The economy is making short work of many businesses. This gas station near my house is one such casualty. I love the overgrownness of it all, and I instantly saw photoshoot -- the bf suggested overalls, et voila!
How do you ladies come up with your ideas for blog shoots?
Here is my compromise to the Lita's. I was in a long debate with myself on whether to get them or not and then I saw these babies which are a bit more my taste (and I've seen no one with them!). Perhaps in the future I will give in to the Lita craze, but for now, I'm beyond contented with my melon sweeties. LOVE the architecture of the heel, love the suede, love the peep toe and love that they are uber comfy!
I've had this linen dress for at least 15 years. It used to be ankle length and every year, it would just hang in my closet until I took a pair of scissors to it!
What I'm Wearing:
Dress: DKNY
Boots: Jeffrey Campbell
Body Chain: DIY
Talon Earrings: Asos
Skull Necklace: UO
Suede Pouchette: Forever21
Leather Bracelets: Random NYC street vendors
Fedora: Free People

You are such a cool lady. Visiting from Spinning Threads. I love the outfit the shoes are super cool and the background is perfect. Why is it that rusty dumpy places make the perfect photo shoot backgrounds? I do not know but they just do. I am not as fortunate to think of cool places for a photo shoot. Even though I am always in areas that would make perfect backgrounds I can't take photos of myself with kids running around. So most are taken at home and around the house outside. Sometimes I get lucky and there is a friend that snap some photos between watching kids.

Love this outfit. Those shoes are stunning! I love the heel. SO glad you opted for those instead of the Litas... sort of sick of seeing the Litas everywhere and the shoes you ended up buying are INFINITELY better.

good choice on the shoes.. I like them lots, I have only seen a couple of people with them, unlike the litas which everyone has, like you said. I like your overall dress! suuper cute :) Your photo shoots are much more interesting than mine, I just try to do it fast and I always look pretty much the same in every photo shoot.

ReplyDeleteWOW! I love your photos, your style, your poses...amazing! I live in downtown chicago so I don't have a car. I take photos that are within walking distance so there are a lot of building city views and the chicago river in my pictures. Love your blog...would you like to follow each other?
ReplyDeletewww.bravoerunway.com
at first glance, i thought these were litas. then, when i got a closer look i realized i actually like them better. to tell you the truth, i'm kind of bored with seeing litas everywhere anyway. :)
ReplyDeletei sometimes pick my outfit shot locations based on the colors of what i'm wearing or go with a theme that seemingly ties to the together, albeit loosely.
Lovely Blog!!!! Great post!!!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular dear!. No words for these shoes!
ReplyDeleteXX
Those shoes are insane!! I love them. They look like they would be ultra-comfy, which is always a plus.

ReplyDeleteI have to be honest, I like your shoes better than Litas. I mean, EVERYONE has Litas. Yours are different, and you don't see them absolutely everywhere. The cutouts and the color and that interesting heel make them special. I love what you did to the dress too! Few people could pull that off, but it looks super cute on you.
