Dear Junkyard


First, let me say that I am very much aware that I definitely should not be writing this post. I have a million things due that I'm supposed to be working on, but I couldn't wait to post this set of photos. That brings me to my second point, I love this post. Jenn and I spent Saturday pretending to work on homework at a little breakfast place in town, but getting distracted instead. After giving up on the idea entirely, we finally returned to the junkyard behind her apartment to take pictures. Even though it wasn't as awesome as it was last time, it still made for a pretty great backdrop. And as usual, Jenn takes the best pictures for me. I do love that these were taken with my camera though. It makes me feel cool.

After selling some stuff on ebay, I decided to use of my Paypal balance to take advantage of the Emerging Thoughts sale and was able to pick up this Dear Creatures dress for ridiculously cheap. That makes two Dear Creatures dresses that I've owned and gotten for way cheaper than I should have. It's by far one of my favorite brands and sometimes I have pinch myself to make sure that I'm not dreaming about them being in my closet. I really just can't get over this dress though. It may not fit exactly how I want it to, but it's still everything a dress should be in my eyes. 

Also, help me get rid of stuff and buy my things! I even have a Lauren Moffat skirt and Ella Moss vest for sale. 









Oh, and I have some exciting internship stuff going on, but I'm going to wait to share until everything is set in stone. Just know that it's good. Really good. 

Dress: Dear Creatures via Emerging Thoughts

  22. Ooooh, that dress is pretty! (I agree, Dear Creature dresses are so lovely and it's always really wonderful when you can find something so nice for a really reasonable price.) The colors of this dress look just stunning on you, the teal really brings out your gorgeous hair but I love how you paired this pretty dress with the oxfords! The brown gives the dress another level of dimension and cuteness.

    I always like the pictures you take at this junkyard, it has the most interesting things in it! Just look at those old tractors and equipment! It's a photographer's dream. :)
