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

Very cute outfit :) Love the floral skirt.

I rarely do picnics, but love them! I tend to overthink things so end up with waaay too much food!

Same here! It's always like some mini banquet with me. Haha. I don't know why. This Thursday, there's a rad outdoor movie event happening. My partner and I have gone to this twice already. It's like our annual tradition, I guess. Anyway, I bought a proper picnic blanket and a wooden picnic basket (but I don't think it has shipped yet unfortunately). We're going to bike down with our stuff in my bike basket. There will be hundreds of people, so it's not exactly my ideal picnic, but I'll take what I can get. Haha. Now, I just need to figure out what kind of food to bring (and how much!) ;P

Yes! Pesky bugs, Mosquitoes, especially. They are so useless! They really don't serve any purpose whatsoever. Hehe. Thanks, Ivy! <3

Ahh! Like everyone else here I've been wanting to go on a picnic. Sometimes it's hard to find the ideal time to do picnic activities-- especially on beautiful, but very windy days.

Anyways, on your outfit: I like the clash of prints...stripes and floral!

I totally lol'd at "you can bet your sweet ethereal internet ass" :) Great post! I wish I had your height to wear those kinds of skirts--so nice!! I love that style, but when I've tried, I always end up looking like I escaped a Mormon compound :F Btw - I have tried, with some success at the beach, to ward off flies and things with unlit citronella candles. Or peppermint oil or tea tree (Community Pharmacy ftw) diluted in water and spritzed around you (or on you)....you could prob find a more legit recipe on the net ;D
