Ambivalence

I wore this dress for our family Thanksgiving lunch. It's one of those purchases in which I felt like the dress was great the first time I tried it on, but now, not so sure. I'm hoping it'll grow on me.
Danier jacket, Phillip Lim for Target dress, Topshop shoes

Roasted butternut squash soup I made for the lunch




Have you ever had a purchase whereby you're not too sure if you like it or not?

Emmy, that print looks beautiful on you doll. It blends in so well with your complexion and hair. Yeah, I've second guessed things. HaHaHa If it doesn't grow on my fast I get rid of it. Girl, you can cook! That butternut squash soup looks awesome.

A purchase? Lots of them! It's like they're amazing in the shop and then when I get home there's no sparkle anymore.. I'm now trying to buy only things that I'm 100(0)% sure I like and want. I do like your dress though, especially the upper part. Amazing "gang" you have there! ;)

Oh that is the perfect soup for Thanksgiving. I tried on that exact dress too, and I thought it was way too big on me so I left it. I think if you get it taken in so it's more form fitting, then you'll totally love it.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
