PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Like a good little grasshopper, I seem to be preparing for the winter already. While I'm LOVING taking all of my pictures outside, it has occurred to me that at some point in the coming months, I will no longer have that luxury. Hence, the practice shoot.

And since I was feeling very secretary today, I opted for the bookshelf. We just updated our office this spring and I LOVE the look of this corner shelf.

I'm just workin' it at home today, then out for some errands, then an evening meeting. I kind of cheated a little and wore this for my meeting yesterday, but I only had it on for about 2 hours. No harm, no foul smell.

Both of these pieces are from the glorious Sears clearance rack this past spring. The top was only $10 and the skirt $13. Can't beat that. Add to it a $7.50 belt from Ross and $8 flats from JCP and you've got yourself a major steal.

Don't try this at home, kids. I am a professional.

    Since I'm still new to all this, I kinda forgot that come winter I'll have to do my self style photos indoors. Oh noes!

  4. They top is so great! I can't get my camera to focus indoors!! I suck at photography. Or at least using my self timer. And how come you look so cute when you pose? I sometimes look like I'm constipated or something. :)

  12. Although I LOVE fall clothes and layering, I am not looking forward to all the indoor wardrobe pics from all my favorite bloggers :( natural outdoor lighting just looks so much better! You can never get a good feel for the true colors of an outfit with icky indoor lightbulbs and camera flashes. Boo!

    p.s.I like that tank!

  13. I am in awe of this outfit. It is so sophisticated. Stunning and I think if you wear it only for a few hours you are completely allowed to cheat and wear it again! :)

  15. I am jealous of all that space for books! Mine are crammed onto 4 shelves in the spare room and I have no space for any more. :(
    I see you have one of the Lucky shopping guides - I have that too!
