My inspiration for todays outfit is my new favorite shop Great English Outdoors, discovered via Frolic!. Ever since watching Miss Marple I've had daydreams of the English countryside. If anyone ever invited me to their rustic yet elegant English estate I would know exactly what to wear :) These boots would be in my suitcase, so perfect and sitting in my basement the entire time I was searching for a pair just like them. I thought they would be too big, and was going to sell them in my shop. Sorry guys ;)
A couple of weeks ago I picked up this Pendleton scarf (Wrap? Tartan?) at work and have fallen in love with its versatility. It's small enough to wrap around my neck, and big enough to belt like a dress! I'm sure you'll see it often ;) I just love Pendleton, vintage especially. When I was in school I got to take a trip to the wool mills and saw how the wool gets dyed and woven, and thought the old, small factories with aged bricks and wool fluff everywhere would make a terrific setting for a photoshoot.

i've grown pretty crazy about tartan, too, lately -- especially in red.
love your hair!
You look terribly chic for an English countryside! I'd love to go to one in the future! Actually I love pretty much everything English :)
I love Miss Marple and the English countryside so I shall have to check out that link! xx
Thanks Katrina! One of the few times just rolling out of bed works for it ;)
Adorable outfit, love the tartan. Your dress is so cute and I love the seamed tights.
Miss Marple is the greatest. All things English are fabulous in my opinion though.
Great outfit, fantastic composition (photos & blog post) and well written.
I have been following your blog for some time. In my view you have extraordinary and unusual talent across a number of areas - world class in fact.
And yes, you got the English part right. Being an Englishman, I know.
All the best and keep up the great work.

great outfit! i really like how you added that little something to the black dress by wearign that scarf
Love the scarf wrapped around your face, it looks awesome.
Consider this a suspended invitation to stay in my country mansion; just as soon as I get my hands on one I'll let you know.
Rambling about stylishly amongst the woods, hedges and village shops looking for murder is one of my favourite passtimes.. You'd fit right in. :]
This is gorgeous! I think one of my favorites over all...
This is a darling outfit, I can't decide which piece I like the best. And, please don't get offended cos I mean this in a good way, it looks so modern for a Solanah outfit! Tres chic.
I so want a country estate so I can invite you! :D
I love the plaid wrap! The close up shot of you looks very much like Cyd Charisse in Brigadoon!
