Humidity and my hair should not mix. Do you see that little indentation on the left side (my right) of my head that looks like someone used the liquify tool in Photoshop to make my hair line look absolutely ridiculous? That's where my hair decided to do a nice little curly-que. Odd curly-ques and frizz seem to be the norm lately. And beads of sweat and sunburn seem to be making a common appearance, too. Supposedly, the heat index was 125°F here today. That is crazy, y'all. I live in Minnesota, remember?
My boyfriend took these pictures. Thanks. I sincerely feel for anyone who is currently dating a style blogger. It's got to be the most annoying thing in the world.
Me, 2 p.m.: Will you take pictures for me today?
Boyfriend: Maybe.
Me, 3 p.m.: You still have to take pictures of me.
Me, 4:30 p.m.: Okay, let's eat, play a game, and then we can go take pictures.
Me, 5:30 p.m.: We have to take pictures soon.
Me, 5:45 p.m.: Pictures. Now.
Me, 6 p.m.: Okay, I'm ready! Do them lengthwise first.
Me, 6:01 p.m.: Make sure you get my feet.
Me, 6:05 p.m.: Okay okay, now do some close-ups. No, hold the camera the other way.
Me, 6:07 p.m.: Alright, good, now get some where my face isn't in it, just my body.
Boyfriend: ...Why?
Me: I need the lovely detail of my skirt!
Boyfriend: ...
Me, 6:09 p.m.: OH MY GOD. My necklace has been harnessing my boob the whole time!!!! We'll have to take some more where my necklace is actually centered.
Boyfriend: ...
Me, 6:15 p.m.: Oh, and make sure you get my collar!
I think he secretly hates me.
Top & skirt: Urban Outfitters
Sandals: Can't remember and am too lazy to get up and check
haha Sometimes I feel bad for the boyfriends and husbands you are enlisted to take outfit pics, but its good them too! Cute dress btw :)

My boyfriend just read that with me and appreciates your empathy! You look great, he did good!
ReplyDeleteAmy x
haha, so sweet of ur bf to take pictures of u despite the hassles!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous dress, I love the colour! Haha I have the same kind of photo experiences, but with friends. "Oh, make sure you get the details *here*!" I do feel bad for them sometimes!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Sabrina
We forgive your hair because you make us laugh. And it's so interesting to see you in a halter-top. Having wrestled with one lately, I'm painfully aware how tough they are to wear well.
ReplyDeleteOMG your convo with your bf had me laughing out loud!
ReplyDeleteit's just like that with my bf hahaha!
and i totally agree with what you said about UO. i do run for the sale racks :)
btw, you're GORGEOUS!
follow each other?
-April
Haha, I totally know what you mean about the poor significant others who are dragged into blogging :D
ReplyDeleteI love the style of that dress - especially the top of the back!
Lmao. I love that convo with your bf. He is awesome I tell you. I think my husband would throw the camera at me and leave. And the necklace harnessing your boob, is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love the closeup of the neck from the back. That color really suits you, you look gorgeous!
Anywho, I want your leg muscles, tell me I can have some. Thank you very much.
P.S. I love how you time stamped the convo lines haha.
I think your hair looks quite nice! The curly-q wasn't even noticeable until you pointed it out!
ReplyDeleteI recently moved to Annapolis. Thought the sea might make it cooler here, but we're right up there with you. Heat index of 115 today!
this is hilarious! i feel the exact same way! i always feel like my bf is so annoyed when he takes my pics. He always rushes them and he NEVER tells me when something is out of place!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I see what you mean about your photographer troubles. And it is SO ANNOYING when someone is taking your photos and they wont tell when something is obviously out of place like the necklace. At least when you are taking them your self you can check the camera as many times as you want and you wont have to be annoying.
ReplyDeletethe other day i asked my mom to snap a few photos and she framed them all so it looked like a flower pot was sprouting from my head...
Glad you did get your photos taken though - I love the ruffle details!
Chic on the Cheap
This made me laugh, I have to beg my boyfriend to do pictures and then when they do they never tell you that your skirts tucked into your pants or whatever the disaster is x
ReplyDeleteThat's why I date tripod! ;) He never complains! :))
ReplyDeleteHumidity and my hair also have long term unsolved problems! But then again I sometimes love my curls. :))
What a great conversation with the boyfriend!!! It's so amusing! :D He has to go through so much...but, tell him it's worth it!! You're worth it! Hehehe. :D
ReplyDeleteYour supposed bad hair has nothing on my bad hair! And I love this dress! Awesome colour and pattern on the skirt.
ReplyDeleteMy conversations with boyfriend are similar:
"You cut my feet off in all these pictures again, except one."
Later:
him: "why did you post that picture? You don't look so cute in that one."
me: "that would be the one picture where i have feet. Remember this is a fashion blog? Not, Emily's narcissistic face in seven close-ups blog?"
So yeah, I identify!
this exchange made me laugh so much- I am exactly the same with my boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteI love him taking my pictures, but I'm far too much of a control freak. I need to check the pictures every thirty seconds when I take my own, or I find out my hair was awful in every picture.
Boys don't get it really, do they?

:D this made me laugh! I feel sorry for the boyfriends/husbands and friends who have to take outfit pics! But wer all worth it,and yours definately is,great end result,and location.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress,love the jewel colour x

Love this outfit, the back of that dress is so cool!
ReplyDeleteand haha...your poor boyfriend, I love the little recap you posted ;) See I talk to myself when I take my pictures
http://www.closet-fashionista.com/
you look gorgeous! i love this dress. and yes, that is pretty much the life of a blogger boyfriend...too funny!
ReplyDeleteHahaha that sounds like my boyfriend and me. He starts taking the pictures when I'm not ready at all, his way of telling me he's really irritated and doesn't want to do this!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA i love this post!!!!! i have to show this to matt hes going to crack up... or cry! i feel like such a catty b word all the time and i always wonder if everyone else feels the same. good to know i am not the only picky style blogger out there :) love the dress!

Steffys Pros and Cons
You look so sexy in this dress! I'm sorry, is that weird for a girl to say that to another girl? I'm straight, by the way ; ) You look gorgeous though! Love the ruffles in the back.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to your conversation with your boyfriend except I'd add in some heavy sighs and the words, "Are you kidding me?? I've taken 30 photos of you and you need more??"
That is such a lovely dress! Beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get that close to the animals and I have a really bad camera (it's a point and shoot, no special lenses). I just cropped the pics and got lucky that it looks ok :)
Whenever my boyfriends around I'm pretty sure we have the exact same conversations! :) I love this outfit it looks like a real glam dress instead of a top and skirt. I love the collar detailing so pretty!
ReplyDeleteL x
STORY OF MY LIFE. Mr. A actually does a really good job of taking pictures, though, but I still constantly bark directions at him. It's just what I do.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hate it when my necklace harnesses my boob. It makes me sad. But I have nice boobs, so I guess it's okay.
P.P.S. I love your hair in this style.

LOL! your convo with your boyfriends sounds like my convos with mine everytime he takes my pictures! lol. Love the outfit!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sugarfilledcloset.com
consider it training -- soon enough, he'll be a pro fashion photographer!
ReplyDeletethe collar is probably my favorite part. good that you got him to take a shot of it!
Yeah... that sounds exactly like me and my poor man when taking pics!! Did I tell you he also "accidentally" broke the camera? I need to buy a new camera and stop the bitchin'! You look great btw! That dress is really awesome! Hugs :)
ReplyDeleteOk first off, that blue you're wearing? Absolutely stunning on you! And you made me giggle. I very rarely giggle, and definitely not at computer screens. I annoy my boyfriend every time he takes my photos and he's done it maybe 6-7 times hahah. He also likes to ruin them by taking them too early or mid talking, or something else incredibly awkward. Oh, and I love your hair here! It looks a lot darker than usual though!
ReplyDeleteHaha!, you're conversation with your boyfriend made me laugh! I love your dress. The color is gorgeous and the ruffly detail on the collar is adorable! :)
ReplyDelete♥ Principessa Gabriella
Love the shots, and your boyfriend's patience! That color blue is pretty on you, and your hair is looking lovely and so dark! (did you color it again or is it just the shade?)
ReplyDeletehaha. how could anyone hate you? secretly or otherwise. you are gorgeous. loving that dress. the neckline is so feminine and pretty. i also really like your hair. i for one cannot see the sweat or frizz. i'm jealous of your hot weather. we have warmth right now. i hope it stays forEVER.
ReplyDeletewas again too lazy to capitalize anything except EVER on forever. i'm tired.
xoxo,
tracy
Haha! It would be the same with my boyfriend! I haven't dared pluck up the courage to ask him to be photographer just yet :D I want to attempt an outfit post at some point so will have to ask him sooner or later... Although maybe I'll balance my camera on a shelf or something first? I'm such a wuss! Totally avoiding bringing up the subject with my boyfriend LOL x x
ReplyDeletethe details on your dress are too cute. Glad you convinced your bf to take some close up shots.
ReplyDeleteThat so sounds like me and my hubby. I'm sure there's a lot of eye rolling involved too!
ReplyDeleteAHAHAHA, you never fail to make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteAww your poor boyfriend!
:(
xo
Oh my goodness, that is too funny. I am sure he doesn't hate you. :) You look absolutely stunning. I love the pleat detail in the back. Gorgeous! Also, thank you so much for your sweet comment. You leave some of the nicest ones we get!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Em
I think all of us with boyfriend photographers showed this to them and cracked up together because it's so true! Especially the zoom in, no hold it this way! Except my boyfriend has a crappy digital camera and no patience to work with so you 2 are winning! Great outfit- I love how it looks like a dress and did you dye your hair darker? It looks good!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit!
ReplyDeleteHaha true true i know what you're talking about :D
Want to follow each other? :) x

ReplyDeleteoh, and I think these photos came out really good. You look beautifl! I adore your long hair :) x
ReplyDeletewhat a great dress
ReplyDeletelaughing at you complaining about the heat
isn't the joke... but it's dry heat where here the humidity is about 140%
brett
Omg... you two sound JUST like my boyfriend and I! That is too funny! I'm sure all of our boyfriends secretly hate/love us for the super girly things we do.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of this dress, and of course the lovely detail of your skirt! haha
justQUACHit
wow this dress is stunning and i love the pics!
ReplyDeleteI don't do style blogging, but I really feel for my bf when I ask him to take pictures for me. I do the exact same thing you do, except I'm way bossier. Haha! But sometime I buy him nice food after to make up for it. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved your little timeline, totally made me laugh. Humidity does crazy things to hair, I know! :)
ReplyDeletehahahaha!!! lovely conversation! I like photos anyway and the dress is soooo gorgeous!
