Fistfuls of Butterflies

Hi guys! :D I just wanted to share an outfit I had put together over the weekend for brunch. The top is sleeveless and sheer and the skirt is unlined, so I kept cool as the temperatures rose throughout the day. The yellow cardigan is pretty light weight as well. I felt like the outfit needed that splash of color, but I also wanted to make sure that the outfit could stand alone, so to speak, if I needed to remove the cardigan for whatever reason. Overall, I think I looked nice with the cardigan either on or off. :D

As you can see, I also experimented with giving myself a break from the bun hair styles. Instead, I took a stab at doing a bit of a boy-cut look.
I like it, I guess. Hehe. I'm not fussy when it comes to my hair.

I'm really happy with this butterfly skirt that I thrifted! It's kind of overloaded, I guess. Haha. I just loved the cloud of insects on the black background. They create interesting patterns in the fabric and you can only make out the butterfly shapes when you look at the skirt up close. So, it's a fun aesthetic twist. Their incessant fluttering just draws your eyes and commands your attention. It's great! :D

The brown embroidered tassel purse is really fun to wear. I don't wear it often, but I really should. The best part about it for me (and the reason why I bought it in the first place) is the multi-colored lining! I'm a huge gaming nerd, so when I saw the lining, I instantly thought of Q*bert for Atari/Nintendo. :P <3

I Go To The Countryside All The Time...In My Head

If there was just one day a year that I could spend making cucumber sandwiches and stuffing them into picnic baskets laden with cheese and white wines in anticipation of getting away to a cottage in the countryside, you can bet your sweet ethereal internet ass that I would look forward to it and love it. I don't care how girly that makes me. By Zeus, that would be an amazing excursion! Heh. I've always wanted to have a picnic. It's something I've obsessed about for many years. Every time I've tried to have a picnic, it has been thwarted by rain or pesky summer vermin. Feh!  Stupid annoying bugs. >=\~

I don't dream about my perfect wedding. Rather, I dream about stuffing my face with cucumber sandwiches and washing that down with French wine on a blanket atop a grassy hill in the middle of nowhere in particular. I want to watch the sun set while lying in the grass, tummy full of cucumber sandwich goodness, and talk directly into my partner's face with my cucumber cheese wine breath.

That, my friends, is what dreams are made of and by Zeus, I will make this a reality. And as I bring my fate to her knees, I'd imagine that I would wear something very much like what you see before you. =P

I adore this striped tunic! I really didn't think I would like it as much as I did, either. I thought the lace collar would annoy me, but it's actually a really nice accent. To me, it's more sophisticated, than super girly.
I got a great deal on it, too, since it was on sale for just $25 and it was originally $80 or $90.  o_O
