The Pessimist

"Nothing to wear but clothes,
To keep one from going nude...
Nothing to sing but songs,
Ah, well, alas! alack!
Nowhere to go but out,
Nowhere to come but back."
-part of the poem, The Pessimist by Benjamin Franklin King

Lately when I take Gus out, he does not act like a well-mannered pup on a leash. Instead, he buries is face in the grass and then proceeds to roll around...makes it quite difficult for walking.

OMG - how cute are you guys? I so love that red dress and those blue espadrilles are to die for...seriously. I die! They are perfect, I have a pair of Michael Kors ones I got consignment coming my way, but yours look like the perfect height!

**BTW __ Still having the "three dress" giveaway on my blog :) - Now with even MORE chances to win big! (wow do I sound like a commercial, or what? :P)**

You always have such beautiful scenery and your pictures.

i always love it when your adorable puppy makes a guest appearance in your blog. he looks so sweet!

also, the poem reminds me of myself when i'm going through all of my own clothes, can't seem to put anything together to my liking and feel like i have nothing to wear (i.e. nothing but clothes.).

Lexie said...

Beautiful, beautiful dresses. I adore outfit #1! And hi puppy! You'd better send him to me for walking lessons. ;P

shopgirl28 said...

You look lovely. I like the scarf tied in your hair in the first set.

Lauren said...

Aw, Gus is so cute. My dog does that sometimes, she'll rub her face on the ground and then roll on her back likes she's trying to get rid of an itch. I love that red dress, the sleeves are really pretty.

Kelley Anne said...

Oh all of the details are perfect in the first outfit! I love everything about it. Your dress is great in the second one too. My dog's been doing the same thing lately. Maybe they're just excited to be outside sans snow:)

LML said...

Great outfits and amazing photographs! I often wonder how you do it! The composition is always interesting.

Gus is adorable... ♥

I love your nailpolish, your blue dress, your 'dutch' necklace! I cannot say enough that I just like your whole closet!

xoxo

ZombieLace said...

So good to see your blog again! You look just as well dressed as I left you... Another freaky shoe coincidence: I also got some red chinese slippers while I was in china! But they are not the exact same ones this time, yours have a nice ankle strap going on :~)

Twobreadsplease said...

I love your headscarf so much! x

Erin Dale said...

Wowza. I'd love to go shopping with you; your taste is killer. I mean, Japan? Really? What a lovely find.

Rebecca said...

I love the color combinations on both out outfits, and that's the best way ever to wear a scarf in your hair!

Fantastic hair and scarf combo! I love both outfits. The blue dress is fantastic.

Love the red dress. Red looks great on you. And, have to say, Gus is to die for. Such a doll!

gummybear said...

I think you look quite natural wearing a headscarf. I wish I could pull one of with such ease. Will this be a trend of yours this summer?

Savvy Mode SG said...

Chopstick said...

OH MY GOD I WANT YOUR SECOND OUTFIT! It has rope wedges and floaty red dresses and a blazer. AND A DOG!

Also, I wish I could pull of nail polish in that shade of blue. My skin tone is unfortunately against me wearing pretty blues like yours. sigh.

Mama Mima said...

oh my, you look so sweet in that blue dress with all those yellow flowers behind you! such pretty view, quite hard to find at my place :(.. how do you make hair-do like yours?

Little Monarch said...

I love the first setting: and I also adore the dress with the headband.

Fannah said...

Love the pictures, and outfits. Creative, the headband :)

Quixsa said...

The photo of your puppy rolling in the grass is adorable! Made me smile.

The blue dress is amazing (maybe it's because I'm a sucker for anything with pockets)!

Also the words of poetry suited this post very well :0)

Anna Pope said...

Your tattoos look prettier and prettier every time I see them :)

Cindy Khor said...

h&m really does make lovely dresses. they look all summery and refreshing. its so nice that you have the real summer at your place, but in northern ireland, the weather is still crap and its cold.

...love Maegan said...

That first outfit is so pretty! I love the scarf :) Haha, it actually reminded me of Rosie The Riveter to be honest. And wow, love the red dress and that blazer. Oh, and those shoes are fantastic!

Winnie said...

I really like how you've tied the scarf, cute! Love the red dress on you too.

Jessica said...

I love the first dress so much! the red shoes are adorable also..
that blue nailpolish is such a cool color, I noticed you seem to use it alot, not that thats bad, I super love it:)where did you get it?..

Brittany Noel said...

Great job with the scarf!! I love how you pulled together the shoes into the rest of the outfit with the scarf and handbag. Well, I guess I'm not sure which you pulled in, but I love the recurrence of red on the somewhat neutral blue background.

Violet said...
