Happy Thursday Ladies! As we move along into late June life seems to be in full swing! The pictures for this post were self portraits this time around. Fellow fashion bloggers: for those of you who use a self timer and tripod every week... kudos to you! This was one of the most difficult and tiring things to be doing on a hot, sticky Summer day- haha. Hopefully I won't have to do it again- between the gnats, spider webs in the trees, muddy dirt and running back and fourth, well let's just say it wasn't so much of a "lovely" June day- lol. Anyways, I'll stop complaining and turn the subject to a more happy note!
Today I am featuring this beautiful skirt sent to me from Jaci of Paper Darlings. Paper Darlings is an Etsy shop that sells pretty much everything vintage! It's a great place to pick up nick knacks and decor for your home and something to lovely to wear while your at it! She has several pages of different treasures, so make sure you see them all!
This skirt is so lovely. The length is super nice. I find it very difficult to discover skirts in good lengths these days, especially for us tall ladies ;-) Best part? It has pockets! Pockets always have a way of making me very happy. The material is really nice for summer and so is the pretty sky blue color! I titled this post, " Somewhere in Time" because the outfit reminds me of something Elise Mkenna would wear ( in a more modern version of course ;-) Have any of you seen that movie? One of my faves!
Be sure and check out my latest post on Beautiful in God's Eyes!

haha, self timing can be tiresome! But I feel that it is rewarding, and that I am able to get really good shots without having to explain my process to anyone! But it's also nice to have someone help. I feel that photos go a lot faster that way :) These are good!
Pretty and romantic outfit.
I love the skirt and lacey top.
You blend so beautifully with nature, Alexandra.
Every pic is pure joy.
Following you in Bloglovin too.

Lovely outfit! You look all ready for summer :)
Stunning outfit! The skirt is adorable and your lace top is to die for - gorgeous! You make taking pictures look so easy...I struggle with taking photos of me for my blog, I guess that's why I don't do it often, just when I make an article of clothing :)
Have a beautiful day!
Yes! I love the length of the skirt! It is so hard to find a cute, but modest skirt! This is both! Love the whole outfit through and through!:)

Oh my you look so cute!! Love the outfit and the pictures! Keep em coming. ;)
Lovely photos! Even though self-timers are tricky, wow...nevertheless, you seem to have completely nailed it!! The lighting is gorgeous, I can definitely take some photo pointers from you.
And the outfit is gorgeous! I've never seen Somewhere in Time, but I've been to the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island where it was filled. Pretty posh stuff. :)
So cute pics! You look like princess. You´re amazing girl! :) Love your hat! <3 And i´m really inlove with your smile! :) <3

Your comment on my last post was so sweet :) Yours is one of those blogs I check often too! Your vintage style is so inspiring to me! I absolutely love this skirt, the color and length are perfect! I've yet to try using my tripod but I'm sure it's hard work! Your photos turned out effortlessly beautiful as usual though!!

Hehe- no just laughing awkwardly at the tree :-)
Aw, thank you Coco!

Thank you Stephanie! I'm glad I made it look easy- haha- I wish it really was!
Thanks Christy <3
Thanks!
Thank you Darling!
Thanks Katherine! You are always so sweet <3
Thank you! Your photos are always gorgeous as well!
Wow- I bet that must have been amazing! If you've been to the hotel then you must see the film, you would love it!
Thank you Lovely!!

These shots are so pretty, and I LOVE this outfit! It's gorgeous. You know, you look a bit like Julia Roberts! So pretty.
Haha, yeah; it's hard to stay motivated to take self-timer pictures sometimes, but I like to be in control of my images, so I get used to it. Although without someone else to take my pictures, I'm much less likely to take pictures in cool places!
Following!
Thank you! That's funny- Julia Roberts is one that I've gotten ever since I was a little kid!
I see what you mean about the self timer- maybe it would come easier with practice ( and if my tripod didn't hang crooked!)
Love your pretty skirt!
Xo, Hannah
Thanks Hannah!
I agree with Eccentric Owl. Your face reminds me of Julia Roberts when you smile. :)
I love these pictures, the place, and the outfit.Such a classic girl in the wood.

Thank you Delvalina!
You and your camera get along really well...fantastic bokeh effect Alexandra! You have some very artfully arranged photos here, and it takes a real talent to set these up on your own. Bravo to you!
I love the ethereal quality of your outfit; the drape of the top, the soft colours, even the natural hat and basket add to the beauty.
And, I too can see a 'little lizard' on the tree bark. :)
Sue xo
Thank you Sue! Hehe- I see what you girls are talking about now- it does sort of look like a lizard doesn't it?
Lovely outfit, and I love that film!
Each of your photos is more beautiful than the last. You've got such a gift.
Wow, that skirt is just so beautiful! And I love the way you wore it--the light colors of this outfit are just so beautiful!
What a lovely skirt! You styled it perfectly and it suits your style to a T.
Ah man, and the dreaded tripod and self-timer...man, that's so hard for me too!

Wow you look lovely :) I'm making my own skirt because I am short and still most of the skirts they sell in stores are too short on me :P
What a fabulous romantic outfit, topped off by that hat!

Thank you so much Kellie!
Thanks Rebekah!
Thank you! Haha- yup that's what it is- the dreaded self-timer :-b
Thank you! Yes, I have to do the same thing sometimes. Especially because of my height. It can be so frustrating sometimes so when I find something with a good length, it's a score!
Why, thank you <3
Thank you Dear!
love the straw hat! perfect for summer!

How did I miss this post?! These photos are so lovely. That skirt is perfect on you, and the little basket is so cute! And you look beautiful, as always. To answer your question... I've taken a number of dance classes and have had to dance in shows a lot; I can pick up choreography, but I'm not a "dancer," per se. Just enough to get by. :)

Oh I see! Thanks for explaining :-)
You are such a cutie! I love that shirt and the skirt is very nice as well. I have the opposite problem, I am too short therefore I end up having to tailor most of my skirts lol
You're so sweet, thank you Irela!That would be hard too!
