling, although you do seem to have some great friends who will cheer you up!

coco said...

I love the tatoos on your back, I never normally like them but yours are lovely!
I love the scarf around the neck.

i love the blue light, very dreamy, especially with the twin photo and lying in the dry grass. maybe you need a goal or dream to work towards? i know the summer seems daunting to me too, all that free time that just slips away... i've set myself to many tasks they're coming out my ears!

Rice and Beans Vintage Clothing said...

So pretty, and dreamy!

jess said...

fashion herald said...

time to get a drink with a girlfriend and dish. this never fails.
the bow is back!

annabananna said...

these pictures are just dreamy. you look like a fairy. i really hope you feel better soon, i suspect it's only the newfound freedom during summer. all year, you just wish for all the stress to end, and when it finally happens, you feel lost. i know that so well. i'm sure you'll smile again, soon.

ray said...

Kira Fashion said...

Hailey @ stylesymmetry.com said...

Fantastic photos, the lighting is haunting and beautiful. :-) Very awesome that you are now including details of where you got your clothes.

Amelia said...

I love the little scarf. Nice pictures!

Shen-Shen said...

I love the blue-ish tint to these photos.. And the one of your front and back! Did you photoshop? These are my favorite pictures of yours that I've seen so far! :D

Greece sounds lovely! I would really enjoy that nice hot Mediterranean weather, I think.

Savvy Gal said...

I am inspired to go out and take picture if my aching body will allow me to move without pain from yoga....

Miss Woo said...

Hey I hope you feel better soon :) You look wonderful as usual though!

V*Kstro said...

indeed great pictures... allow me to add a track to your post... "Isolation" - Joy Division

Katia said...

Oh wow, I love the picture of you and.. you haha and the last one, sooo cute!
I love your outfit too =]

And to reply your comment to me..
That's so cool, yeah I find myself really contradicting to and sometimes it drives me insane because I try to explain myself to my friends but they don't really understandd I want me some psychologist friends! You're luckyy

AsianCajuns said...

Love your outfit! If you do get the mean reds... head to tiffany's ;)

jayne said...

I know what you mean about getting slightly depressed when alone, as much as I need my alone time too much introspection leads me to a terrible funk

Gorgeous photographs. I hope your mood changes soon =], I'm always feeling down and stressed, but mainly just try to blame it on female hormones, even though the moods aren't just centered around that part of the month!

kater said...

These pictures are wonderful, they do seem to reflect a more solitary, contemplative mood. Love the picture with the two yous, it looks as though you have a doppleganger.

Secretista said...

Fabulousss.

I have to ask, what bra do you use with that top??!

the_kitten said...

Wow, the picture of yourself + yourself is uncannily beautiful, but bears this bit of a scary air, too.

miss hautttefashion said...

the photography is superbly cool! (superbly = my new favorite word. starting now. random, i know)

Taryn "Skinny Genes" B. said...

i love how the shirt shows your back

Ragamala said...

I love love love these photos. you are quite simply amazing.

karla said...

love the leotard. aa leotards are the best except for they always give me a wedgie haha

Lianne Camille said...

Love, love, LOVE that dress! The cut of the back is very flattering.
Wanna trade links?

Lianne Camille said...

I mean leotard, not dress! DUH!

Jello on Springs said...

thanks for the tag, it does seem like a fun one, ill get to it soon (taking summer classes has me bogged once more ugh) love that your scarf matches the rest of your outfit but not in a blatent matchy matchy way and i love the bow necklace. I wish I could see the shoes better though, wedges?

Nay'Chelle said...

Great outfits and pictures! I really like how you tied the scarf around your neck.

yiqin; said...

Ahh there're so many things I like in this outfit! The scarf, the bow necklace, the top it amazing & shows your tattoo so well! I wish I can see those shoes more clearly though :( It seems awesome.

Elissa said...

The twinsies photo is amazing. I get a little bit goth in the summer, especially when it gets hellaciously hot. Usually it helps indulge my sour mood to the fullest to the point of ridiculosity: black outfit, Bauhaus or something like it, visit to a cemetary, drinking iced black coffee with ashes in it... ;)

susie_bubble said...

The lighting in this is superb...

miss milki said...

Love this photoshoot...the last one is my favourite! I know all about that getting introspective when you spend too much time alone. I don't always think its a bad thing...unless you feel yourself going to the dark side...then you have to think up of stuff to keep yourself busy, preferabley with fun friends!

AlicePleasance said...

I agree, those pictures are gorgeous. I'm in love with the second one :-)

Super Kawaii Mama said...

I love that mirror image picture. Very clever of you. I love the silhouette of this outfit too.

Mimi said...

The pics' atmosphere reminds me to a dream I had a couple weeks ago :)

I really like the shoes!

fash said...

as always, clothes horse, a beautiful shoot.

Meg said...

You're a doll. I love the one where your back is facing the camera and the grass is endless into the distance. The light is wondeful in these.

Nadine said...

I love love love the american apparel dress - it's always comfortable and stylish!

joblessandjaded said...

I feel the same way re: the weather, oddly enough!

iƱaki said...

I love the back of the tee and how your tattoos look! ;)

xx

headmistress said...

I love the colours... and your tattoos... certainly tempting me to take the plunge.
sometimes sun is overrated - stormy days are so much more comforting.

Winnie said...

Gorgeous gorgeous photos!

enc said...

I daresay I love the moodiness of these photos. Not at your expense, of course. They just look so . . . .

Ana said...

WOW
these photos are really ghostly and lovely and melodic. well they would be melodic if they were a song.

Dotti said...

I truly adore the back showing back side of this AA dress. I need that too.

And: No, I just locked myself in. :)

Milla said...

These are the most beautiful pics! I love the ballerina-top that show's off your tattoos.

Anna Pope said...

I love your tattoos more and more each time I see them. I think they fit you so perfectly.

carly said...

i love almost everything you wear, very stylish pieces. i'm curious to know whether or not the people around you appreciate your style, though. i've found that whenever i wear anything even mildly different from the usual brand names, people just don't get it. do the people in your life share your style, or do they at least appreciate it?
