Into the Woods

dress: vintage. tights/shoes: target

Once again, I am not dressed appropriately for my surroundings. My mother's fiance just bought this huge estate. I knew it was dilapidated, but I thought pictures would still look neat. I am in love with the colorful floor in the living room. I wish it was brighter and in better condition. As far as my outfit goes, I thought the pretty vintage look would contrast nicely with the rough feeling of the place. It's true, I do like the look, but walking around was treacherous. I really needed massive hiking books to be comfortable because there were so many slopes and sticks. My cheap little target shoes were not enough, but I somehow managed to explore through the forest. A little ways away from the house is an old horse barn. I told my mom that when it gets back up and running they should buy horses. She shot the idea down, but she is considering goats. How exciting! What name would you give to a goat? I was thinking Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett, but that's just because I'm obsessed with the movie Sweeney Todd. I have more pictures of the house and property to put up, but these are the majority of my outfit photos.
Until next time, Mandy

  13. Mandy,

    I love these portraits and they remind me of Francesa Woodman's. Do you know her work? She's got a retrospective at the Guggenheim in NYC right now. I saw the show in San Francisco. Here is a link to a site with many of her self-portraits:
