what i wore :: purple & green

:: head to toe ::
glasses :: Coastal.com
dress :: vintage
cardigan :: Target
belt :: thrifted
tights :: Walmart
shoes :: Blowfish

I have had this dress for quite a few months now but I haven't really worn it. Some days I would put it on but I just wasn't quite feeling it. I loved the colours but I just wasn't sure what I wanted to pair with them. Then I realized that this cardigan and these tights matched the dress really closely! This was a very exciting day for me, I don't get out much.

On another note, this was actually my first attempt at taking outfit photos during the day with my studio lights. Normally I do it at night so that I don't get mixed lighting but it was really rainy out the other day and the living room was super dark. I closed the curtains, flicked on my lights and I was pleasantly surprised with the results! In case you are wondering about my lighting set up or what my lights look like, I posted a bit about that this morning

So here's to wearing something new and taking outfit photos on a dark, rainy day!

  3. I REALLY dig this dress. You could even go Mad Men style, do a little beehive and wear those super sassy tights with the seam in the back.

  8. I love that dress and the way you teamed it with the tights and shoes.

    I would have had no idea that you had used studio lighting. Great job!

  16. lovely dress, perfect with cardigan and tights! :)

    lighting looks good. If anything (and i hope your not offended my adding this) your complexion looks a little washed out in comparison to your photos normally? still look great though!
