Look: Brown Plaid (Part II)

Part II of the brown plaid dress.  Beautiful settings such as this one are hard to find.  This picture was taken in historic Galena, Illinois.

I've finally changed my title header.  The old one was outdated.  Although the new one that I posted may only be temporary till I find something better to replace it.  If your a graphic designer and can think of a cool idea then I'd like to work with you.  Also my Instagram page will be up soon!

Just recently I quit my job and enjoying the freedom.  I must have been somewhat crazy to quit without anything else lined up. Honestly the job wasn't for me and I knew I wasn't doing what I loved. But now I'm back and can focus more on the blog and photography.  Its such a great time to find myself again.

Last weekend I took a trip out to Galena, Illinois, a historic village close to the Mississippi River near Illinois and Iowa. The town is very antique and most of the houses and buildings were built in the 1800s. I stayed at the Galena Renaissance Suites, a hotel built in the 1850's. Each room was uniquely decorated and the gardens had a few statues of gargoyles. The beautifully decorated grounds offered many opportunities to take pictures. The above pictures were taken by the upstairs deck overlooking the gardens.

Speaking of "Renaissance" I often wear this dress to the Renaissance Faire held every year in Bristol Wisconsin.

Writing Block. : / Spent two days trying to think of something to write and came up with nothing.  I'm not sure if I have to much on my mind or nothing at all.

How about a Q&A??

What camera do you use? - Nikon D5200

How did you get into style blogging? I was inspired by the site Lookbook.nu.  So I created a blog that I can post more pictures.  It gives me a way to express my creativity .

Where did you come up with the name Purging of Pink?  I was trying to find a name for my blog but I couldn't come up with anything so I asked my friend who is great with words.  He gave me a list of crazy names such as Bum Whiskers, The Cyclops Winks, and Platypus Whisperer.  I like how Purging of Pink sounds so that's what I chose.  Shout out to JC that helped me come up with the name. 

Who takes your pictures? my mom 

What are you favorite fashion designers? - I like to bargain shop

What's your perfect pizza? I don't eat pizza I'm gluten and dairy free

What can't you life without? Fruit. I'm on a quest to try all the different edible fruits in the world.  Not much of a fan of durian though.  I love going to different countries and trying all the exotic fruits such as star apple and sweetsop from Jamaica, mangosteen from Thailand, and guava from Mexico.

The temperature outside feels like it will be halloween tomorrow.  And I'm anxiously waiting for the Harry Potter addition 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' prequel to hit theaters.  I'm so happy there has been a lot of activity coming from the HP World. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child book is also coming out in a few months. Being an all time fan, I was inspired to create a look based off the wizarding world.  

I didn't like how the belt looked with the outfit so I got a new one after taking the picture.  I could have retaken the pictures but felt that would be a hassle.  So instead I posted a picture of it below.
