I always feel a bit weird posting videos because there’s such a striking contrast in quality between them and the rest of the content of my blog — I like to think I’m a pretty good writer, but I know I write well at the very least, and all my photos are taken with my DSLR and carefully edited. Then I post a video I filmed with the built-in camera on my laptop (the only one I have available, and iMovie won’t recognize it now so I have to shoot in Photo Booth) and the questionable quality hits me in the face. And I feel like it drags the whole blog down with it. Is that weird? Either way I don’t want my only post on a given day to be one I feel drags the quality of my blog down, so I’m posting something else as well. Helps that I had it shot and edited already!
Outfit Post: The Roaring Blues
I have an overshooting problem. I’m sorry! I just can’t help myself. For some reason, when I’m editing photos, I always feel like there aren’t enough good ones, and then I go rename the files something meaningful and I realize I wound up with 21, and I love them all. Or at least I like them all about the same. Narrowing them down, however minimally, is a painful process.
Anyway, this is my second outfit for the 30×30 remix challenge! I can already tell I’m going to be relying quite heavily on accessories to inspire me. Where Ready to Fall had a braided floral crown from The Evergreen Nest, The Roaring Blues features a beautiful made-to-measure cloche hat by the amazing Nadine of hiddenNZ. I’m obsessed with cloche hats, and I’m still over the moon about having not one but two (sidebar pic!) that are gorgeous and season-nonspecific (warm for winter — and deliberately warm over the ears — but completely comfortable in September, too!) and fit my tiny head perfectly.
Outfit Post: Ready to Fall
This is my first post for the 30×30 remix challenge! I’ll be sharing a list of the items I picked sometime this week as well. For my first outfit, I was fairly lazy — as usual — and paired up a comfortable dress with a flower crown I got in May and hadn’t yet got around to wearing. I had the pleasure of working with Mary Katherine from The Evergreen Nest on Etsy — highly recommend you check out her shop if you like flower crowns or anything fairy-related! My bracelet was also made by an Etsy seller, Melissa of You Can Sparkle.
Back to this outfit, this is the first time I’ve shot a full-body outfit since around May; I’m a bit rusty. I really need to find a guinea pig to model for me so I can learn how to do this then transfer the info onto my mom (and use it myself once I’ve got a tripod. Oh, if only). But it was fun and an excellent start to the month to get going right away on all my projects.
