Where the story ends

Are you shocked to find out that my skirt is actually a dress, as well as my shirt? Yep! I'm wearing two dresses. Haha. I was so flustered while taking these pictures that I forgot to get close ups! Duh, Kenzie. Geez. I'm sorry guys!

The reason I was so flustered taking these is because I thought I'd get in trouble. There wasn't any "No trespassing" signs, but the buildings were boarded up and really creepy. I just felt weird being there! The history behind them is so cool, though. On this particular building there was a sign that dated back to 1922. You can read that here. Apparently, these buildings were all part of Stonewall Jackson Training School - a place where male offenders under the age of eighteen were sent to in lieu of prison time. Click the link to read more! It's pretty interesting.

Also, I don't have a lot of pictures because my Photoshop shutdown and won't open back up. O_o. Yeah. I'm off to fix that, now!

  6. I LOVE old buildings. I really wish we had more like this here but its all grain sheds or igloos?! Annoying. I love the colours of your outfit and hopefully your PS starts working again! I'd be lost without mine!

  23. Love that top, I mean shirt. Looks great with the skirt and heels. Somehow I never think to do things like that, like make a dress work as a top or tunic.
