Trains Scoop Neck Dress: Cath Kidston (sold out)

Wide red belt: Pinup Girl Clothing

JumpFromPaper Travel Fever bag (knock-off): AliExpress (try eBay or the original)

Watch ring: Mom's

First things first... the bag.  JumpFromPaper bags look really neat in person, but they photograph even better!  I really love this one.  I feel like a bad person because I've bought both of my JumpFromPaper(-esque) bags from eBay type sites - and I know neither is actually the real deal.  They're really similar to the real thing, but there are subtle differences with the decorative aspects (especially on the suitcase one).  Unfortunately, real JumpFromPaper bags are pretty pricy, and even though I want to support businesses like theirs, I'm also a selfish American who wants cool features at cheap prices.  So eBay and AliExpress (the latter of which you should use at your own risk - I had a fine experience, but many do not) won out in the end.

The print of this dress is so charming.  I feel like I need to be going on a trip whenever I wear it.

I feel like it's kind of okay for me to wear obviously-fake glasses because I actually do wear glasses/contacts.  Maybe not as tooly.  Maybe.

We're having a bunch of extended family over today for a belated July 4th celebration while my grandma is still in town.  Patriotic pictures will be forthcoming.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

My camera battery died as I was taking these photos.  Luckily, it was my favorite time of day, so the lighting was decent and I was able to get some that I liked.  I enjoy looking like a flowery ballerina.

Not much else to say today, really.  I'm working tonight at the Independence Day concert for the orchestra here.  It's a bit of a drive, but it'll be fun if the weather holds out!

Have a lovely Wednesday.

Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly, lavender's green

Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, lavender's blue

If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you

Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, and the lambs play

We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way

Who told me so, dilly, dilly, who told me so?

I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so

Outfit Details:

Miss Indie Dress: ModCloth (no longer available)

White T-Strap Flats: Urban Outfitters

Bringing Down the Horse Ring: Hello Holiday

Petticoat: eBay

I am so thrilled I finally figured out a dress that works with my petticoat underneath!  It's a pretty voluminous one, and on the long (tea-length, I guess) side, so the previous dresses I've tried to wear it with have looked really silly.  But this beautiful Hell Bunny dress (which has been sitting in my closet since the winter, I think??) is perfect with it!  And I love that it was named after one of my favorite bloggers, Mandy from Miss Indie!

I really feel like I'm going to a sock hop or something in this outfit.  I need a 1950s/rockabilly-themed occasion so I can wear it out of the house backyard!

I am in love with this beyond adorable rocking horse ring!!  It's currently on sale at Hello Holiday!  I could hardly believe my luck that it wasn't sold out already -- it's so unbelievably cute!

Silly.
