Trifecta

Remember when I blogged about coveting a few things simply because I saw other bloggers wearing them? And how I then obsessed about each of them and did not stop searching until I found all three?
Well, here they are, the red pants, the striped blazer and the starfish cuff, all rolled into one outfit.
Not going to lie, it was way too hot to be wearing the blazer outside of arctic office air conditioning, but as a key part of the outfit, it had to be included.

 

The red jeans I purchased initially ended up being way too tight, and I had to return them and then I went for these twill pants from Urban Outfitters. When I tried them on I thought they fit perfectly, but judging by these photos, taken after I sat in them all day, they look like they might be a little too big.  Maybe they just need a roll in the dryer. I hope so, because I have a lot of outfits I want to wear with these!

I didn't end up getting down to the yacht club until 8pm, hence the low light and massive flare - it can definitely be tricky to get photos that work well, and I had more success with the closer shots than the full. 

When you shoot, do you like to experiment with different lighting conditions, or do you like simple, even light?

P.S. The shoes I ordered are both, sadly, going back.

I got Sheona, a bright fuchsia studded sandal by Nina, and the studs hurt my toes. The row of studs around the toe was one of my favorite details of the sandal, so it's dissapointing that they are the reason I can't wear them.

 

I also got Edda, a brown woven wedge with metallic detailing by Vince Camuto and they are too narrow for my chubster toes. I don't think the woven strap would lend itself well to stretching, so I'm not going to take the chance.
