As you might be able to tell from the water marks on my tights, I fell into the Sound while taking these pictures. The soles of secondhand shoes are not the best for adventuring. I am beginning to sense a pattern here where I wear inadvisable shoes out and about, but I refuse to dress like many Northwesterners who look like they can leave their coffee shops to go hike a mountain. It's been awhile since I seriously injured myself, so I think I'm doing just fine.
Outfit details:
Sixty Eight blazer via Gilt
Pretty Trashy dress
We Love Colors Tights

Gorgeous ring! On the subject of ill-advised shoes, I broke my toe this past fall. When I had healed a good bit, my doctor told me I could start wearing real shoes again... then looked at the ballet flat on my good foot, and sniffed, "But NOT little slippers."
Too bad, doc. Little slippers weren't the cause of my toe dilemma, so why should they be punished?

Falling into the Puget Sound for a picture? That takes devotion! I love this outfit--the dress is great, and I love all the different shades of blue!

Wearing sensible shoes is one of those things I have a hard time bringing myself to do sometimes! But if your feet are going to get wet, at least it's in a romantic setting like the Sound, right?
That ring is gorgeous!
haha, poor you! Hope it wasn't too cold :p The shoes look lovely, if that's any consolation

Haha I completely agree! I hate it when I see women in business suits wearing trainers - I don't care if they're practicaly and comfy, they look UGLY! You look splendid here though, I love all the tones of blue.
You're so funny and charming to tell us about falling into the water! I think it makes your outfit even more adorable and sweet. And it's already so adorable with all the sweet color coordinating and the beautiful print on the dress!

You are so darn brave and devoted. Looking really lovely. I the color combinations you come up with... the rich blues and teals remind me of a peacock.
you have the prettiest jewelry.
Sublime dress! I love how your outfits are often colourful whithout seeming trashy or over bright.The little jacket is so cute too.
Plus I think the lake is my favourite backdrop for your photos.

love your blog, I'm from Spain and I followed you every day. Congratulations ;)
what a beautiful colour scheme. i hope your feet didn't get too cold!
You look great! And I agree, I'm so over the super-casualness of the Pacific Northwest. It's honestly frustrating at times.
oh, goodness me. you always have the best rings, miss! so so pretty.
this outfit is lovely! i saw it on erin's tumblr and had to come here to see it from more angles. i love all the blue shades next to the water. the ring is really gorgeous! ~joellen
Ahhhh how I love seeing other bloggers in my hometown of Vancouver :) It looks like you're having a grand time! It's unfortunate that the weather isn't cooperating right now... but you still seem to rock all your looks <3
Love the pictures. Your outfit and the background looks too good together!:)
I've been developing a collection of cute shoes with PNW appropriate soles. It's a slow process because there aren't a lot of rubbery soled shoes that are cute, but my leather soled shoes made me fall down some stairs my first year of college in the PNW so I had to find an alternative.
i love the whole outfit! from the tip of your head on down, it's perfect :D
I don't know why but I can't see your photos :(

I'm so very jealous right now of you living somewhere as beautiful as this. I could really do with sitting by that lake for a while! You look lovely and stylish as always :)
"Northwesterners who look like they can leave their coffee shops to go hike a mountain." Haha for serious!
this is amazing! x
What?!? No action shot of you going in?
I love the dress and all these colors!!
This is such a gorgeous outfit
That ring is amazinngg
I love the tights with the dress! And I'm impressed that you can maintain balance most of the time - I'm always falling all over the place.
i love this! i hope it the water wasn't too cold!
your jacket is perfect and i love the tights, they are the perfect color for your skin-tone!
i also like how you wear things multiple times.
yes, we've seen this dress a lot before,
but each time it looks brand-new.
you show how real people dress, that's what i love about your style!

Beauty knows no pain. I'm from the Northwest, and I was shocked by the ubiquitous forest fashion when I went back after many years. Paris fashion was interesting, but don't get me started on the waiter that tried to tip our table over....
I love this necklace you are wearing! So cute :)

this is such a great outfit!! I love the colors!
I have the same shoe struggle as a west-coaster. I am always on the hunt for comfortable, practical, but FASHIONABLE shoes. keep up the rebellion - i intend to.
I love all the blues! those tights look great with that dress
Beautiful combination of colours and outfit :D Xxxc
i loove that necklace, and aww you fell in? i almost did the last time i went out to take photos, on some wobbly rocks... what we bloggers will do for photos! :]
The ring is gorgeous. And turquoise looks beautiful against your skin.
I really love your ring! It works so well with your lovely dress. I don't blame you for wearing shoes that may not work for the location. I am a firm believer of doing so. Just be careful!
Your ring is stunning and I really do love your hair like that. I like that even though you fell in and your tights/shoes got wet you still persevered and took your shots!
it's actually kind of adorable that you fell in the water. :) I know what you mean about resisting the gore-tex et al...
Well the fall was worth it - you look lovely! You always have the prettiest locations for photos!
Always so cute :)
the clear blue sky is just so lovely! i love how your dress appears as if paint was splattered over the quirky print! :)
I adore this look. All the shades of blue look really great together!

hehe cuuuuute. i hope the water wasn't too cold! but i think it's adorable that you still took closeups with your wet tights. great stuff!
I adore all the blues in this outfit! And the blazer with the dress is perfection!
And I LOVE this sentence:
"but I refuse to dress like many Northwesterners who look like they can leave their coffee shops to go hike a mountain"

the ring and blue nails are fabulous!
just when I was feeling less than inspired by my blog reading, I got caught up on yours and feel once again invigorated.
Thank you!!
the hair! oh my! too too pretty! I love the ring too. I have definetly fallen in the lake before, though I did it in February and then had to hike for 45 minutes to get back home.
