Horses!

Photobucket

Photo by my sister! (Attempt at editing by me...) Kat's away for the whoolleee month, so since my sister takes lessons at the stables she was nice enough to snap a few pictures for me!

This was taken at those stables I was writing about before...the whole place is actually pretty small, but there are soo many lovely places I want to take pictures by! The old abandoned green house I was tellin' you all about is sort of tucked away in the back, and I feel sort of funny taking pictures there, but I still might try! I was picking my sister up from her lessons today when I thought it would be pretty to take some pictures in front of the little building when a certain Mr. Horse decided to pop his head out to say hello! I guess he wanted to have his picture taken too!

The photo itself really doesn't do this dress justice, but I love it so! I bought it from Q's Daydream's wonderful etsy store a little bit ago, and only got around to shortening it just the slightest this past week! I love the little puff sleeves and ruffly pockets, and I think my most favorite part is the little collar! Oh! And I was inspired by '30s Depression era photos for this one!

1930s dress- vintage, from Q's Daydream on etsy
Bow headband- Forever 21
Skinny belt- Urban Outfitters

Oh dear, that dress is too good to be true, and you look like you stepped right out of a '30s movie!

Ooh how cute! There are some stables near me that I found accidentally the other day! They're so hidden, and it's really weird because it's just sort of plopped in the middle of the city! I love how the horse sort of matches your dress!

Also, I apologize if this is creepy and if it's the sort of thing you're sot of keeping under wraps for blog purposes, but where do you live? I've been wondering ever since you wore that little striped top from the Saratoga antique store!
