Mom said that she'd start taking some pictures of me with her gorgeous camera and kick-ass photography skills, so you might be seeing some of my images take a step in the right direction. Since she housed fetal me in her womb and partook in that whole raising me thing, I don't feel all awkward posing for her, which is good because random drug-dealing neighbors creeping on my photo shoots makes for enough awkwardness. Plus, I want to spend more time with Mom.
Typically, we always go shopping, and I'd like to do less of that this year and more adventuring! Mom loves to take pictures and adventures, so this little arrangement means she can practice her craft while I work on bringing this blog into the land of the pretty and home of the well-written. Plus, we'll get some fun adventures out of the deal. I do believe that's what they call a win-win-win. (A win for me, a win for her, and a win for you)
Until then, allow the following picture to serve as the antithesis of what's to come.
How could I not share this warm outfit with you? Plus, I reversed the heck out of those brown boots.
I will continue my Atypical Love Story telling when Jeff's not blaring a video game in the living room and periodically sneaking into the office just to stare at me. Though I find him wildly charming and comical, his presence is not exactly conducive to my authorial creativity.
Reversed 30x30 Update:

5. polka dot tights
9. red heels
11. aztec scarf
12. teal necklace
17. polka dot cardi

33. light khakis (got a plan for these)

That's awesome that your mom will take your pictures! My remote is acting up, maybe it's the fact that I bought it from China for $15 or the fact that I tried to take pictures when it was like 5 degrees yesterday...or a combo of both. Urg. Anyway, my husband was less the. Thrilled to take mine when I started the blog, so it's great you have an actual human being to help. Also, love your best here, it's so cute with these leggings and layers.
ReplyDeleteMy picture awesomeness solely depends on someone else taking my pictures for me. I suck at determining good lighting and don't always realize this until I look at the pictures hours/days later and go, "Wow, these are really dark." I gotta put hubby to work!

I'm dying about the comment you wrote about Jeff coming in to stare at you - bahaha, he and Kevin have that in common :) I am jealous that you have a mom with not only a great camera and a knack for photography, but one with whom you love to spend time and is willing to photograph you in your kick-ass outfits for the blog! I love it. I still really like your "reverse 30x30" idea - I might have to borrow it myself some day!
