Adventures in closet cleaning

Hello :) Sorry it took so long to post this, I had some important things to take care of. Anyhow, I finished cleaning my closet and thought it would be a good idea for a post.   So this is what you see from the doorway which is where I took the picture from.  On the right are dresses and skirts and on the left are shirts and sweaters which you can't see until you go inside.
  Before I show you the rest after the "read more" I just wanted to share some cute things I bought from Ginette's Etsy store ginettepomette, such as a zine of her drawings


  and I got some free stickers. Her work is really cute and unique which is what drew me to it, I definitely recommend checking out her store (it's closed at the moment but will open in 2 days).

She's a dying breed

Greetings, this post was supposed to be about my closet but I haven't finished cleaning it yet so I have an extra outfit post I thought I would publish in the meantime.  

I had some fun with the photo editor... also my hair is messy because I just threw it down and It's messy 100% of the time anyways.  
Outfit info: blouse: thrifted (vintage) skirt: thrifted (vintage) pink gradient tights: Ebay    Some outfit details... also this outfit was partly inspired by Cassie Ainsworth from Skins.

Particularly the ankle bracelet part, I couldn't find a watch that fit (if you've seen the show you might remember her watch anklet).  I don't know why I like this picture   Currently listening to: 20 Years of Snow by Regina Spektor
  Moonlight Sonata is also stuck in my head because I re-watched the movie Elephant,  I liked it the first time but it was so much better the second time.
  Oh and it's June which makes me think of this song:

I had an English teacher who would always play us musicals and this was one of them. So if anyone's into musicals or sailor dudes or 50's fashion, you might like this clip.     Have a great rest of the week,

Transparent

Hello ♫ • ♪ • ♫•  ♪ • ♫ • ♪ • ♫• ♪ • ♫ • ♪   I'm feeling musical today because I found an amazing song, I'll put it at the bottom of the post.

Outfit details: dress: thrifted
blouse: thrifted book necklace: Ohmmygolly transparent boots: Ebay

I got these great transparent boots a couple weeks ago from Ebay.
I'm always a little apprehensive when buying shoes online especially if they're not in American sizes but I'm so glad I got these and I highly recommend them to anyone who's considering transparent boots. My favorite part is that it's like you have a new pair of shoes depending on what color socks/tights you wear. They also come in different colored soles but I wanted the completely clear ones.

This little book necklace I'm wearing is one of the items I won in a giveaway from little motley. I love wearing a book. I plan to put little stickers or drawings inside the pages, kind of like a locket.

 Here are just some of the other pretty things I got... thank you Emma!
Everything I got comes from these lovely etsy stores: BeauBowTies, sew happy girls, deermoon, ohmmygolly, Whimsical Miscellany, and Urban Pleat in case anyone's interested.
In other news, I saw the best movie recently called White Oleander which I hope to write a favorite films post on. I know it's based on the novel by Janet Fitch which I might just have to read since the movie was so good. I also saw a few Todd Solondz (director of Welcome to the Dollhouse) films and they were very good as well, some were a bit disturbing but still good.


Have a great day,

Melodies and the sea

  A little while ago I found this song that I really liked and listening to it made me picture the ocean and dancing so I took a few balletic pictures along with some ocean pictures to put this post together. The ballet ones were kind of tricky to take not only because I used self-timer but my tripod doesn't go very low or to the angle I was aiming for. The ocean ones are not recent at all, sadly. They're from one of my favorite places though, a lovely beach town that's faraway from where I live. I hope you guys like the pictures anyways.     So this is the song I was talking about, please hit play before scrolling down for the full *experience*   
   I like how you can see the couple or whoever it is walking together along the sand.


I inverted the colors on this one and I quite liked it.


See how I ended it with the sun setting which is the end of the daylight and the picture above that of 1st position which is one position to end a dance or move in.. clever huh. Kidding, I'm so not clever.     So guys the ballet recital for my class is tomorrow night... I could have chosen to perform both nights but I decided to just do one. At this point the only thing I'm thinking about is making sure I don't fall.  Also sorry for not posting as often, I don't know how long it's been but it always feels longer than what it actually is.        Goodbye for now,   -Blythe

Perchance to dream

I was watching The Twilight Zone the other night hence the title of my post. I don't think I've mentioned it here before but I'm a huge Twilight Zone and Rod Serling fan, it's probably my favorite television show ever (the original not the remakes). In fact, when I first thought about starting a blog I thought about making it a blog where I just review different Twilight Zone episodes haha. This particular episode was about a man who dreamt in sequence and had very vivid dreams that haunted him. In his last dream he woke up right before he was about to die so he avoided going back to sleep for days because he thought he would surely die in real life. He told his therapist who didn't really believe him and he ended up falling asleep there in his office and he dreamt of jumping out the window of the office and died. In reality he had just died asleep on the couch.

Outfit details:
