    1960’s housedresses, flower pins, and headscarves

      If I look a bit tired in these photos, it’s because… I am. This morning I dredged my way out of bed at somewhere around 7:05, took a look at the makeup left over from yesterday (I have this bad habit of not washing my face at night), and decided that since I hadn’t taken outfit pictures in 10 days and Asa was still asleep, I didn’t care about the leftover makeup or the tiredness and I was going to just do it. And I’m glad I did, because it’s so much easier to take pictures in the morning when the sun isn’t quite blazing into the yard yet.…

    The Girl with Glasses

    I have had glasses since I was about eleven or twelve. I don’t remember the exact age, but I do remember the first night I went to our small town church’s youth group after picking up my new pair of spectacles, feeling nervous about the change, wondering if I would get dubbed the nerd or if anyone would even care. After being there for five minutes, the boy I had a crush on said he really liked my  new glasses, and it was set. I was pleased to be the girl with glasses. Of course, as I got older and we didn’t have the money to update my frames, I…

    Red Cape, Novelty Print Dress, and Life Lately

    Well, my friends, as you can safely assume from the above picture, we’re having another baby! We are extremely happy about this. Mr. Owl and I both want at least five kids, if not more, and we’ve had baby fever for a few months now. I debated sharing with you all so early this weekend; I am not due until August 28th (this makes me six weeks pregnant), but as with most women and their second child — and especially with me, who carried large and showed early with Asa — I’m already popping out. I knew I wouldn’t be able to hide the belly for long, especially not if…

    Seeing dots

    It’s funny how seeing pictures on a larger screen can totally change the way you think of them. When I took these, just peeking at the little screen of my camera, I didn’t like them at all. It’s always hard to photograph white, and I kept making the weirdest faces… and falling over because these heels are shaky. But then I got them into editing and I started to love the way they looked. The white might be a little overblown, but the whole look is so crisp and springy! And I still love my glasses, which is a big plus! Do you ever have issues with pictures initially and…

    Firmoo, part two: Stripes, bikes, and tortoishell frames

    This is the other pair of frames that Firmoo sent me. I LOVE them. They might replace my old glasses as my daily frames, because they’re just so perfect! The frames are super pretty, and I think they fit my face perfectly, and they’ve got that style reminiscent of the 50’s, which I absolutely adore. Perfection! These are the glasses I was looking for when I first updated my frames, and got talked out of getting. Of course, the place I was looking didn’t have frames nearly as amazing as these ones! In other news, my birthday is tomorrow! I’m so, so excited! I cannot wait to find out what…
