An Earth Day Adventure

Happy Earth Day!  First off, I have to admit I took these picture yesterday, so the adventure didn't actually take place on Earth Day itself, but close enough!  After work I set out to find a place in the area that would reflect the true natural beauty of where I live.  I found this road literally five minutes away from where I work, and the sky was absolutely amazing- bright blue with the perfect Colorado cotton candy clouds.  I really do not think I could ask to live in a place with more natural beauty so close at hand!
 
  
Outfit Details
Scarf: Vintage/ RECYCLED!!
Wedges: Mia Pampa Desert Wedge Booties, DSW

     I hope you guys aren't getting sick of my floral dresses and nature pictures yet (ahem, last post) because there is a lot more where that came from!  So, I don't want to get too preachy on ye' olde blog, but I really hope everyone does take a moment to think about our planet today and things you can do in your life to live more sustainably!  One of the main reasons for me starting The Braided Bandit blog and vintage shop, besides my love for fashion and photography, was the fact that my background is in environmental policy.  I thought what better way to combine sustainability with creativity than a shop that revolves around recycling and giving new life to clothing.  So all I am asking is for you to think before you buy, and to take a minute today to appreciate the natural beauty in your daily lives!

p.p.s Don't mind the last photo, I am just dancing by myself in the middle of the road in front of a tripod with  a self timer. Oh, life.

  8. Hi! Thank you very much for the kind word, I am very happy you like the pictures :)
    You are taking beautiful photos, the skies in the second one are great! One cannot actually see that you are using a self timer. And it's cool that you are showing flowery dresses, one can never have enough flowers! :)

    Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. New visitors always make me smile and thanks to your visit I discovered your pretty blog! Love the header of course ;) and your pictures are amazing.
    Love the light in the fifth one of this post. The blue sky, the cotton clouds and that light! Aah! That place is magical.
    The floral dress is really cute. Are you shipping to Europe? (Just in case...)
