Wanting to explore Northern Michigan, Matty and I embarked on a five day camping adventure in search of lakes, swimming holes, and hiking trails. This set of photographs is from the first stop on our trip- a little camping ground nestled just outside of the Pigeon River Country State Park. The forest was filled with birch trees, maples, and jack pole pines. For me, summertime in California is synonymous with camping trips in Yosemite and the Sierras. It was quite fun to explore a different landscape with unique vegetation and wildlife.
When I first discovered this dress in a local Ann Arbor thrift store, I was immediately drawn to its earth tones and cut. Growing up in the Bay Area, I was introduced to dyed fabrics by vendors on Telegraph Avenue. While I find most tie-dye to be a bit kitschy, the muted pattern of this dress was perfect for forest treks and late summer ensembles.
I'll be posting many more pictures from our camping adventures over the next week!

Have a blast on your camping excursion! You look like a dream...I just simply love that earthy color palette and don't think I could ever manage to look half as elegant on a camping trip...hehe. Such pretty photos as well:)
Pretty. I love being out in nature.
This place looks gorgeous. Similar to my own terrain, so I'm used to it, and I like it. I've never been to northern California but I REALLY want to go someday, and someday soon at that.
I like your fun little dress. It's so unique and, do I daresay, a bit crazy? In the good way, of course.
I LOVE THIS DRESS!

The tones of the dress make me think of an antique map. It's really cool and unique!

I love that you've mixed some nature photos in with your fashion photos! Such a pretty little location x
You are so the most stylish camper ever. I agree about the tie die. A lot of it is a bit much but this is just right. Really like the hat too.
Oooh I love that dress, such a great print! :D

what an awesome print. that dress is very eye catching.
you are one fancy camper!
i remember the first time i "camped" (i was in a cabin, so i don't consider that real camping) in the sierras and how amazed i was by the landscape. snow topped mountains in the middle of july?! this east coast girl had never seen such a sight before.
I. Am. In love with this outfit. I think the print on that dress is just too too cool. Goodness, haven't gone camping in a long time. Glad you're having a fantastic time!

That dress is a really cool thrift find. I love how it looks among the forest background. Such pretty photographs.
Your camping adventure sounds wonderful; the forest outside of the Pigeon River Country State Park looks a lot like the woods we have here in Pennsylvania. (Birch trees are my favorite!)
I love the beautiful warm tones on your dress, and your necklace and bag are great! (As is that last photo of the spider web. I love finding beautiful little details like that while I'm out exploring.)
Such a cool dress... I can't wait to see what else you've dug up over the Summer! Miss youuu! xo
