And it seems I can't stop touching my hat...
The Rundown
Dress American Eagle - Cardigan Kohls - Shoes Nine West - Hat Kohls - Ring Kohls
I wanted to wear something festive because my brother and his fiancé were visiting and we said we were going to take the christmas card photo. This is kind of a joke, because we say we are going to take this photo every year, and then never do. Meanwhile my brother and I photograph everything else under the sun...
He took this photo of all our starbucks cups, but it was totally my idea...
My Brother also took my Saturday outfit shots.
I finally got out my leather jacket, and added my new fur collar to it. The jacket was quite a conquest; it was from Express originally and I coveted it in high school, but could never afford it. Then I decided to look for it two winters ago, and finally found (and won) it on ebay!
The Rundown
Jacket Express - Fur Collar Thrifted - Top Gap - Jeans Max Studio - Booties Madden Girl- Ring American Eagle - Bag Thrifted
This color combo is so cute! Purple and red is such a great combo for the holidays :0) Again, I'm loving this hat!
ReplyDeleteThe red and purple look super together. And I love the leather jacket with fur collar. Gorgeous! You and your brother both take fantastic photos.
ReplyDeletethe plaid outfit is so fun and adorable. i love how you paired the fur collar with the express mod jacket...so creative.
ReplyDeleteand there's that quilted purse again...i want to covet it! :)

Oh, these are all such pretty pictures! I love the one of the cups your brother took.. but of course, your idea was super wonderful. ;)) Purple and red plaid are so pretty, and your little cloche hat is just so adorable. :DD!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas card outfit! I never think to put purple and red together, but it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pictures you and your brother took - they're really neat! I especially like all the Starbucks cups.
And between 30 for 30 and seeing everyone else's weekend posts, I am starting to rethink how I dress on the weekends. I just need to find things to do to get out of the house more in the winter so it makes sense for me to try dressing up :)
Oh, I want the first look!! I LOVE the color and how the belt is on top of the cardigan so it's not just all purple. You sure love touching your hat : ) Lovely shots!
ReplyDeletePuffy dogs wagging their tails,

ReplyDeleteSo I am LOVING these images so much. They look seriously look like a shoot from a magazine. What ended up happening with your camera? Did you get a new one, or just a new lens? Whatever you did, it's working, haha! :D

ReplyDeleteI love how colorful the background are, with the fall leaves.... you take awesome self portraits!!
I would be honored if you stop by my blog and follow me!! I am also having a giveaway.
I like it when you post every day, too. :)
Your bro is WAY talented lady! And that cloche...so very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAH THIS OUTFIT IS SO ADORABLE. I'm totally getting a Christmas vibe from this. Possibly because I had a dress like that in my childhood and it was my "Christmas" dress. It was an amazing dress.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've styled it - the colours are divine! (And I NEVER say Divine!)

I am such a ginormous sucker for anything plaid, and I love the unexpected combination of red with purple. It's so lively and festive. You did a great job of altering the dress and styling it for everyday wear. (A hard task with a strapless dress).
ReplyDeleteAnd the family coffee cup photo is great. You could just put little name labels over each cup and have that be your family Christmas card. You, of course, would be the one most in focus! haha
Beautiful and Amazing pictures. LOVE your plaid dress and your hat and your leather jacket is yummilicious indeed :)

Is that the fur collar you got at the thrift store? Nice! I am in love with black leather right now and fur, so seeing this was delightful. :) I like the plaid and the other photos, too! I think I remember your hat from another post. That means I am a regular on your blog now. Haha.

Oooh, what a great plaid dress!
ReplyDeleteTo me, sometimes, purple and red can look older (I think it’s because of those older ladies’ clubs with the hats), but this outfit looks so fresh and young! The dress is so girly and fun and that hat is just too perfect. Very lovely!
