As much as I love the extra hour of sleep I got from daylight savings time last month, I don't love the fact that I now have to drive both to and from work in the dark. Aside from being generally depressing (who wants to spend all of the daylight hours in a cubicle?), it also makes outfit shoots very difficult! Lately I've felt like I'm falling into a bit of a rut with my outfits, so I'm actually kind of excited for the snow to start falling - I think the change of scenery will do me and my wardrobe good.
Thankfully, I've been able to keep busy - very busy, in fact! As I mentioned previously, Chris and I were in charge of putting together a special DIY section for the local magazine we both write for (On-the-Town), so this weekend was full of writing and taking photos. I've always admired DIYs I've found online, but truth be told, I had done very few of them myself...until this weekend! Technically, doing this project meant that I had to work all day on my day off, but it felt wonderful to try something new. If I get permission from the editor, I hope to post some of the DIYs here on the blog.
Last weekend, we also had my mom's vintage fashion show, which went great! It's always a little bit hard to tell how well these shows go when you're backstage, but I heard lots of lovely comments. I wore a wedding outfit from the 1880's, and - my favorite - a gorgeous lace wedding dress from the 1940's. Sadly, I neglected to bring my camera...so I think I'll hold off on giving you the full recap until I can get my hands on photos from someone else. It's not the same using words; my mom's dressesat really must be seen to be appreciated!
I hope you all had a great Monday! Do you have any fun plans for the week?
I love the cut and print of that dress!
ReplyDeleteThis blouse is so so gorgeous!!! I love the cute little fox print, so lovely with that skirt and those tights. It is super depressing to drive to and from work in the dark, it's the worst!!

Your top is so incredibly adorable. And I know what you mean about daylight savings. I hate that it gets dark so early at night and it stays dark so late in the morning. It's so hard to get up when it's still dark outside.

ReplyDeleteI agree-I hate daylight savings too! I just don't understand the point! Now no matter how early I try to get out of work, it's always already dark by the time I get home!

I think we should start an obsessed with foxes club! Seriously this top is PERFECT on you. Like it was made for you. The cut, the color of the foxes with your hair. Like I just want to be you in these photos. You're adorable.
