Hey look, my knees are purple!
In our Philosophy class we talked about the public space and how we don’t use it anymore. It has become a danger zone where we humans don’t like to be in, we try to cross it as invisible as possible. Our teacher encouraged us to do something unexpected, to stand out, to use the public space in a unique way. I put his words into action and went out on this warm spring evening to take my photos in a busy spot. Awkward stares galore! In a few months we have a philosophy assignment and some of my classmates chose to do an invisible theathre. A thing where you try to evoke reactions from an ignorant public. The Candid Camera way. This might make for a fun experiment!

Wow, that sounds really cool. I love human studies like that. Kuddos for taking pic in a busy place…it's hard to do in front of other who have no idea what you're posing (or trying to look like you're not posing) for. 🙂

I love your outfit and I especially love your shoes. Now a days it is always hard to find someone who stands out in a crowd who tries so hard to just fit in and do what everyone else does. Would love to hear about how your philosophy assignment goes.
I like the striped top with the skirt! Very nice!

Aw yay! What a great experiment and you did extremely well. Kudos to you! I love your mustard tulip skirt and those adorable stripes! Great post!
Dit is denk ik mijn favoriete post van jou. Heel mooie foto's en je outfit is helemaal mijn ding.
Klopt ook helemaal wat je zegt over de publieke ruimte, het is gewoon super eng en not done om iets te doen behalve snel wandelen van de ene plaats naar de andere plaats.

That sounds really interesting! I've got a lot better at taking my photos in public (like my last post, there was a family running in circles around the statue in the middle, right past me) and it didnt bother me. I got stares from the people that walked past the garden, but I didnt care. Shane on the other hand does haha! He always stops and I'm like just carry on!! hahah!
Love the skirt and top though! I almost wore a striped top the other day with my yellow skirt, but decided to go for florals instead haha! Seems like everyone is wearing mustard lately! Must be the sunshine and heat! 😀
Zo waar wat je prof zegt! Ik betrap er mezelf soms ook op… Maar: gisteren heb ik public space ook eens op een unique way gebruikt: ik ben outfitfoto's gaan nemen! En al bij al viel dat nog mee, zo'n danger zone is het nu ook weer niet 😉
En wauw, zo mooi slank dat je bent 🙂 Ik zou ook wel wat slankere benen willen hebben!
aan het eilandje genomen? ik hou vooral van je mustard! en ooh benieuwd naar jullie invisible thea 😉
Daniel maakt ons leven zoveel mooier, hihi xx
I LOVE your necklace!! The outfit is great and what a great experiment!
Wow – good for you! I'm always way too nervous to take pics in busy places…but these turned out great! Loving the stripes and mustard – so cute 🙂

Very interesting thought… We all try and blend in a little too much and feel uncomfortable standing out. Love that you went and took pictures in a busy spot 🙂
You look super cute! Love the yellow skirt!
Your necklace is so beautiful! It goes perfectly with that skirt!
I love this yellow skirt, its the perfect addition for spring! Love that the post was inspired by your class, such a great idea!

Cute skirt, I love mustard and stripes together 🙂 That necklace is so pretty!
You're so brave to take photos at a busy spot, was it with your tripod or did you have a photographer?
Enjoy your weekend, Nikki!
Cute look, love the colour of your skirt! ♥
Super schattig rokje en erg mooie foto's! 🙂
navy stripes and mustard are classic. they will always work. there is something so nautical about it…perfect, since you're at the harbor!
Sounds like a great experiment! I love the mustard color on you.

I hate taking photos in public, but that may be because I use the self-timer… It's such a lovely location – worth the stares!
Such a great color combo! xo

Nikkiii!!! It's so weird that right after your comment about your mom contributing to your DSLR, I found out that my parents are getting one for me!!!! I'm so exciting, I'm flipping out! Waaaaahooo!!
Anyway, sorry that was such a spastic comment, but I felt like it was necessary.
That is so brave of you! Some days I'm too anxious to go to a super busy place and not do something to stand out. I think its awesome you did that!
And this outfit is great by the way!
Your necklace is gorgeous! Love the yellow as well.
