I've taken pictures near this abandoned train car several times, but I only recently discovered a way inside of it. It was quite a revelation to inch down the narrow passageway hoping a pigeon wouldn't fly into my face (as they have been known to do in the past) to discover this dining area. Despite some decay, all the tables and kitchen pieces are still standing. I know the walls are faded from age and neglect, but I find the soft seafoam shade they now are so pretty. I ventured from this car into another which turned out to be a sleeping car, but the space in there was too narrow to shoot with the lens I had. It was quite exciting to discover this new-to-me space and now I'm more determined than before to continue looking into the other trains even if at first entrance seems blocked.

Your hair looks amazing! And I love the inside of this train. You look like an elegant retro cut out in a place that time has caught up with!
LOVE THE HAIR love it
CUTE HAIR! Seriously, perfect photo shoot location :DDD It must be so fun to explore those, they look so creepy-pretty!

You are one bold pioneer - both with fashion and with exploration! I would have never thought to pair two horse patterns together. Then again, I guess I don't own even one horse pattern...I must remedy this!

how cute, a horse sweater and a horse dress!
I'm so glad you found a way inside, I always wanted to know how it looks.. and now my heads spinning stories about the old times in this train^^

I love that you've brought new life to these neglected spaces! It's amazing what beauty can be found tucked away out of site. Lovely pics, I look forward to seeing more train car photos. :)
I love your outfit :)
Really nice mixing of similar patterns. :)

Wow how beautiful. I love abandoned places. It seems you have hit an aesthetic gold mine!
I love your outfit and your hair styling in these photos!
Wonderful all around!

you look so pretty in your photos! and that sweater is just too cute.
I wish I lived somewhere with as much history. I love exploring, but I live very far from anywhere that I could have an sort of exploring adventures.

I love all your horse print and how AWESOME that you found a way into this abandoned train! I want to go exploring!
This is so perfect I kind of want to die! In a good way.
Love your outfit! Is fantastic!

I love the horseprint on your clothes, it's playful yet also elegant! And I definitely agree with you about the beauty of the faded walls of the train. It's a great background for your outfit too!

mixed horse print? that's amazing! and this setting makes me want to step inside some old trains myself - I'm afraid I won't find anything this cool, though!
I think these might be some of your best photos ever, if not the very best! That train car is simply magical, your hair is adorable, and I have serious sweater envy :) Just lovely in every way.
How fantastic!! Its so cool that you were able to find your way into that train car. I hope you can take photos in the sleeping car. That would be neat.
And the cute horse ensemble you're sporting is adorable!! Love the sweater.
Cute outfit Rebecca, and I love what you did to your hair! It sort of looks like a hair style from the 40s, did you try that on purpose? That looks like so much fun, exploring around the train cars!! Do you feel like Nancy Drew in search of a clue to a mystery?
Yay to being adventurous!
The inside of the train looks really cool and your hair is so so pretty.
Happy Monday Rebecca!

Exploring new places is so fun! These pictures just prove it :) I've been slowly exploring my neighborhood. It seems like a lot of people are super into halloween, which I LOVE.

I love the combo of the horse sweater and the horse dress. Such a cute way to mix two different prints of the same genre.
I wish my hair turned out like yours when curled. Very cute!
So cute! I love it all. xo, rv

For a second I thought you had posted a pic of a movie scene!
You look really great! I love your outfit so much =)

Wow, what a great find! You always have the best scenery to work with.
@Anonymous, thank you! No, I just rag-curled it and wasn't sure what to expect b/c the short 'do is still rather new. I definitely got a retro vibe from it when it came down though. :)
Hm, I don't know if I feel like Nancy Drew...I usually just feel a bit nervous that I'm going to stumble across someone or some rabid animal. I like the idea of being Nancy Drew tho!
I know I'm way behind but I love the new hair! it's amazing
Love your "pic stories" :-p
rebecca, i'm not nearly as adventurous as you, when seeking photography places, & scenery. completely worth the risk. great color combo with patterns in your outfit!

It looks spooky in there, but pretty at the same time. :]
That bag is fabulous. Love the new scenery it's super cool how you got inside. Great pictures as always!
Great outfit, love the quirky-ness of this look. Your hair looks fab, the location is great and the print clash is amazing! x
I simply adore everything in this post. Your hair looks lovely, your outfit is perfectly cute and then there is this old train. It must hold so much history but is now left abandoned and alone.. wow.. I hope to see more of the inside of these trains when you find a way into them !
Your hair looks so very very pretty! I love the horse prints. My new favourite H&M skirt has a horse print :D
so cool!
oh these trains are so wonderful! I would love to explore them myself!
oh my goodness, these pictures are just too amazing. what a great find! it's so pretty in there.
love love love the double horse print!
I love your hair like this! Clearly I am not alone. (;
This photo shoot/outfit combination is so cute I don't even know what to say. I loooooove the matching horse prints and the brightness of your hair against that background. Plus the poses and setting just offset everything so well!

This is one great outfit.
These photos are beautiful! I love the curls in your hair too, so pretty.
hi! i was just wondering where u got your rings from! they're gorgeous!
@jillianelodie, the "love" ring is by lush, the opal ring is actually something my father got me at a small boutique when I was a teen.
Oh my! Love your new curly hair! So cute! The horse prints are sooooo you!
Ash :o)

Very miu miu! Loving the hair :)
Your hair curls are very nice like that ! Also the photos are amazing, this train looks to be out of time...
Trip in my dressing
I had to come back and comment again after I saw Jayma Mayes on "Go Fug Yourself" wearing the SAME SWEATER. I could hardly believe my eyes. 2 cute redheads in horse sweaters. (Of course, I prefer the way you have it styled but I think the sweater is darling either way.)
Wow, I really like the way you do your hair, it's so stylish! Plus, the outfit is also nice, really like the color scheme & the pattern mix.
GREAT hair AND nailp polish!
These pictures are awesome! I love that you made your way inside that old train. It's so cute inside. I really enjoy the double horse print in this outfit. Your curled hair is adorable too.
Your hair looks so gorgeous!! I absolutely love you outfit, the train is super cool and so inspiring
These pictures are amzazing! Love the print of your skirt and jumper :)
Rebecca! I love this post, and this series of photos. I would love to see many more shots of your explorations. Perhaps you might've posted them on your tumblog--you know, the ones without outfit shots in them?
I love how you contrast nicely against the gorgeous sea-foam green (I, too, love it) with your goldenrod sweater and horse prints... another study in opposition. Crumbling old grandeur with modern yet retro glamour. Youth vs age, organic vs manmade (organic, as in you, being human and all).... I love this post SO MUCH.
On another note: you'll be happy to know I'll be permanently (for the foreseeable future) in your old stomping grounds in 53 days!

Mae Lu @ thereafterish.!
Your hair looks adorable. I love the mixing of two different horse prints and the colors are wonderful! :)
I love this post for so many reasons.
First - your hair looks fantastic!
Second - I am obsessed with all things horse print lately and thus am completely enamored with this outfit.
Third - I LOVE exploring old abandoned things and am admittedly a little jealous of your fabulous discovery of the interior of an old train car. Amazing!
when did you cut your hair?! i LOVE it. and the inside of the train is amazing. great find!
