Creepy things happen...

H&M skirt, T and shoes, We cardigan
Once upon a time my friend Karen and I went out to test our beloved cameras. She was curious about my new lense, and I let her test it in exchange for outfit photos. Cause that's what friends do. We went to the back of a parkinglot, near the railroad tracks. I have been wanting to take pictures here for a long time. Turns out, everything your parents tell you about areas around railroad tracks is true. In the middle of our session this silver car turned up on the parking lot. No biggie, people were driving on and off the whole time but this car drove aaaaall the way to the back end, where we were. It approached at rapid speed (hello, speed limit of 10!?), the dude in it started clapping his hands, made a U-turn and drove back off. He didn't even park his car. What the?? Weird!! Guess I won't be coming back to this spot, haha. The pictures turned out great though, so thank you Karen for taking these and saving my blogging ass! I owe you. Big time, I suppose.

This weekend was jampacked with fun. Work on Saturday, 2 essays to finish and some school books to read on Sunday. Are you feeling the sarcasm? haha. On saturday night though, we went on a spontaneous trip to the movies and saw The Avengers. It was awesome! I loved it. Have you guys seen it? I feel a need to (re-)watch all the superhero movies now! Movie marathon, anyone?

  2. Ugh, I hate it when that kind of stuff happens. Street Harassment is just not okay.

    But you did look super cute and I can see why you would want to have such a pretty stone road as your backdrop.

    I saw the avengers as well, it was so much fun!

  26. Love the stripes and floral together! I hate when weirdos approach while taking outfit photos, and it's even more awkward when you're alone with a tripod :D

    I'm excited to see The Avengers!

    ReplyDelete
  27. That sounds so scary! What in the world?!? People can be so odd...

    And yes, to the movie marathon! I think I need one of those pretty badly right about now :)

    Hope the end of your school year goes great, and your summer goes even better!

  28. I like the yellow cardi! I have been on the fence about buying a short sleeve cardi, but this looks nice on you. Arun is my photographer, and he has huge biceps, so I don't have to worry about creepy cars. Keep safe!

  29. Love the way you mixed patterns! xo

  30. My god, that must have been scary! I'm sure you're glad he didn't end up parking and getting out!
