Yesterday I decided to go to a park in the town where Dan and I used to live. Its lovely and I've been thinking about taking outfit photos there for a while. The big highlight is an old bridge (with a very scenic New England view) that leads to nature trails. It was a beautiful day and my husband was out of town with his brother, so I decided to drive over and go for it.
The temperatures dipped into the 60's yesterday so it felt like the right time to break out my new 'wild horses' dress. I have a few vintage polyester dresses in this style and really like the way that they fit and when I found this one with the huge horse print, I couldn't help but buy it a few months back. I grew up on a horse farm, and although I'm not a huge fan of equestrian themed clothes, this one just called out to me from the rack.
When I had finished taking the photos and was packing up my things, I noticed a butterfly flying around me. I think it was actually following me as I walked so I pulled out my camera to take a few snaps of it. This might be the first time one has let me get so close. I ended up taking about ten photos, but chose three of my favorites to share here. It was a sweet end to a lovely afternoon in the park. I hope everyone else had a nice holiday weekend!

ReplyDeleteWow thanks for taking a drive to the park and for all these photo's. Hey that butterfly is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is fabulous, The light on you looks gorgeous (check out your legs honey). I love the gate and the house beyond, the trees frame the shot just great.
When I saw the jumping one I said 'yah Kelly Anne, way to go'!
Those shoes are PERFECT for that outfit, nothing would suit it better. I just loved the outfit too of course.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kelley! I love your dress and the brown belt and your hair style. Been wanting to braid my hair for sometime now but it never seems to turn out right. Will try again tomorrow now that you've inspired me. Also, butterfly is very pretty. Been seeing tons this summer... but they're so hard to photograph, great job.♥
