backyard behavior

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

(American Apparel sweetheart two tone minidress)

Sometimes it feels good to lie around your backyard in a neon pink minidress (which btw I recommend to all who want to release their inner ice skater). To be honest, the randomness of what I wear around our place and the surrounding 100 foot radius is alarming. The UPS guy finds this pretty entertaining. Last time he came around he asked me, "So how big exactly is your shoe closet?"

Hmm..more like one trunk, two racks, multiple hanging organizers, a brimming car trunk, and still a surplus that invades the floor beneath the kitchen counter. But this was too intense to explain.

Try trying to squeeze half that many shoes in a college dorm room. Oh my god. What bomb exploded?
It's cute how the UPS guy recognizes you lol.

i love pink! saw your pink bike on twitter.. i was eyeing that SAME exact one ages ago, how ironic! pink is my favorite color ahah

R said...

I was just looking at this dress like two days ago, I really love it in the mint color too. Wish it was warm enough to wear something like that. I swear it feels more like November hear lately.
Sounds like Colin has some competition from the UPS guy.
jk hehe ;)

PUNKIE said...

Mollie said...

A week ago I ran to the UPS man in leopard tights and he said "nice nylons" and today I was wearing wet look leggings and he told me I was very unique. Well, at least we add some amusement to thier package delivering.

greenlady said...

ummmmmmm
Colin's photography....unreal.
You need to enroll him in some kind of school, or competition, or something. His inner photog needs to shine. I feel it is his calling.

MODA CADISI said...

It's good to see smtng summery, it seems you're wearing a lot of winter clothes lately, I'm surprised by that because you always wear lighter clothes during winter,it makes me think like you moved in a colder land :)))

meso said...

loved the story. can't see the dress so i guess the others are telling you look great in it b/c they have great imaginations....the color looks great against you but i have yet to see one that doesn't. m

Excuse me, but I thought it is the blog about fashion. Maybe you will show us the dress, instead of hair, the plaid and grass?

I love that dress, the pink really suits you.

Hayley.

Lauren said...

Rumi, I love your blog but I also dislike the photos that are more artistic instead of showing what you're wearing. Of course you can include them both! But can we get full-length shot?

Mya said...

Your back is so sexy. <3

DiANAB. said...

i love this shot! your man is getting really great behind the lens.

Delmy said...

I was thinking of purchasing that dress. You should show the front of it as well

diane. said...

Have seen that AA dress and not sure if its to ice-skater-y? Might get it but tough it up with leather and clumpy boots?

caylee said...

i love that you choose the pink one instead of the black on! unexpected in a good way.

Genevieve said...

How peaceful.
I need to do this. xx

Annie said...

that's an amazing photo. just looking at it makes me feel all lazy and relaxed!

DB said...

love the dress! x

Luxe. said...

I nearly bought that dress the other day! I might have to go back and get it now, amazing as always.x

Rumi said...

yeah pink! the dress is painfully bright. okay this closet tour matter is becoming more and more frequently requested...it's just hard cause my stuff's divided up between two extremely unorganized (read: aestheically unpleasant) closets and a bunch of random crap flung around the studio. i'm sure i'll get around to it eventually though :)

R ooh yes mint is very good too. haha i don't think colin has anything to worry about.

greenlady, AGREE...he is amazing.

moda cadisi ahhaha really?? it's kind of off and on here i guess!

anon322 ooh yes i get this a lot..i like it this way for now :)

helen i would too, it's freaking perfect.

away with the fairies - it's pretty much the antithesis of a practical item but that's kind of why i love it!

anna try using a different image host than blogger!

fashionchalet yeahh they always have the best legs!

haha meso, was feeling more abstract...thanks though :)

diane yes i love nude mesh! must find other ways to wear it.

anon hehhe could be good for layering..thanks for the link

gabrielle i TRIED to find 'em, there's no such thing as legit leather shorts...weird..and what color did you get?

lauren sure thing!!

teeemcee, hahahha was wearing my black docs with it..

brittanyalexis said...

definitely time for me to release my inner ice skater. that color as well as the aa dress is perfect!

Shen-Shen said...

I saw that dress on the website a couple days ago, it's adorable!

I wish I had a shoe collection that impressive.

Before I even scrolled down to read your copy, I was like, "Very figure skaterish," and then I scrolled down and went, "Oh."

Interesting.

I think it is amazing how you losers hang on her every word and picture. She could post a shot of her brushing her teeth and you would all rant and rave about how amazing the toothpaste looks dripping from her mouth into the sink or how the bits of food stuck in her teeth remind you of the colors in a latest Gucci confection. p u k e i n my m o u t h

Felicia said...

Love this Rumi! I just went to AA the other day actually w/ a friend and tried this dress on in the pink and the black! I loved them both but ended up getting the black...she got the pink one like you but at least we can share. :)
