MandoPhoto ~ In the woods







When going to Centerville, Tx, in the beautiful Pine Tree filled woods during the Fall, I can't help but to want to do a little photo-shoot. I had to talk myself into it, as I felt kind of silly getting a little dolled up, and tromping out of everyone's sight with my tripod to shoot pictures all by myself. I knew I would regret it if I didn't, and I'm so glad I did. It was fun and just what I needed to boost my creative morale, and perhaps my self esteem.

The colors of nature were bright, the air a little brisk, and the sun glowing beautifully through the trees. The wind would kick up and the sound of the leaves and pine needles falling was so relaxing. I did not trek that far from "camp" at all, but it's amazing how the little downhill distance put me in a quiet place of solitude.

Outfit details:
Glasses - Zenni Optical
Cape - Vintage
Black top - Target
Denim Skirt - Thrifted

This cape was a major splurge for me last year, found in a vintage shop called Lula B's, I fell in love and couldn't resist, I didn't get a lot of chances to wear it and I'm looking forward to more chilly weather to work some outfits around it. Not to mention how much fun it is to swirl around. (my first animated gif!!! the quality diminished a bit, but I still dig it)

I did have some darling black boots to pair with this outfit, but they have a bit too much of a heel on them for me to set a timer on the camera and then run into place through the mushy pine needles, so I stuck with my comfy flats that I think are actually slippers and I've almost worn them completely out.


And because I can never take myself too seriously...
