The Frontier

The Frontier

I have to say that this is probably one of my favorite shoots yet. Cole and I had so much fun running through the tall grass and scrapping our shins on the brush, plus I got to wear the amazing ModCloth Chain Letter dress from Beatrice. It all started with Starr's awesome idea and then she passed it along to Rosie, who passed it to Beatrice, who then passed it to me! Now I'm sending it to a girl who has an affinity for pretty vintage dresses and a crush on Elvis...the lovely Quincy, of Q's Daydream!

The first time I spotted this dress on ModCloth, it was instant love. My only hesitation was that it's a bit lower cut than what I normally wear. The addition of a blouse underneath gives it a pinafore look that I adore. And with the arrival of my new hat, I knew that I wanted to pair the two together in a frontier style- a little girly, a little rustic. I was even tempted to carry Cole's shotgun (used for skeet shooting purposes only) during the shoot to channel Annie Oakley, but decided that would probably be a bit much. Maybe next time. ;)

Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling.
