Camel + Leopard

These photos were so overexposed it is remarkable lightroom was able to salvage them... but I still feel like they look just a bit off.

However, it was way too cold for me to even consider re-shooting! I'd like to say it's officially freezing out there, but actually it's only 40°. Whatever, it feels like 10 below to me!

This is only the second time I've taken photos at the library, but I do love the steps and marble and columns. They make for a nice clean backdrop.

    These photos are just lovely. I love the library backdrop and the leopard and great knit are just so pretty. Think warm thoughts! (It snowed here today too-yuck)

    I'd never have realised something was wrong with the photos, they just look like it's really sunny over there. :)

    Great outfit, I love how you coordinate the little details, as always. I should learn from you! :)

    I am cursing you because ever since you first wore this camel sweater I have been obsessing about finding one. I really need to work on my thrifting skills!

    What a great location.
    And that is a marvelous skirt.
    Lately I find myself reaching for animal print more and more.
    I have been thinking about getting a camera (a real one) and taking better pictures... but I don't know if I'll have the guts to do these outside. I guess you are use to it by now.

    GREAT SWEATER. I love camel. Yeah!

    Your photos look fine to me! I have a habit of overexposing my photos all the time but I still think they look alright. I'm not too fussy!

    This is a great background! Would never have guessed you had to fuss with post-editing work.
    The sky is lovely and blue, so at least it was sunny even if it felt like it was freezing!

    I like this background, too! It was 30 the other day and I was so cold that I wore a sweater. I wish I could recreate this look but I don't have a camel sweater or a leopard skirt. Poo.

    the library made for an excellent backdrop. I feel like the cold just came out of nowhere. 40 feels a lot colder than I remember....

    Such a pretty backdrop! I am a fan of rather plain backdrops haha. :) I love how that necklace is like the focal point-- it's so neat! Also, those shoes are adorable. You have so many cute things, my lyddie~

    That camel sweater is such a great classic piece. You find great things thrifting. If we ever meet, we will have to go thrift shopping so you can teach me your tricks.

    I'm wearing a leopard shirt finally today. I mentioned you in the post.
