when you ask Madi to take a picture... she'll give you more bloopers than serious ones

This week went well. Classes dragged on. Homework provided only an hour of entertainment. Piano practice is draining (you thought I given up by now? ha!)

One of my homework assignments was to take a couple of pictures (portrait, landscape, action, and field of depth). So I dragged Madi and Tiffany along to help me. Here are the results of the "action" picture:

 Madi was galloping, I caught it at the wrong time

 

Some jump shots!

 

My personal favorite. I told her to leap. This is how it turned out

Oh. And an outfit post (weren't expecting that now were you?)

{shirt, skirt, shoes: Old Navy, necklace: Cheerfully Charmed}

Thanks for taking my picture, Tiff!! And letting me borrow your camera :)

Now to pack for a four hour long road trip with strangers to go home then to head back to school for take two tests that await me... yup. I hope it goes well for me too. Have a good weekend!

my new favorite thing to wear

Basic top + Cardigan + Accessory = Love

It's super simple and looks nice! 

Accessories could include a cute scarf, a nice necklace, or good-looking pair of shoes

It's easy to wear with a nice skirt for work or church.

Cheap and easy.

I'm happy my sister did this short photo shoot at the park for me. It's a nice 50 degrees outside. But... it's probably worse (as in colder) in Rexy so I'm counting my blessings. Ha.

There were kids nearby that sung the Smurf's fa-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la. That was quite interesting hearing as you take pictures.

I'm also happy how these pictures turned out, so yay!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!!

trying something new

{Top & Sweater: Old Navy, Jeans: Angel, Boots: Roommate's, Necklace: Francesca's Collections}

These were taken just outside my apartment with my low-quality iPhone camera. My roommate was practicing her photography skills on me. Have you noticed that I'm kind of awkward when getting pictures taken?

But the purpose of this post isn't to show off my funny facial expressions and stiff poses.
Do you like what I'm wearing?

I think how one's dress really shows the world who he or she are.
And that's why I like dressing up. People always ask me why I do; I really like how confident I feel. And you can't feel professional in your comfy PJ's, my friends. I've tried.
And plus, it's always nice to wear nice things.

So.

Should I do more of these outfit posts? I don't have flashy clothes brands to show off, but I do have tips for college girls who have a budget. I could also explain how to expand your closet without buying new clothes, just by mixing and pairing up different pieces.

I mean, I'm no expert. But I can share with you what works for me.
