This is me, oddly looking like the poster child for the Aryan race. Why the hell am I so blonde? I swear, I don't look like this in real life. I mean, it's not like I look like this or anything, but you know.
We took these shots yesterday on a cool, foggy evening. And by we, I mean myself and my estranged boyfriend, because lately every time we hang out I've been
Anyway, I picked up this sweater earlier in the week at my favorite local department store for a total steal. I think it was like, $9.60 or something on super-clearance. There's not even anything wrong with it.
Sweater: Jeanne Pierre
Scarf: Madewell
Dress: Urban Outfitters
Boots: Jeffrey Campbell
Bag: Fossil
Gorgeous! And that is a crazy steal for that sweater - what an awesome deal! I really love it paired with the scarf.
ReplyDeleteHe took great pictures even if he ended up falling down - so it was worth it? LOL
i love the cut of the sweater! your purse is preety amazing, too! and pale is the new tan, so we minnesotans should be happy!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed how long your hair is getting. When the hell did that happen? I guess I don't pay attention to these sorts of things until they smack me in the face.
ReplyDeleteI really need to invest in a tripod. Actually, most of my better pictures are mirror pictures. When other people take my picture, they take it at the wrong angle, so my double chin and overall grossness is in full effect. I'm not sure if a tripod would be any better, actually. Meh.
I wish there were epic photo shoot locations like that around here.
It takes time to properly train friends and family with the camera. I've had this blog for two years and it took about that long to get el boyfriend to take post-worthy pictures that are in focus and don't cut my feet off. It CAN be done! Be a backseat photographer. It helps.
DeleteP.S. I know. About the hair, that is. I hate it.
I love these photos! The foggy background just makes you stand out and you look really beautiful! I need your camera!!

I need a photographer but I lack your balls... um... gumption to forcibly enlist a person nearby. Taking pictures by yourself is so hit-and-miss. And with a shape like mine, mostly miss.
ReplyDeleteYou are so damn photogenic. Even when you wear rags... I mean, if you ever wore rags, you still shine like a supernova. Sometimes the intensity of it hurts my eyes.
Love this outfit! Especially the scarf! :D
ReplyDelete(Yea, I'd never wear a lot of the MJ collection but its still fun, minus the hats, haha.)

cute sweater and what a steal. I dont know how ladies take their own shots. Its so much easier with a photographer to boss around :)
ReplyDeleteAnother AMAZING outfit and the last post with the Palazzo trousers was great as well (wasn't sure you would see my comment on an older post!)
ReplyDeleteLove the sweat and the scarf! The photos are so beautiful as well - perfect post:D

Haha...it's the same with my poor put-upon boyfriend. All my wonderful day trip suggestions are usually just thinly veiled 'let's take blog pictures' outings. Love your outfit here and that yellow polka dot scarf is a lovely colour pop to the outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou do what you have to do for a good picture. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look perfect! ;)
