Did you get that?
That means I have two more years left, but it sounds like less time if I spin it as my second-to-last fall semester. I'm halfway through. Yay!
And I did not wear this outfit today nor would it matter if I had because my classes are all online. I'm way past those Septembers when I'd anxiously pick out my first-day-of-school ensemble, which was inevitably some ill-conceived, overly trendy getup. I'm pretty sure in 9th grade I sported a flannel shirt, jeans and lace-up boots.
Oh. Wait.
Isn't that what's all over the runways this fall? Ah, 90s grunge. So good to see you again. Let me pull my teenage angst out of the closet along with some Doc Martens. Maybe I'll stop washing my hair for weeks on end and sleep with my make-up on, too, since you know, grunge beauty is back.
But whatever. Back to my decidedly non-grungy ensemble. I wore this the other day for work. Nothing special. Just another day at the office. It's hard to tell, but that belt is leopard print.
Top: Forever 21
Sweater: LOFT

Okay, I know I said I thought I found the perfect picture taking spot, but now I'm not so sure. The background is good, but the lighting sort of makes me look like a little troll who just crept out from under a bridge- all shadowy and creepy. (Unless I take the pictures on weekend afternoon at about 2 p.m. Then I look like a glowing angel with a halo.)
Sigh.
The quest continues.
Welcome to Moxie/Grace, my inspiration board for fashion, style and design. For as long as I can remember I've loved fashion and style (and fashion journalism). So now, thanks to the world of self-publishing, I have my own little thread of the fashion blogging cloth.

I love your skirt!
ReplyDeletethe quest for good picture spots is a hard one. I'm not sure I've ever really found a great one. All my favorite pictures are the ones taken midday...which can only happen on the weekends. I'm not about to take my tripod out to the parking lot on my lunch hour!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Felicity!
ReplyDeleteKelly, I'm so frustrated with this photography spot thing. I wish I had a fiance who also happened to be a photographer. There are so many cool spots around my town for pics, but there is no way I'm lugging out the tripod and setting up a self-portrait photo shoot. Although, that could be interesting for publicity...
