The New Balcony

One of my favorite things about our new place is that my bedroom has access to the balcony. And a balcony is as close as I'll get to a Southern porch for the time being. Perfect for sipping an ice cold beer, reading a novel, chewing the fat, and taking outfit photos.


Dress by AA, book by Jeffery Eugenides, Beer by Brooklyn Brewery


Earrings (my absolute favorite pair from a stall in Murcia, Spain $2), scarf from H&M (last one, swiped off the mannequin sitting on the shelf. Thanks, fellow scarf swiper Pam!), tank from AA, bubble skirt from Target a few years back, boots from A&E (5 yrs old).


Sweater from Target, tunic/dress (yes... it is a weeee bit on the sort side, I'm channeling my inner Jane Birkin) from Kaleidoscope, belt and boots thrifted.

Happy hump day (gurge)! Almost on the downside to the weekend!

Very jealous of the balcony. Oh I love how you wore the fringey scarf on the front like that... Very pretty. And the Jeffrey Eugenides book. Are you enjoying that? I liked Virgin Suicides and tried to get through a few chapters of Middlesex, but kept getting distracted. Grrr

What a cute little balcony! That must be nice. Love your fringe and the pink cowboy boots are quite a find. Only a short little dress would really be right for them.

greenjeans said...

did you two fight over the room with the door to the balcony? paper, rock, scissors?

I could never get through Middlesex...you are a better reader than I.

I LOVE those boots!! And the chairs on the balcony are soo cute.. I would LOVE to have a balcony. I've even thought about climbing out on the roof here but I can't get the window open where that would be possible.. old house... :\ Oh well, maybe one day I'll have a glamorous penthouse apt that will have one ;)
