OK OK I know, but I take no responsibility for the name of this post - it was all Dale. Get it though? My name is Robyn - we're in a graveyard. I assure you there was no robbin' taking place though. Hah. Is it weird that I took these photos in a graveyard? Like disrespectful weird? I don't think it is. I don't know - I have always loved graveyards. They fascinate and freak me out at the same time. I consider myself to be somewhat of a 'realist' or rather I just have a vested in the truth and yet somehow graveyards still make me feel superstitious. Also, they remind me of that scene in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie when the original Buffy (Kristy Swanson not SMG) is with Merrick in the graveyard waiting for the vampires and she's all like "d'you have any gum?".

For this post I mainly chose photos with a sombre vibe but then it just felt too depressing - hence the last two photos. Wearing almost all black was totally unintentional, I had been wanting to take photos here again for awhile and it just so happens that today I wore my favourite little black sweater dress.

One thing I love about winter is the way in which it enables me to kind of wear two outfits at once! First I have my outerwear look with the coat and hat and jacket and gloves and then I take it off to reveal the dress and it's a different look altogether!

Anyway lovelies - I must be off, I have a ridiculously busy day ahead and I have to spend like 5 hours at the gym to catch up for the past two weeks. Ungh - haha! I'm ready to get my life back on track - this break has made me too lazy.

Happy hump day!

  1. I love these pictures! I don't think it's odd to be in a graveyard. Actually I took my sisters Senior pictures in a graveyard, which came out great until someone we knew mentioned that they were related to a person in one of the headstones behind her...opps :)

    I love this whole look!

  2. The pictures are great - the black outfit underneath goes well with the gravesite theme, haha. I like how you paired the black socks with black boots, I will have to try that!

    I really like graveyards, as weird as that sounds. In high school my friend and I used to go for long walks through this big graveyard, and it was very peaceful..

    My brother and bf told me once when I wanted to take pics at a graveyard that it was disrespectful to take pics at those kind of places, but I don't think it is. I like you, think its cool; but weird at the same time hahah.
    I like your outfit a lot too! I love your black dress with those boots. Reallly cute =)

  11. Haha, oh Dale :D I've always had an affection for how creepy graveyards felt, and used to "picture date" with my friend Lisa at an old Poor Farm cemetery where they had these tiny, weathered markers with just numbers on them. Wrote a story about it when I was in a creative writing class in college. I don't really think it's too disrespectful to be taking pictures at the location... unless there's an actual funeral going on in the background, or if you're dangling off the tombstones. Haha

    I really love the playful pictures you took there-- takes the grim out of the setting, and your sweater dress is too cute to boot!
