Ooof! I hope this post isn’t too much of a photo overload… I know there’s a lot here, but I really found it difficult to narrow them down, especially with so many more pictures left on the cutting room floor ~ metaphorically speaking of course.
I had such fun taking this series of photographs. As silly as it might sound, I have been eagerly waiting for the wattle to bloom this year. I have worn this outfit, or variations of it, all through winter, but I knew that the best backdrop to showcase it would be my favourite golden yellow puffballs.
So I waited through the wintertime months, and here we are finally. Yay!
But while I snapped lots of pretty pictures, and have loads of inspiration for future ensembles, photo shoots, makeup tutorials, YouTube videos, and more ~ I really am feeling the writer’s block side of blogging at the moment.
I can’t quite tell if it’s because life is chugging along too quietly, and so I have no stories to tell, or if it’s because my usual round of winter colds and flues have drowned my brain with all the world’s supply of unwanted liquids… It’s really snot fun..… ₍₍ ₍₍ ｡｡｡(๑• •๑) *snufflesoff*
Lol. My Mister’s dad jokes have finally infected me for good. No wonder I succumbed to that cold.
One thing I do have to say though ~ how hard it is to find navy shoes?!
Even our wonderful vintage reproduction shoe brands don’t really seem to do blue shoes, so I’m on an everlasting hunt to add a pair{actually ~ let’s face it, two or three pairs in different era and season styles, as well as hues!} to my wardrobe.
Because, as you might be able to tell, my navy obsession is going strong ~ I am just as infatuated with the shade as I was last summer. Around about the end of last year, I decided to start collecting all the midnight blue items I could find that fit my aesthetic sensibilities, and I don’t think I shall be stopping anytime soon.
It’s such a classic hue. One I really love to wear, partly because it’s also a bit rare these days and you don’t find much of it around {unless it’s little girls clothing… Because only toddlers and babies can wear navy??}.
Haha, but you know I love anything a little bit {or a lot! ✧٩(•́⌄ - ́๑) } different.
Now I’m going to put to the hive mind ~ anyone know of a good 40s or 50s reproduction, or even vintage-looking, navy shoes{vintage isn’t as helpful with this quest because high chances are they won’t fit my feet. Just so you know, having babies really changes ALLLL of your body!}?? Have you found any of these rare treasures? If so, please spill!
Also, what’s your most-sort-after-hard-to-find shoe colour? I’m sure I can’t be the only vintage gal out there with the agonising problem of trying to match her shoe colour to her gloves, hat or purse…
xox,
bonita
