Fashion in the Wilderness

When you're living out of a backpack for longer than a month, you start to come up with some pretty crazy combinations for the 6 clothing items you brought with you. All of a sudden, Halloween socks were socially acceptable in the middle of May and it was more than natural to pair them with a thrift store Phoenix sweater and Adidas shorts. I wanted to share some of the photos from my time in British Columbia with you all, not only for the beautiful natural scenery but also for my hilarious getups! I swear that for the rest of my days, I won't be able to wear my Black Flag shirt without remembering backpacking in Valhalla Provincial Park.


I was known for wearing tie-dye...all the time. I was always wearing either my tie-dye shirt or my tie-dye leggings, and everyone kept urging me to wear them together!! The tie-dye suit never materialized (I do have some shreds of dignity still clinging to my ego) but I will henceforth refer to all tie-dye outfits as a "camping tuxedo." Like a Canadian tuxedo but weirder.
