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!

    I support short dresses, I think they're quirky. Also, your balcony looks lovely, so bright and cheery!

    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.

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 ;)
