Sunlight Is Painting
While I was in NYC I managed to stop by the Built By Wendy shop to coo over their pieces in person. I'm a very tactile person, so it was really nice to be able to feel the quality in the fabrics (which isn't apparent when browsing an online shop). Even on sale the prices seemed out of my range...however, when I got my first letter of acceptance to law school I decided to celebrate with a little splurge. With a vintage fur collar (which I found for super cheap) pinned on my favorite jacket, the folksy dress, and patterned tights: I feel very Anna Sui. It's the sort of outfit I would have admired a year ago and felt too self-conscious to wear out...so, I guess this is progression.

oh, I just love that dress...and those TIGHTS. Built by Wendy is just amazing
Isn't it amazing how we can look back at ourselves and see how much we've progressed in how we dress? I mean, not to mention our evolution in character, but I think that a certain confidence shows when we're able to step out of the house wearing something bold. Like that fur collar with those tights! Lovely. :)

What an amazingly cute dress. I love teared clothing. Plus, your tights are so unique. Overall A+!
You have, like, THE most amazing collection of tights. I want sooommmeee! I'm terrible with tights though, always getting them snagged...that dress is pretty darn cute as well. The flounces are so sweet and spring-timey.
Oh, hello there tights.
Beautiful background scenery!!! It's great how you caught the reflection of the clouds in the lake :)
It's great to know that your getting more confident in your outfit choices. I hope to able to do the that more too. :)
Congrates on getting into law school! I hope you'll still be posting loads when you start school again...i love your posts :)
You look great in this dress. You're a great inspiration, I'm working on building up the confidence to wear more outfits that I don't dare to wear out now.
Ahhh, the dress is so perfec & folksy & chintzy & adorable. Great find!
Glad you decided to splurge, that dress is to die for! And pairing it with those tights is just genius. :D
I have been so absent from blogs and blogging and most things internet. I have missed way too many good things from you, Rebecca! First, of course, congratulations for your acceptance to law school, that's awesome! On a less grand note, I love this dress. Definitely a perfect amount of folk and looks like the perfect weight for summer.
CONGRATS on your acceptance to school! that is so exciting. you are going to be the best dressed law student out there.
and i love your built by wendy dress. the ruffles and fabric are adorable. ~joelle
Everything about this is perfect. And congrats on your law school acceptance!
I've been thinking about buying some Built By Wendy patterns, as I love her dresses, but they're way out of my price range.
Rebecca, LAW SCHOOL! You will make an excellent lawyer! Those who are literary firstly posses the gift of eloquence, articulation and argument, as well as creativity. You will do brilliantly as an attorney!
I think you do look very Anna Sui. It's a good look on you. And again, you're bringing it with the landscapes, just like you always do.
XOs,
Maeko @ thereafterish.
You're wearing such an adorable clothes, but have to admit that right now I'm more into that spring-ish landscape in your pictures! Green grass seems like a miracle as here we still have half a meter of snow. I'm SO waiting for real spring to start and wearing some other shoes than wellies..
oh wow i love your dress! this whole outfit is seriously lovely.

And Oooooh I love your outfit! :D Especially the fur collar. :) Sweet and cute, but stiff kinda sophisticated.
And -like always- I love the landscapes where these pics are taken :) Reminds me of the nature of my country, and it makes me hope all this snow would melt already and leave a beautiful summer for us to enjoy.
Cheers,
