The Wild Sea Is Calling Me

Last weekend, Chris and I went to the lighthouse because I had to take pictures in this lighthouse print dress in front of the lighthouse. It's one of my favorite places! When I saw this dress on ModCloth, I knew I had to have it. I love lighthouses and nautical things too much to not own this dress. It runs a little small, so I had to size up which unfortunately meant that the bust is a little too big, but it's not a big deal at all. I still love this dress and it's very comfortable and a great length!

The hat is the other vintage one that I got at the vintage show at the beginning of April. The tag says it's from the 20s! It also said it was $55, but I got it for only $5. When I got it, I knew I wanted to wear it with this dress. It works well for a beachy outfit.

I'm making it a goal of mine this summer to finally tour the inside of a lighthouse and climb up to the top. I tried a couple of times last summer, but the people who ran the tours of the lighthouse I was trying to see were just really unreliable. This time I'm going to find a lighthouse that does consistent, scheduled tours and just go!

These red shoes are really proving to be a good investment. I've worn them a lot and it helps that they are pretty comfy. I've said this before, but I really love wearing red. I love making it the main color of an outfit, but I also love adding it to an outfit to give it that extra pop. It's a really versatile color!

Welp, it's May already! The time is going by so fast, maybe because I'm keeping so busy. This month I'm excited to see the new Spiderman movie, see The Aquabats live, and to have a small break from classes before the summer semester. As of today, I will officially have two weeks of not having to worry about assignments, readings, or any schoolwork! Hooray!

  4. I love this outfit! Weirdly I think my favourite part is the cardigan....stupid I know when the rest of the outfit is so cute but I spend half my life looking for cropped jackets & cardigans that would work in my wheelchair.

  12. Aww, that bust does look a little big. Does the dress have a side zip? You could try running the sides down slimmer with a straight stitch on a sewing machine? Alternatively if it does have a side zip, you should try darts, they're awesome!

  17. I love pairing my outfit to the surroundings, it's just too fun an opportunity to miss.
    I have never actually been to a lighthouse, sounds weird and I'm not even sure why I haven't but some day I'll go.

  18. That dress is so pretty! I feel like it is just screaming for a vintage-y petticoat! And what a great deal on that hat!
