What I Wore: 9.13.10 // Moth

When I was staying with Bianca in New York two weeks ago, she took these photos of me late one night in her apartment building. Isn’t it gorgeous?! They are 100 years old and were recently redone — a moth motif runs throughout, all over the furniture and wallpaper.

I found this dress a few months back on Etsy. It features a nude-colored fabric insert on the top half with lace overlay. It was much longer but since the neckline is so high, I had it altered to a mini length. It’s nice to switch things up occasionally and to not always run straight for the little black dress!

I have a habit of balancing out super girly silhouettes with tough shoes. I guess I never want to look like I’m off to a dinner party or too done up.

Everything in this building feels so grand! A bunch of students were in the basement studying and started scurrying out of the way when our impromptu photo shoot came through. Oops!

I love working with Bianca. She’ll take photos at a moment’s notice, even if it’s 10 pm and we’ve just eaten dinner. What a trooper!

   Ooooh…the oversized doorway in the 7th shot is very Nubby-In-Wonderland-y. That apartment building looks like a boarding house for sultry magicians and their ladies-in-waiting.

   Love the vintage feel to the photographs and the dress is beautiful. The toughness of the boots and the black belt balance its sweetness.

    wow, that is an astonishing print. I lvoe the fact that it looks modern and amazing at the same time as coming across as quite serious and traditional. A gorgeous juxtaposition!

    I usually am afraid of moths, but this wallpaper is to die for! I would love it in my own home!

    Great outfit! It’s nice to try different things sometimes. Aesthetically I love the decor, but moths actually really creep me out, so I’d probably have a hard time sitting on that furniture.

    So, I go to this website because I consider it accurate.In the past there have been – and maybe there still are – many things that you have had to do without. You have now decided to set your sights on a position or situation that could give you greater prestige and which will afford you considerable self esteem.You don’t like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination.
