duckies


None of my full length outfit posts turned out right, and I got one too many weird looks by people passing by to keep trying. This was the first shot of the day, which I hated because of the sun glare, but I admit I kind of like it now.
blouse (I love the collar!) - thrifted, skirt - AA, belt -
that package from Rebecca

A couple of darling duckies swam over while I was taking pictures. I like to think they were attracted to my yellow Swan necklace.

I made the necklace using a vintage metal pendant - which I was thrilled to discover during one of my thrifting trips. There are several more in different colours. Expect to see them in my Etsy shop soon (it's about time I updated that thing, no?)! *EDIT* Listed and now available here.

P.S. don't forget to check out my giveaway in the last post, if you haven't already.

Oh my, I LOVE the collar on your blouse! It's so dainty and feminine. And that swan necklace is awesome, too. I'm amazed that you can make those pendants for your shop because I can never do anything like that. Kudos to you!

Diana said...

i have the same question as diane! that looks like a obscure book i've never read.

i really love the pic with the purple skirt.

First off, I think adding your drawings to your Etsy shop is a great idea! I also think the $5-10 range seems reasonable :)

So many good things about this post, Anna! It looks like you enjoyed a wonderful afternoon, the ducks are adorable, and the sun glare adds a lovely, dreamlike quality to your 2nd photo. You look very chic, as well. Beautiful blouse. That collar! Love! I also like the look of the bronze-y/gold belt against your purple skirt. And, I can't forget to mention how awesome your swan necklace is! :)

You shouldn't have to apologize for these awesome look! I think the sun glare is just pretty (and I'm the fool lover of sunflares,LOL) and your outfits is beautiful. I agree with everyone about the feminine collar - and the duck necklace is so sweet! Esp. the fact that it's a YELLOW necklace, oh it's just so adorable. You seemed like having such lovely afternoon. :)

I love ducks! The pictures in this post have such a perfect mood (from the lighting, I suppose) and I love the detail on your top.

Rebecca said...

That blouse is so cool! I always try to look for pretty lacy things when I go thrifting, but it's so hard to find white blouses that are in good condition. I'm also constantly impressed by the jewelry you make! :)

Gabbi said...

Lovely outfit! The sun shining behind you is such an amazing shot. Your duckies and swan pendants are adorable also... xo

Missa said...

Your outfit is so classically lovely and the ducky pendant adds just the right amount of whimsy.

Also, I love that photo. I think it's really cool how your head is disappearing into the light. I can sympathise though, taking outfit photos out in public is the worst!
