I'm Dotty Deary: A Vintage Refashion

Lately I seem to be gravitating more and more towards vintage clothing and vintage style. I've always loved hats and old jewelry, but now I constantly find myself looking at vintage styles with more and more appreciation. 

I'm always told I'm from the wrong decade- But I love vintage clothing and styles and it a part of who I am. I've decided that in the future I want to experiment more with the vintage clothing that I do have.

Also, don't you just love this dress? Once upon a time it was a hideous vest dress, but with a little help from a pair of scissors and a sewing machine I just love how it turned out.

More senior pictures!  These were taken at a new location- a gorgeous old church. The architecture was absolutely stunning because there was so much attention to detail. I  love how the colors ended up looking as well.

Let me know which location and which photos you prefer!

More Senior Pictures! 

I am so thankful for the wonderful opportunity that I had to go out with my Mother and do these. We are very close and it was a wonderful opportunity for her to pull her camera out. My favorite part about doing these photos with my Momma was our many inside stories. Every once in a while she would pause taking photos for a moment, and say something that only I would understand. I then would start laughing, and that is where some of my best photos come from. She made me comfortable, and she allowed me to choose what I wanted to wear and how I wanted everything styled. 

Even as I was editing these photos I would occasionally remember something that she said, or the hilarious positions that she had to get into to get a shot. (Although I must admit being terrified that a mouse is going to run on one of us wasn't very funny...)

I was so happy that I was able to take photos in this location. The lake and mountain view was stunning, and I loved this bus! It was sad though, because last time we were here it was in much better shape. Since then lots of things have been broken and ripped apart. There was broken glass everywhere. I think I loved this bus, however, because I adore things that have stories, and abandoned places always leave me questioning What was the story?? 

If you too are an enthusiast of abandoned places this link has some of the most amazing photographs that I have ever seen. I saw it the other day and became obsessed! I especially love the photo of the bedroom with all of the clothing. The house is beautiful, and the letters, photographs, clothing, and other personal possessions leave me questioning who were these people?

Hopefully you love these photographs as much as I do, and enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
