A Cream Bow Friday, April 04, 2008 10:22 PM

Yellow plastic headband: H&M. Black long sleeve tee (underneath): Segments Classic. Cream tunic with bow: In Fashion (Hong Kong). Dark cream grandpa cardigan: Joe Fresh Style. Gray skinny jeans: Bdg. Black suede moccasin booties: Aldo.

Thanks to foreshortening, my already large feet (for a petite girl) look ginormous in this photo.

I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can take pictures outside. I feel like I've exhausted all the photographable locations in my house.

PS. The lovely Bronwyn blogged about me yesterday :)

Dress: Erin Fetherston for Target. Long sweater: First Markham Place. Necklace: Moss Mills. Green patterned tights: Dragon Centre (Hong Kong). Light yellow flats with bow: Best Deal 4 U.

This outfit was inspired by this girl on Stylites in Beijing and the last girl in this post on Garance Doré.

I went shopping for clothes today but instead bought a new lens for my camera. Funny how that worked out.
