Dress-Up


I love raiding my mother's closet. We are similar sizes, though her legs are a bazillion times longer than mine (as are most people's). Tonight I found a couple of things that I could not help loving. These sailor pants which are, I admit, too big for me but so adorable I could ignore it if I somehow end up with them in Portland, no idea how that would happen... and this faded pink polka-dot ruffly blouse... I am sighing just describing it. I also found a plaid button down shirt and a belt that reminds me of the ones I fell in love with recently. Sorry if you seem to be missing some clothes when you get back, Mom.
Oh, and excuse my bad photos and modeling, please.

Films


Away We Go
If I could only have this shirt, and her belt collection...
A lovely dress... and another belt...
Australia, lots of riding and ranch clothes, I really like this style right now.
From The Changeling, I really love her pocketbook.

Her shirt in this scene is such a lovely color, I can't help but love it and her hat and her gloves, well, just everything really.

It seems like I always watch a lot of movies over the summer. I have seen three recently that I thought were all really good, and well... a little bit inspiring. But I am one of those people who can get really into a movie and may start yelling at the film while I watch it. I've learned to control myself when I'm with other people, for the most part, but when I was watching Australia and The Changeling by myself, there was quite a bit of screaming and a few tears. They were both wonderful movies, and I loved the wardrobes in both of them, I think if I could I would just take both of them in my size right this minute. They were both on really interesting subjects as well, a lot of people forget the stories of corruption that run deep in the history of humanity, I liked how well The Changeling addressed them and I honestly think Clint Eastwood could be one of my favorite directors, all his movies that I haven't seen have definately been added to my list of films to see, if they weren't already there. As for Australia, I loved it, it was like an old fashioned western mixed with a modern version of the classic romances. Ok, I might be saying a little much, I'm not a film critic or anything, I just found it really inspiring, esspecially the breathtaking landscape panoramas. It was so inspiring that I am planning on going up into the woods, or really to one of the lakes up the road, and taking some landscape photos tomorrow before I have to work. I am excited, I used to take a lot more landscapes, I think that my photography is kind of a reflection of how I am feeling, when I'm not looking at the whole picture I tend to take close-ups of objects and when I am looking at the picture as a whole, I think I tend to take landscapes more. I guess where I am really affects it too, you can't really take landscapes in your back garden, can you? Anyway, I am talking a lot more than I meant to, I'm sorry. The final film I was going to talk about is Away We Go. It was such a cute little comedy, I really loved it, esspecially the house at the end. I wish I could live there. Ok, I'm done; I need to get to bed if I'm going to go take pictures tomorrow. Night!
