The Mourning Period

I am in mourning...for several days I intend to wear black to express my sadness at my return to colder climes and snow-covered paths. Admitting to reality I must retire my ballet flats until warmer days and wear my boots or else break my neck on ice.
Despite my bitterness over weather changes, I am enjoying reconnecting with friends from Greece and mildly shocking some of the people at my school...let's just say visible tattoos are not common where I attend...
Outfit details: dress- Forever 21 (worn backwards), scarf- secondhand, tights- gift, boots- Urban Outfitters, coat- gift (Anthroplogie), bag- Pull and Bear
I'm also over the moon to be mentioned on Teen Vogue's site as one of their favorite fashion bloggers. The entire list is full of inspiring bloggers and the description of my site is one of the sweetest I've ever read.

Nice tats - can't imagine that they would offend anyone! Very pretty and simple.

Oh, I was worried there for a moment! But, yeah, congratulations about the Teen Vogue mention! And oooh I adore that scarf, so stunning xx

Emily said...

Aw, welcome back to the cold, cold North East. At least you don't have as much snow as we do up in NY - your state of mourning might last for a few months! ;)

Your tattoos are beautiful. Those who might be shocked should just be relieved that they aren't offensive. Show 'em off!

Tahda said...

I've said it before but I love you tattoos - they are truly unique and so pretty.

PS: congrats on teen vogue1

deedoubleyou said...

aww i hear ya. there is literally about 4 feet of snow piled at the end of every driveway where i am. it is crazy and i am SO ready for spring.
i really like your tattoos too, did you design them yourself? i have noticed your doodles in your last couple of posts and really like them. youre talented, do you do a lot of other artwork?

the iron chic said...

Hope you haven't been trying to keep your name a secret. *wink*

tofuscloset said...

oh i love! and those boots are something i'm looking for!! but in black!!! are they comfy? =) i'm sorry it's so cold there...i'm sending you some sunshine warmth =)

Spandexpony said...

Don't mean to bite your style, but I actually have the same exact scarf, hollah! PS- at least you have a good head on your shoulders and are switching out for boots. I am working on a project with this girl in class who refuses to wear anything but ballet flats with no socks, even though it is 20 degrees here everyday and there is a foot and a half of snow on the ground. I would wonder if she needed money for boots, but she wears North Face everything else. Go fig.

plastikneon said...

Sorry you're not in the greatest mood...neither have I.
: /

Hopefully there will be warmer weather soon...in NY its too cold.

You look wonderful, I love your tattoos...that's so weird that people are shocked by them, oh well.

Brittany Noel said...

So sad about your sudden winter. Where do you go to school that, in Philly, they aren't used to tattoos? I really like your tattoos :) Also, another glimpse of your yellow bag!

Krystal said...

your hair is SUCH a gorgeous color, love the look too x

Amelia said...

I adore the scarf. The dress worn backwards is brilliant, too. Congrats on the Teen Vogue thing.

Brigadeiro said...

I love your tats (don't think I'd seen them before), and you look so cute in your boots & scarf (and not cold at all, despite your surroundings). Also love the injection of colour into the picture with the yellow bag :)

Congrats on your Teen Vogue speel, you and your blog are so incredibly special!
xx

♥ Chloe said...

Congrats on the Teen Vogue feature - you truly deserve it! And the snow is melting on the ground! I cannot believe it.

Sales Rack Raider said...

I really like your tattoos, and you always employ such a graceful and classy way of showing them off. This one is no exception.

Adding another congratulatory squeal for your much-deserved Teen Vogue mention.

Charlotte said...

Love your look here, and your tatoos! And congrats for being mentioned on teen vogue!

Andrea said...

I love that scarf, and your tattoos are cute. = )

Sassy said...

I can't believe that people still get shocked by tattoos, it's so conservative! But it's the same situation here, esp. in the countryside. And when I was in Italy everyone stared at my tattoos and then they stared at me like I was some kind of hooker...

THE HOUSE OF STYLE said...

big kiss,
Marian

miss milki said...

That dress works really well worn backwards - I love your tattoos peaking out - its subtle and maybe a little unexpected. Nice scarf too - you still look fabulous even in the freezing cold! :)

At least the tattoos you're shocking people with are very lovely!

Parapluie said...

I'm normally not really into tattoos but yours looks great!

Aisha said...

Hi RR :)
Loved your interview on teenvogue's site. You deserve being featured there, you're one of the nicest fashionistas in the blogosphere.

Tereza Š. said...

love your tattoo, I am thinking of getting some on my wrist..did it hurt?

Flashes of Style said...

I love love love the black on you. You look so classic. Also, those tattoos are beautiful. I've been wanting to get one for quite sometime, you just may inspire me.

Couture Carrie said...

Congrats on Teen Vogue, darling!!!

Your tattoos are fab :)

xoxox,

Nadine said...

I think I never told you before: you're hair color is amazing!

corrie said...

Aw, it just seems like the snow will never go away, doesn't it?

I think it's funny people are shocked by your tattoos. Do they ask about them? It's always awkward when a random stranger inquires about your tattoos. It's as if because they're visible, people think they have a right to ask.

Hope you're enjoying the return to college though. Enjoy it while it lasts!

evita nuh said...

Eri said...

Congatulations!!!!! That is really cool.
About the tattoos , nice one. I wish I could draw and do my own stuff.
Are the ones on your back the ones?
Take care.
