Truth Depends On A Walk Around The Lake

A few sunny days and all the ice on this side of the lake has all but disappeared. Once again it is still and reflective; a soothing place to pass a bit of time.
It has been too long since I wore my star print dress, no? I wore it so much last year that I can only be inspired to wear it when I can think of a fresh way to style it. This little jacket from H&M did the trick, making the ensemble feel somehow patriotic. While black flats would be an easy end to the outfit, I did a little doodling on my shoes with a paint pen. I do enjoy shoes with a little splash of personality and clearly haven't moved past my high school habit of drawing on my Converse.
Also, if I keep wearing this Modcloth necklace and taking close-ups, everyone will be able to know exactly what time of day I am taking my outfit shots...
Outfit details: jacket- H&M, dress- H&M, tights- Walmart, shoes- customized, gloves- Karmaloop, necklace- Modcloth

simonesays said...

Whatta coincendence. Right before opening this blog, I was thinking to myself, 'I would really like a black dress with some cute white stars on it.' Yours is pretty much the best example of what I want my dress to look like. ♥

Kimberellie said...

Those are awesome shoe doodles! I am so inspired! You look fantastic as per usual! Do you hem your dresses? Your dresses are always so fantastic! And I am so tempted to buy them online. But then I worry they will be way too short on me; because they fit you so perfect!

Fuksjanna said...

The whole outfit is just perfect! Cute star dress, military jacket, perfect gloves & the clock are amazing!

Sistinas said...

I love the gloves detail!! ♥

Aimée said...

Obviously I need to drag myself off to H&M. Your jacket and Q's pants the other day have reminded me why it's worth the 3 hour drive.

I just love that horse necklace-watch! Such a cute addition to the outfit.

Love the shoes! Very creative. It's hard to be believe they're Converse. Ah, don't be surprised now if Urban Outfitters comes to you now asks you to design a line of shoes for them ;)

What a smart outfit -- and those little mustard yellow fingerless gloves are j'adore-worthy. I always love how thoughtful and serene all these photos are. I always want to take the dog on a walk on the river trail by our house after reading your blog -- wish it wasn't raining today, though!
