the floral dance







(searching through an estate sale) 






(dress: re-run's, socks: target, everything else is either vintage or thrifted) 


   There is hint of chill in the air that I love so dearly, all around Kansas City. I walked to meet a friend for coffee this morning wrapped in a sweater... it was one of those mornings where I didn't feel like bringing my phone or my camera to document anything, just to simply be and talk. We ended later up trying to find a museum we read about in Swope Park, got lost on back roads, and explored bits of Loose Park and the rose garden there instead. 
   I am a huge fan of estate sales, so naturally I managed to find one within walking distance I had to venture to today. The house was dark, so compressed with antiques and "stuff" it was hard to keep my balance. I am rather glad I braved my way through the entire three-story house, because I picked up a vintage camera and some clothing for one dollar. I an so excited to find some film and shoot with this new find.

  3. Lovely photos! I love your dress! That camera is such a fun find! I can't believe you were able to find that and clothes for just a dollar! I guess I'd better start browsing estate sales!

  5. I love how you paired this dress with the socks! And I am a huge believer in estate sales- you can't beat them- beautiful things ( though it can be sort of sad) and sometimes the people running them can be a little stingy on the prices. But otherwise they are amazing! Alex

  6. Wow that dress is so pretty! And that garden is even more beautiful. Sometimes I think it is fun just to *be* in the moment rather than document it :).

Your layout is so spot on and this post is just beautiful, love how you've paired those red socks with the dress and made it work so well!
