The Last Rows of Summer

Hello every one of my lovely readers! This week I saw something I hadn't seen in a long time: readers on my map from Poland! How exciting! Thank you for stopping by!

Tree branches that are so cool, one has to photograph them!

I took some photos late this summer, and decided I needed to post them before everything on this blog became about winter. (Just a week ago it was still quite warm, suddenly now I feel as if I should be bringing a sweater with me everywhere, just in case!)

Summer: Gotta love it before it's gone.

I was told the dappled light under the tree would make the subjects of the photos too difficult to see, but I think they came out pretty decently, all things considered.

Also, I got to see some really great art on Sunday. Here was my favorite:

I also stopped by a little book shop you may have heard of, and noticed how much I liked being there. The light of early evening seems golden and magical to me. It's always great to look at someone you love in this light, I've found. :)

A little photography by yours truly...

 That's all for now, my dear readers! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Wednesday!

Still Pleased

Looking through some old photos, I came across some that I'm still happy with. Here, in a friend's house, I felt comfortable and thoughtful.

"Hi."

  Also, I knew my outfit was pushing me out of the 'normal' for me when my sister asked me "You're going out like that... really?" I think she found the use of the belted scarf weird. I liked that different touch, though.

My friend is good with those details, yes?

Because of a sweepstakes for JustFab shoes, I signed up for Refinery 29. I could have deleted them when I didn't win, or when I decided I didn't want my debit card number being known by someone who openly wanted to charge me for shoes every month, but I've kept looking at the articles that come through.

Lately, I look at some of the photos and say "Great dress... let's scroll down... No, No, NO, NO! Ladies, what happened?! Why sneakers with evening wear?!!"

After more than a month saying "Why not ballet flats? Or some comfortable, 2 inch heels?" I saw this article in my inbox. It boasted showing how this sneaker street fashion thing was really done. I clicked on it saying to myself "Seriously, teach me! I don't get this concept!"

After taking a look around this pictorial, I think I'm starting to get it. I'm not sure when, if ever, you'll see this look on Something New, but at least I'm not totally closed minded to the thought of it anymore. (Isn't that a major feature of growing gracefully?)

So I putting it out there for all of you: What do you think of this fashion trend?

Thanks for reading: Happy Friday!
