03 Mar By the Lake, Vintage Style

Today was sunny and we decided to head out by the lake for pictures. I noticed this tree, and thought it was a great place for pictures. The first thought, however, was not to just look at the tree and think of it as a good place for shots, but rather ” boy, I would love to climb that! ” I am more of a tomboy, or have been as my husband and I met at a rock climbing class when I lived in Pittsburgh, PA. I thought, “I better get to know this guy if he is going to belay me and has my safety in his hands!” The rest is history. Although because of EDS I don’t get to climb anymore; I look for other ways of modifying activities.

I just love to be outdoors, and it was sunny, so I have been trying to think of a few poses. The hat I am wearing, that looks out of the 20s I bought in this neat artsy shop in Asheville, NC. My sweater dress is from Loft, a few years old, and the lace sleeves and neckline drew me in as it looked vintage and appealing. My navy handbag has ruffles on it, which adds more texture to the outfit. As you probably noticed, I am a fan of sweater dresses. The jacket was in another favorite green color and just the shape and style also looked vintage.
