I believe I was meant to deal more with languages. I was a writer in high school and still have a lot of my writing up, studied multiple languages (which now means I can answer you in mangled Fren-anish-ese which is a French/Spanish/Japanese mess with the one phrase in German I remember), and am always the one who 'gets' what one is saying despite it making no sense. I stopped writing as a creative outlet years ago simply because all that beautiful teenage angst left, and no one wants to read mushy love poems about how perfectly normal and great my relationship with my husband is. I focus more now on the people I can connect with - and that's why I am so thankful for the friendships I have gotten through blogging. So thanks everyone for having these pseudo conversations with me - I've been loving it.
This scarf is one I hand knit over lunches at one of my favorite jobs I have ever had. It's a wonderful alpaca blend yarn - only issue is it rolls like crazy - but I still love it. Also - I decided I hated the ankle straps on these shoes, so I cut them off. I'm much happier now.
I should also mention that these photos are taken under a bridge in the smack darn center of a two way street in a not-so-nice area in Harrisburg. And my husband doesn't worry about me.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photoshoot location; glad you are safe :)
I love that scarf Katherine and I thought you may have bought it from Anthro, but you knitted it yourself? Impressive. Also, I love the mustard cardigan and the pictures look amazing as always.
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous ice cream dress and the bright yellow sweater is absolutely perfect with it <3
ReplyDeleteLove from the NaNa girls xoxo
Great skirt!

I want your sweater and your scarf.
ReplyDeleteI love language too. I know a bit of French, Spanish and obviously English but no other languages except a phrase here and there. Language and writing is a beautiful thing :)
That is such a cute dress! I love the mustard cardi. A great transitional piece.

Girl you best be careful! I can't believe the things I've been hearing about Harrisburg lately! So sad because just a year or so ago they were cleaning up the city but I guess they ran out of money!
ReplyDeleteMy co-worker has been teaching me Spanish. I can say about three phrases so that's a plus for me! I do wish I knew more.
LOL! That's the adventure of it! Loving the skirt!
ReplyDeleteLove the ice cream dress! So very cute. I wish I had picked up knitting when I was younger, it seems like you can do so much with it. Needless to say, you look cute, as always <3

Beautiful outfit and great background!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific place to shoot photos - you looks so happy, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying the weekend. xx
You look gorgeous! I cannot believe you knit that scarf, it is beautiful! I am actually doing a scarf DIY for my Makeover Monday tomorrow, but it is just simple sewing, yours is so much more impressive. This background is beautiful as well, wow. Did you just use a self timer with your camera on auto? I always love to hear other bloggers tripod tips, etc, I love how your shots are so focused with the background blurred- so much to still learn about my camera! Anyway, hope you are having a beautiful Sunday!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Sherbet dress on you from ModCloth. I remember when I wrote that one post about how to wear it through all four seasons and I was surprised when you left a comment saying how you were wearing it at that very moment. I've been eye-ing (eying?) that dress for a few weeks now because of the lovely assortment of colors but you pull it off really well so I think I'll just admire it on you instead. (:
ReplyDeleteI love that dress! It's adorable! You have such a way of putting outfits together. I wish I had your skillzzzzz.

ReplyDeleteI love this outfit, I have a mustard cardigan and am definitely going to have to try it out over a cute dress. I love the scarf and can't believe you knit it! I don't think I have the patience for knitting, I am super impressed. Love these photos

I think the writing is the most important part of blogging anyway. I also know one phrase in German. Although I do think your shoes are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf! I recently pulled out my crochet hooks and started some new projects :)
ReplyDeleteWow the location of those photos is really neat! Good thing no cars were coming!!
ReplyDeleteI agree though, I love the little blogger connections, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, hehe. :)

adorable outfit! & cute scarf.. I can't wait to start wearing scarves again. hooray for fall!
ReplyDeleteOh, My
File cutting the ankle straps off of shoes under "Why Didn't I Think of That"! I'm under 5' tall. Needless to say, ankle straps are one of my worst enemies.
ReplyDeleteYou're adorable, lady!
Love your handmade scarf, you've done a great job. Great that it's alpaca wool, so soft and warm!
ReplyDeleteI love that printed dress and the mustard color cardigan makes the outfit so perfect for fall (well that and the awesome hand knit scarf). I'm still trying to decide if I should get a mustard cardigan but this outfit is really making me want to get one!
ReplyDeleteI love having conversations with you :) Also I love your scarf! I can't wait until it cools off here and I can wear one.

ReplyDeleteLove the scarf! I never was successful at knitting. I once had a project for school and all I turned up with was a piece of red rag. Haha! I got a barely passing mark!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute outfit and it screams YOU. I love it all - that ice cream print, the beautiful shoes, a touch of mustard. You look adorable :)
ReplyDeleteThat ice cream print is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat scarf really does look so plush and soft! Alpalca blend, you say? :) and goodness, the ice cream print on that skirt is seriously precious. I love it when navy and yellow are paired together--they work so well!
ReplyDeleteLove these shots! Such a unique area to shoot in! The scarf is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI agree...my writing is much different now that I am married, happy, and "normal". =)
I love your scarf! It looks so cozy and it's so awesome that you made it yourself! I also love your mustard colored sweater - one of my favorite colors for fall!
ReplyDeleteI love your thoughts on writing, I feel the same way! your skirt is lovely and the scarf is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, how great that you know multiple languages! I think it's so beautiful when people mix their languages together. And the printed dress is adorable...bravo for braving that location!
ReplyDelete1)I love your cowl
ReplyDelete2 )I'm so jealous you can knit- I WISH I was that talented! you could totally make animal hats for etsy.
3) you live in pennsylvania, right? we should totes plan a camping weekend!
Your French is waaaaay over my head. It's been a long time since I took French in High School.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Soooo excited you are going to try the book clutch tutorial! Especially since you are going to use a dictionary... doesn't get much more nerdy chic than that. ;)
LOL I love that you just CUT the straps off of your shoes cause you didn't like them. That's totally something I would do. LOVE this sweet fall outfit. I wish it was cool enough in my neck of the woods for knitting scarves!
ReplyDeleteOk. Offical favorite outfit i've seen on you!
ReplyDeleteTHOSE WEDGES!and skirt omg.

DeleteI am right there with you, man I love to write. Unfortunately I might still be in the angsty-teenage-poems phase. But I'm enjoying it! I love writing on my blog sometimes, I feel that no one really needs those posts, but it's nice to get my thoughts out anyways. And I journal non-stop, sometimes more than others. Lately it's been a page+ a day!
ReplyDeleteThat dress has ice cream cones on it?! Yeah just send that my way. That is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen!
This is an awesome place to take pictures! You could pass it as a cathedral in Rome or something!
perfectly priya
The icecream print is such a fun print! Love the quirkiness in it!

ReplyDeleteI've already told how much I love that dress but I probably like it even better with that cardigan! You have such great style!
ReplyDeleteLove the the cute ice cream print on the skirt!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful that you know or at least studied that many languages back then. I never took a language. I'm sad I didn't, but they only had Spanish and French and I wanted German and Japanese which they got rid of the year as I was signing up in a new school. . .It is sad. You look so cute.

ice cream print dress? I like

I LOVE that dress!
ReplyDeleteI am so skeptical about buying from Modcloth ever since I bought a dress and had to return it because the quality was so poor. It was misshapen and completely see through. I was so angry because I was really excited.
How do you feel about their dresses?
