storage, stripes and wind


Storage, Stripes and Wind
this is my "henh?" face + wind + sun = squinty.

Storage, Stripes and Wind


wearing:
yellow clutch purse - vintage, thrifted
primary colors striped boxy top - thrifted
cropped denim - J brand
brown wooden platform clogs - f21
blue "pearl" necklace - world market

Storage, Stripes and Wind


Storage, Stripes and Wind
(I gave up on facing the camera at this point)

Storage, Stripes and Wind
(My favorite and also the dawning of my 2011 self-portrait series - all "anonymous" in some way...)

These photos, except the last one, didn't come out nearly as good as I'd hoped. For one, I brought my tri-pod along but forgot my remote, which means my camera kept auto focusing on the building instead of me. And then, to top it off, the sun was awkward and the wind was making it difficult for me to keep a straight face or even have my face visible. But, well, you get the idea. At least I'm not modeling in front of my bare wall and electrical outlet, right?! There are so many amazing places to take outfit shots around my condo downtown, so I might as well start...
Did I mention I'm about 6'3" in these clog platforms? Oh yeah.

Loving everything about your outfit! Those platforms are just wonderful and the yellow (thrifted!!) bag is the perfect accessory. Whenever I find a good thrifted bag I am always just a little bit happier. xx

I love that you always look classy and also comfortable. Are Forever 21 clogs actually comfortable, by the way? That striped tee is awesome, what a great thrifting score. I also have to contest with wind while taking outfit photos... but if you hadn't said anything about having difficulties I would have just thought you were being model-esque!
