Magic Mushrooms O_o o_O

10/3/2013

Anyone like psytrance? :DDD I used to really be into psy back in the day. It's the kind of music you listen to while eating mushrooms and staring at the ceiling. Haha. ;P Anyway, I figured this title would be appropriate since I am laden with shroom. :D It's cute, eh? I'm quite fond of this thrifted frock!

I love the way the mushrooms are scantily colored in and how they give off the impression that they're part of some sketch artist's notepad. It's 100% polyester, but the material feels soft as silk. It has spaghetti straps that form an X pattern in the back. I don't think I'll ever wear it by itself, though. Wearing a blouse underneath seemed like a much better way to go. I'm shy, I guess. Heh.

It was a beautiful day for a walk, so I did some very light layering. The heaviest piece is my thick knit cardigan. :P I'm really happy with this hat that I thrifted when I was on vacation in Austin. I got it from Buffalo Exchange for only $9. We don't have a Buffalo Exchange in my state, so my trip to Austin constituted my first experience shopping there. I have to say, I felt like a kid in a candy store. Haha. It was huuuuge and full of awesome clothes. I must have been in there for 2+ hours just browsing. ^_^

Anyway, I had only beanie hats and animal hats until I found this hat. I was looking for something more..sophisticated. Haha. Beanies and animal hats are cute and I love them, but I can't exactly wear them with everything. This hat, on the other hand, is perfect and you'll likely see me wearing it often.

I carried my backpack since my partner and I planned to get coffee somewhere along the way. I can't go for coffee without my laptop and a good book. :D I carried my makeup bag and iPhone in my purse.

The only other new item I'm wearing is my long sleeved lace blouse from TIL Darling. I got it on sale for just $12. I had been searching for a staple cream lace blouse forever. I'm really happy with this one!

I'm amazed how you manage to create such lovely layering every time! :)) This looks so feminine, classy and chic on you, while the mushrooms give a nice extra touch.

I absolutely love this outfit! That gorgeous marigold colored sweater is amazing with your beautiful skin and the blouse looks like it was made for that dress. Loving the hat too! Excellent all around!

I would totally scream with joy if you make layering tutorials, you are a freakin master. The lace blouse makes everything top notch. Also love the new hat, it's quite fancy indeed!

That dress is so cute! I'm on a bit of a mushroom kick (not drugs, mushroom merchandise) since I got my Modcloth logo tattoo. And that purse! It's too sweet! The scallops and the tassels combined is too cute!

Hey! Thanks! I just found out that the "dress" is actually a nightgown from Anthropologie! Haha <3 I just wore a nightie in public! Oh dear! ^_^

I appreciate you stopping by! I'll be sure to check out your blog!

A nightgown? How clever! I'm thinking more and more that certain lingerie is passable as outerwear, especially certain pretty nighties from the 70s (like the long maxi ones!) And I do indeed have a Modcloth tattoo! I have a photo of it posted in my <a href="http://acoinforthewell.blogspot.ca/2013/09/caffeine-apocolypse.html" target="_blank">blog entry here</a>. I really hope Modcloth never does anything to sour my opinion of them because their logo is stuck on me for good! Talk to you soon!

You look cute! Mustard colour looks amazing on you and that dress is lovely! I think it wouldn't look so nice without that lace blouse!

Hope you are well and happy!
Many kisses

This outfit is to die for. I'd totally wear something like this. Also, you have to share your thrifting secrets because this is yet another unbelievable thrifted find!

LOVE the mushroom dress. I know mushrooms are all the cool rage now, but I actually love photographing them when I am out tramping (hiking). My friends constantly tease me because I'm always on the lookout for new and unusual fungi. :D
