Here Comes A Feeling You Had Forgotten

Lately I've been deviating from my usual path. I'm taking new paths through the woods and pushing just a little bit further to see what is around the bend. Sometimes there is a wide open field, or moss-covered woods and occasionally a more unusual surprise: a mock village for military drills or an abandoned, roofless building...
Outfit details: jacket and dress- H&M, belt- vintage, shoes- Seychelles, tote- Hayden and Harnett via Weardrobe Conference, necklace- Modcloth

It's so cool that you found this place! I would've loved your woods when I was a kid.

Love the woodsy area! I like how you paired the matching bobby socks with your dress :)

Delightfully Tacky said...

This place looks like a scene from a movie. I bet there are really interesting places on that base. You almost look like you are in Camo in that dress! Haha! Maybe you are starting to dress more like your dad than you even think!

WendyB said...

You have all these wonderful locations...is it okay if I start photoshopping myself into them? ;-)
I have crappy locations near me!

Winnie said...

You look fantastic. The shot of you standing in the corner of the abandoned building is fantastic. I love how your dress almost blends in with the foliage in the background! Also love the detail of the green socks with your shoes! What wonderful colour coordination!

Wanderlusting said...

Wow - my favourite location yet. Glad you strayed off of the beaten path.

Jennifer said...

Lately I've been deviating from my usual path. I'm taking new paths through the woods and pushing just a little bit further to see what is around the bend.
Good for you. :) It's fascinating what can be found just around the corner, or just a stretch farther than what we're used to traversing.

Market Publique said...

Love that dress! Probably because I bought a super-similar one at Pinky Otto a few weeks ago... I hate it when I finally decide to splurge on something new, and then H&M has a cheaper version of it! Sniff!

Katrina said...

Is the title of your post a reference to Horchata by Vampire Weekend?

If it is, I have been so in love with this song for the past month or so. I can't help but want to get up and dance every time I hear it. :)

meowsk said...

You can walk to these places from your college? I want to go to whatever college that is.

Musing Around said...

This dress looks so cute-- on you! My friend and i tried it on at H&M and, well, it didn't work out. We didn't know what to do with the sleeves. Oh, well. You, my friend, wear it well. Nonetheless I was inspired by the green print and found something that worked a little better for me!

calivintage said...

oh i really like this look. the wide belt is the perfect touch for me, and this space you found for photos is so creepy and beautiful.

Eyeliah said...

what a gorgeous location - and your outfit matches it so well.

<3 The Voguette

KD said...

That setting is oddly similar to the old castle I imagined in Enid Blytons "The Fantastic Five". I am digging the outfit!

Corinne said...

Sylvie said...

I love that building and how you can see how beautiful it is the second photo. And I really want that dress! I found it on the H&M site in Germany, but now I can't seem to get it shipped to America...

renwore said...

a mock village for military drills
Er, I fear for your safety after reading this part of your sentence ^^;;;
This location is stunning though, and It's cute how your lovely dress matches with the weeds growing in the area XD

Odia Ancholia said...

The place looks really nice...It has the melancholy of autumn. Wish I lived there...

Pretty Penniless said...

Green is one of my favourite colours, and I think it mixes SO well with tan leather. What a beautiful look.

Maria said...

Gorgeous dress. The pattern is beautiful. *

Laura said...

Fiorella said...

WOW! I love that place... It makes me think in a secret place that a kid will go whenever it feels like having an adventure...'
Lovely dress!

surimay said...

loveLOVE

Sales Rack Raider said...

The setting is gorgeous! Kind of reminds of "The Secret Garden"...

maria said...

Totally agree.. Green is good! And is a colour perfect on you!

Rebecca said...

Ooh, so jealous of your shoes! :) And I love that building... makes me want to go exploring! It also reminds me of this ghost town my family used to visit in Colorado when I was a kid -- Carribou! I think it was an abandoned mining town, but we liked to go there (okay - maybe we only went once, but I remember it so well!) and explore the empty structures. So much fun.

kimi said...

this dress was made for you! You look so good in green! By the way: it's very funny someone called you a leprechaun. Made me smile.

MizzJ said...

Your photos are always so beautiful! This place looks enchanted, like a scene from a Secret Garden.

Katie said...
