In this outfit I feel like I stepped straight out of the cast of The Sound of Music where I was yodelling on top of a mountain. I think it's the innocence of the braided pigtails, the flouncy dress and the faux fur that has me feeling like Heidi, girl of the Alps. I promised you outdoor photos with my new camera and so this weekend I delivered. I love how the photos turned out, especially the close-ups with the faded background. I'm hoping to take a beginner's course to photography so I can use my Canon Rebel to its full potential! I wore this outfit on Sunday for an afternoon of book store browsing (I decided on Rules of Civility from Oprah's book club which is phenomenal thus far), followed by cheese and cocktails with a friend at a new restaurant in my area which has quickly become one of my favourites.

| {I thrifted this jacket for $4.99 and didn't realize until I was taking these photos that it's actually reversible! In the first picture I'm wearing it inside out with a fabric body and fur collar!} |
Wherever you live, I hope that you're staying warm and cosy!

All you need is a cup of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate in your hands and you will have it made. Great pics and good for you in taking a photography class. That's an excellent way to learn even more about a camera. Cute photo shoot!

You are adorable. I love the dress, the skirt is perfect, and the detail on the back makes it even better. Also your pig tails are the cutest.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pics Emily! You look so cute!
ReplyDeleteAww. So cute. I like the Sound of Music. I also like your braids.
ReplyDeletePhotography is fun! Definitely take a class or read some tips. I got my first Rebel at 16 and I didn't really know how to use it until a few years ago...such a waste!
So many fun things about this post Emily!! Points for the intricate detailing on the back of your dress (I wish more designers paid attention to the back of clothing), for discovering your jacket's a 2-for-1, for sharing a new Ottawa hotspot and showing off the results of your new camera.
ReplyDeleteHow is it I never have that kind of luck F21?! Next time I'm in Southern Ontario, I'll have to stop by Ottawa and get trained by you!
ReplyDeleteLove the back of that dress and love the floored boot socks
ReplyDeletei will.just start calling you Heidi!

ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. This is you're goshdarned cute. I love the braids, the fur, the dress! Adorable. I never had such good luck with F21.
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute! You just made me smile :) Love the twirling pictures. Heather

Emily I love your braids. Well actually I love everything about this post. What a fab fit on the dress and the back detail is awesome. You look so sweet and beautiful. Love the snow...what a trooper. Does your camera have a remote? Wanna hear more about it. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteThat dress is fantastic!! And that last photo is great you're right. I got a new camera for Christmas too but I need to figure out how to use it as well. It's a high end Canon compact and it's pretty great... but definitely not being used to its potential.
ReplyDeletelook at all that snow!!! loving the oomph-worthy detail on the back of that dress.
ReplyDelete[oomph.]
So cute--twirl! You look like you're having a good time, but I would have been freezing my ass off!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute! And so cold! I would never survive there. It was 80 degrees where I am today.
ReplyDeleteMy little friend, I actually watched Heidi a couple of weeks ago. I love that movie and blame it for my love of cheese and bread.
ReplyDeleteYou are no Heidi. That is the cutest outfit! Especially when you are twirling like a snow angel!
Take care stay warm and talk to you soon!
this is such a cute look! i love the hair and the socks and the cute furry jacket! my daughter's love the sound of music. they would be singing with you. and gotta love a freebie!!!
