I Went to the Woods

Yesterday Hubby and I dropped Sprog off for camp and then packed up our stuff and headed up to Mount Hood with Giant Dog for a few days. We're renting a very cute little cabin in the woods.  It's surrounded by big trees and there is a creek in the back. It's a lovely setting for a quiet getaway with Hubby.

So much for Giant Dog to explore!

My delightful companions..

We're keeping it simple and relaxed.  Food is mostly nibbles through the day rather than prepared meals. There is time to knit , read, talk, and ...  I'm hoping for an easy hike later today and a chance to poke around the creek.  I've kept the wardrobe simple too. I channeled my inner wood nymph and picked woodsy colors and flowing silhouettes. 

I found this great skirt last week at the thrift store. It has ties underneath to pull the hem up into lovely bustle like swags but there are a couple that need repair so for now I'm wearing it full length and flowing. I rather like the dark green paired with the orchid color. 

And, entirely by coincidence, orchid is Spy Girl's theme for this week's 52-Pick-Me-Up! This outfit reminds me of pink lady's slippers.  They're fairly common on the East Coast and definitely one of the highlights of a walk in the woods. 

I'm also linking to Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style. With its muted tones, this outfit might not fit the literal definition of visible but I think it does fit the spirit of visible dressing. It's an outfit that I thoughtfully and intentionally picked to create a look that suits my surroundings and my mood. It makes me feel very ME!
