Let's get real for a hot minute. While I derive mucho real-life inspiration from some of my fave personal style bloggers, the blogosphere as a whole is awash with girls who take themselves far, far too seriously. I, on the other hand, don't have time for that these days. Did I ever? I'm not sure. That's, as I would say, a question for the ages. I digress.
When the gals in my office get together to take outfit snaps (Felicia Sullivan, Court and Hudson, Miss Whoever You Are, Chic Thrills...I'm looking at you), things are a little different. For one, and probably most notably, laughs ABOUND. In addition to capturing a great shot that showcases my friend's great style, I consider it among my key objectives (jargon alert) to make the subject of the photo (usually Felicia) laugh genuinely, and as hard as she can. I'm pretty confident that she feels the same...after all, I'm not a model (none of us are), so a great smile can really make or break a photo.
Of course, when you don't take yourself TOO seriously, you've got to weed through a lot of outtakes to find a great snap that captures a look head to toe. I gave up on yesterday's OOTD, so above you see one of my fave outtakes.
Here's what I've got on:
- Vince Split Neck Silk Blouse in Blush
- Club Monaco Silver Mesh Scarf
- Jimmy Choo for H&M multi-chain bracelet (gift)
- 7 for all Mankind Skinny Second Skin Legging in Rinsed Indigo (Jesus H. Christ, that is a mouthful)
- Barney's New York Knee High Boot (no longer available)
- Nails: essie Going Incognito
