"camera obscura"

i just absolutely adore everything about this image. this amazing human being is from pretoria, south africa, what some would call my 'mother country'. south africa is indeed a beautiful place despite what one might hear about it being 'dangerous'. i have been there twice and various members of my family numerous times and we have all returned completely and utterly unscathed, and the people and food and scenery and everything there is just beautiful. anyway, i just love the subtle contrasts between textures in this ensemble and the way the similar earthy tones pull it all together, the sequinned vest giving the outfit that something special without going OTT. i also like that this look is quite achieveable. kudos to this girl.
