The bf and I ended up needing to take a trip to a scrap yard yesterday to look for car parts. It’s actually a pretty interesting place, but I was most amazed by how nature always seems to find a way, no matter the surroundings. Delicate yellow flowers bursting through crumbling asphalt and climbing up the sides of abandoned trucks created a natural contrast of beauty and ruggedness. I realized later that my outfit happened to coincide with that theme with the toughness of these fringed booties and the pretty purple, pink and jewel embellishments of this shift. Although next time I’ve got to visit a junkyard, I think maybe I’ll be leaving the heels at home.

Contrasts are beautiful: I think that’s why we love them so much in fashion. That dress is amazing – a real work of art.

when i was young my dad used to build harley’s on the weekends and used to make us stop at junkyards all the time during family outings. one time i made my mom snap pics of me in a really old car in an outfit completely inappropriate for an 11 year old. i could have been a blogger back then.

I bet the scrap yard doesn’t see many ladies as well dressed as you were!
