To A Poet's Dream And Agony

Could it please be February and would someone ask me to be their valentine? Because I think this dress would work perfectly under those circumstances. It's much more suited for a silly little date than exploring abandoned trains and getting frightened by pigeons (that fly out of nowhere!). My father helped me shoot these pictures; it was his idea to climb into another abandoned rail car to get this angle. I really love that he suggested it because the colors inside the train are so lovely and wouldn't be seen otherwise.

Love this dress, it's definitely "more appropiate" for a date, but I love the contrast between a fancy dress & an old train.

I think you look wonderful!! I am quite sure if you wore that dress a man would be a fool, for you not to catch his eye. Do you have any trips planned? Hopefully you might meet somebody. My cousin met her husband on a ferry. Ever notice that people can meet there mates in the most unexpected places!

I really like Iris's idea... a romantic, candlelit dinner in the train, featuring that dress, of course. Might be a bit chilly in February, but it would be romantic enough that it wouldn't really matter.

I love all your photographs. So much. I really need to hone my photography skills (such as they are).

Is that the Lanvin for HM dress??? How did you manage to done down the "poof"?

It looks amazing.

Shelby said...

you look so good in red. you make think that i can actually pull it off because i have red hair too.

@Jovana, please read the outfit details listed at the end of the post; the dress is from Chicwish. I didn't tone down any poof, but that must be a characteristic of the H&M dress, not this one...

@Anonymous, I actually am headed on a trip (nyc for fashion week), but I'm quite happy without a valentine at the moment really. And I do have someone I already in mind for v-day come february...I'm just taking time to get to know him right now. ;)

Preziosa said...

I love your pictures and your outfit, as usual!
Your father had a great idea! :)

P' said...

Waw, nice! I love the idea of taking these photos in an old train... An invitation to travel? At the same time it remind me of Silent Hill!! You look like lost in a parallel world ^^ By the way, this dress is beautiful *3*

romwe said...

easily gain gaiety inside for the bright red dress on you.I am creatively charged and spontaneously pleased.Thanks for that terrific inspiration!Check out my blog if you have the time :D

Elissa said...

It's so awesome that your dad takes an interest in your outfit photo taking!! What a sweet guy! And these shots are beautiful, esp the last one. Also... you always talk about being alone, and I listened to your radio spot where you said that was largely a fantastical image of yourself you save for your blog which gives me some relief because girl, you are beautiful in this dress and it breaks my heart to think of you NOT going on any dates in this!!! I suggest Match.com. I married the guy I met off there, and had a lot of fun times with everyone else!

I love the dress and location. You look so gorgeous Rebecca! :)
