Calico Days
>> Sunday, September 19, 2010
The days have been changing so much since Cole has been back in school. He's so crazy busy and gone pretty late a few nights a week, that it's taking me some time to adjust. I'm a bit resistant of change. Truthfully, I really don't like it. But all things must change and I need to get on board. Anyone else out there avoid change like the plague?
Now onto the dress...while this might not be my normal attire, I absolutely loved wearing Starr's dress. It's so hippie-love-child that I couldn't resist pairing it with my floral wreath. I also felt that my white tights and navy platforms where just the thing to finish the look.
Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!

Yours,
"Nothing endures but change." I know how you feel! At least you look amazing in calico.
I love this photoshot! Beautiful and totally dreamy..

These pictures are beautiful! You look so lovely in the dress.
As for me, I spent my weekend in Paris visiting a friend. Right now I'm waiting for my train to leave back to Germany.
Good luck adjusting to the new situation. It's always hard at first but it'll get better, I am sure!

These photos are adorable Maria! You look lovely :)
Oh Maria, these are just too precious! The outfit is perfect and you remind me a little of Louise (Pandora). Gorgeous ladies, you are! (:
As the She and Him song goes "Change is hard, I should know..." (hehe, had to get that in there). It's never easy getting used to something different than what you're used to especially if it's something you're not very fond of, but its all for good in the long run right?
I hope this change doesn't take you too long to adjust to. It's difficult when you're used to having the person you love around all the time and then suddenly they have lots of other things to do that keep them busy and away from you but for me it makes me appreciate the time we do get to spend together all the more.
Lovely outfit!

Yup, brilliant styling and that dress is so cool. :)
Well, I have times when I just detest change and stepping out of my comfort zone. Other times I absolutely crave change and just the thought of it makes me excited! Fickle girl!

lovely outift! x
p.s: I hate change also.
Oh Maria! These Photos are more than words can say. You look so fantastically. In combination with the Flofal wreath - perfection! :)
And thanks a million for that terribly nice comment on my newest Outfit-Post. You're amazing! xx, Alice from bells and whistles.
Your dress is so nice, and it looks just perfect with the floral headband and white tights!!

I totally understand the aversion to change. I like getting in a schedule and sticking with it.. it can be really hard to adjust to something new.
My weekend was lovely- the perfect New England weather! I started a blog which feels weird because i've never blogged before. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

As a bit (okay, a lot) of a hippie child, I love this dress and the whole look with a passion! The floral wreath is perfect, and those shoes are awesome! :)
That dress is precious! It's fun to see how you dressed up something a bit different from what you usually wear. The addition of the floral wreath is PERFECTION.
I like seeing this look on you! It definitely suits you, just as much as the dandy preppy look does. It's nice to have some variety, right?
Grad school is just plain hard. I don't know if it's all about change. Last semester was so discouraging because every time Patrick and I would "hang out," it would really just be me doing homework in his presence. Frankly, it sucks!
Luckily, it won't last forever! Change to the school routine is difficult! Keep your chin up. :)

I certainly have a tendency to avoid change. It is not always welcome. Occasionally I have freak out days though when I feel completely stuck and book flights and make plans and rearrange things. Those have been happening more often recently.
I'm liking the hippy Maria! This definitely has a very retro vibe to it. You found such a perfectly flattened field for these pictures too.
If you were actually in the 60's/70's what concert would you be going to in this ensemble??

i love the white tights, i really need to get a pair!
so pretty as always. Nice dress too.
That dress is super pretty and even though its not your usual style your rocking it! x
well you look absolutely great in it.
Oh my gosh you look so pretty here! Well you do in every post but here especially! The lighting is absolutely beautiful!
I hate change! I'm like a child in that way he he ;) xxx
this outfit looks so natural and beautiful! not forced, which makes it even more appealing.
Wow, Maria, you look absolutely gorgeous. This is my favorite of your outfits - you're a vision.
Thanks for the inspiration!
This is a good look for you. The dress is great, and you styled it perfectly.
Gorgeous! I love how you styled up the dress. I am sad to say that I could not find any white tights this Winter.
Your blog posts are always an inspiration. Thanks!

Love how you styled this dress!! so adorable with the floral wreath! oh and I think you posted my outfit photo on the D.D. facebook so thank you!! I don't have FB so I think I should get on it soon...haha ^.^
I love this outfit, Maria. It is very hippy-ish, isn't it? Very pretty.
As for not liking change, I think most people are that way to some extent. But if everything stayed the same life would be rather boring, I think. My grandfather always used to say that nothing stays the same--good or bad. Things are always changing. Sometimes, we like it and sometimes we hate it. When I'm not liking the change I pray--a lot. God always gives me a better attitude eventually.
Take care and have a great week!

Oh my! Maria, i love love love your outfits here. You look like a dreamy fairy :)
you look beautiful! I can't wait to style this dress, it's perfect for fall!
A big fan of white tights myself, especially contrasted with darker, vibrant colors! You look lovely.
