Goodness gracious. Could the weather up here be any worse? The past few days have been terrible! The wind hasn't stopped blowing in days and I loathe the wind. Yesterday night I spent two hours driving around trying to find somewhere that was decent to take pictures. FAIL. I seriously thought I was going to blow away. Luckily I had these pictures saved up from a few days ago when I was able to find a sort of non-windy place to take pictures inside a skeletal house.
With winning the Revolve styleguide contest, I got a gift certificate to RevolveClothing.com, and I decided to splurge and get some Seychelles, since I'd never spend $100 on shoes with my own money! I've wanted these shoes for soooo long, and they didn't have my size, but I figured since they're booties it wouldn't matter as much. So they're two sizes too big, but I'm loving them! They smell like amazing leather. I seriously opened the package like a 5 year old opening a birthday present, and then all I could do was sniff them. I think I must have an affinity for the smell of leather. It reminds me of when I used to ride horses. I would spend hours cleaning my tack and I love the smell of nice supple leather. Nostalgia.
If you're wondering what is on my arm, it's a fake tattoo. I was really bored at work and just started drawing on my arm. Throughout the week it just kept growing! I used to draw tattoos on my arm all the time in high school. At one point I actually did tattoo flash and designed tattoos for people. I think a couple people have tattoos that I've drawn. As for my fake one, I finally washed it off this afternoon. It was funny to see what a conversation starter it was. Everyone thought it was real! I wouldn't get a tattoo on my forearm, I dislike interacting with strangers too much. Though maybe it would force me to put myself out there? Haha.

Oh, I've been dying for those booties, too! They look awesome on you.
No wonder your drawing looks like a real tattoo! You're so good at sketching them.

You can send some of that wind down to Florida! It's been like a sauna down here. Last night it was still suffocatingly humid and muggy at 10pm.
I love this outfit -- especially the shoes (and the tat) :)
Love your skirt and the shoes are amazing!

Loving those shoes - so fabulous! And your floral skirt is lovely too.
Sick tatt! Haha love it. You should seriously consider getting something like that done when you're on your Brave trip. Like start with something in Alaska, then each state you visit get it added to. That would be awesome.
Ugh I hate the wind too, it's awful when you are trying to take outfit pictures and your hair is flying all over and your dress is flapping crazy in the wind!
You should totally go for a tattoo there! I was actually kinda excited and thought it was real, it would look so awesome!
What a talented artist!! I agree with Maria! You are good at sketching them. I know someone who designs tattoos for stores and they make a gooooood living. you should look into it if you want some extra cash at all. ;)
geez did you do that with a pen? maybe you should get back into designing tattoos!
Aww *_* Amazing outfit!
I love it is so colorful ^^
And I love your shoes *_*
Kisses!
Cool outfit. Love the fake tattoo.. mine never turned out that convincing :-)
Haha, I thought at first that I had missed something - I definitely thought it was real at first glance! Maybe not on your forearm, but do you think you will get a tattoo?
HAHA! i love your fake tattoo!! you are one amazing artist :). i saw your feature in Revolve's style guide and gah you just get more and more gorgeous! love all of your posts <33

You have such cute style! I love that you love winnebagos! I have a special affinity for VW buses and westfalias, the bus with the camper built in. You definitely have it made with your Brave!

wow -- i think i would definitely consult with you if i ever got a tattoo! that brave is gorgeous!
Those booties are so precious! And something similar happened to me a few days ago, I was trying to take pictures standing on giant rocks on the beach and the wind kept blowing me over!!! OY.
Yeah, I'm so over this weather. At least the wind isn't blowing today, but the clouds can just move along anytime.
LOVE the shoes!!
those booties are so great, as is the fake tattoo! Super cute :]
Your skirt is fabulous!
I must know: Isn't it uncomfortable walking in booties 2 sizes too big? Or do you get cool little inserts to make them fit? Just curious!
That said, I love the booties, they look adorable on you.
Frick-when I first left a message it wasn't windy. Now it is. Geesh.
Doing anything for Solstice?
I have been wanting a skirt like that for awhile now. after seeing this, my hunt is now active again! it looks great with those shoes btw
Your shoes are to die for! I LOVE seychelles (and your sense of style)!
I love the color in this outfit. Those shoes were definitely worth that $100, with or without your gift card... they look awesome! Sometimes I'm forced to buy shoes that are a bit too large for me as well, because my feet are tiny! Sometimes I just give up and look in the kid's shoe section, but then I remember that I don't really like Barbie on my sneaks...
That would be an amazing tattoo!
That fake tattoo is pretty cool. I love the colors of this outfit. The green cardigan and floral skirt is very cute combo.
I absolutely love the shape of the heel on your shoes.
I looove the green cardigan and you are so talented I really thought it was a tattoo. :)
