Hard to believe its getting to the point where I am forced to take pictures inside--or endure the cold! After reviewing some pictures taken outside last week, I was looking TOO COLD, if you know what I mean. And thank-God we dodged the bullet from the weekend Nor'easter and didn't get FEET of snow!
Ah, yes--the outfit! I was feeling sparkly today. Not a common feeling for me, by any means. Somehow sparkly flashes me back to sequin appliques of the 80's. Shopping in my closet, I dug up this old skirt from Christmas past, paired it with a Halloween sweater and had to don the boots--regrettably! Although I think the boots work well with the skirt, no?
My last photography class is this week, and I have concluded that my camera on auto is more skilled than I am. I'm trying to get good earring portraits but they seem to be ever-so elusive. It doesn't help that I take my pictures in the morning as I am flying out the door to go to work. Will you be patient with me while I develop some more skill?
Oh, and I think this is a great outfit for Visible Monday--don't you?
I love the whole outfit but that sweater is a knockout.
ReplyDeleteYes! This is a great outfit for Visible Monday - love that colorful sweater, and your boots, and of course, those earrings! Thanks for participating in Visible Monday, you look so great.

This is a perfect outfit for Visible Monday. And I love the skirt - just the right amount of shine!
ReplyDeleteGreat VM outfit. The sweater is a beautiful color.
ReplyDeleteYour legs look fabulous in the boots (I hope you don't mind this compliment!)
Super cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is an excellent outfit for Visible Monday!! The color of this sweater is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is so vibrant, and so are you! I admire your photos and I hope to improve myself. Need that to be a focus area down the road.
ReplyDeleteA very visible look indeed! I love these two textures together, and the boots are lovely.
ReplyDeleteGlad I found you over at NDYS:-)
yes, you look great! I love the red sweater on you, you got some nice sweaters really. The boots definitely goes well with your skirt, to show off your nice legs!

I'm all for sparkles this time of year. That sweater popped out at me in the best way, like a bright "hello" to start off the day.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is beautiful.
Great colors on you! as for the camera skills you will learn! try to avoid the flash - play with your ISO, your white balance, try the over exposed, under exposed, it ranges from -3 to +3 that should help- I mostly use the AV function

This is so cute! I love the sweater over the skirt and the boots!

Sorry to say, the flash does sometimes wash colors out.
ReplyDeleteThey need to get an auto setting that doesn't do that....
Great sweater (love the color) and I'm always happy to see some sparkle.

Have you tried upgrading your camera? Christmas is coming you know. My husband purchased a Canon Rebel and it takes the most amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteSorry it's gotten so cold! it's finally cooling off a bit here. I'm so ready for fall weather and in the meantime the rest of the country has already graduated to winter.
Sigh.
I found your blog on Citizen Rosebud's 40+ blogger list, and really enjoy your posts. I just started adding Career Dressing posts to my own blog, and am delighted to see the 40+ crowd showing life only gets better with age.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do close-up shots of my jewelry only, if it's interesting. Readers seem to like it!
Thanks for the inspiration!

I like the shimmer on your skirt! It's absolutely lovely! (And boo for coldness!)
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit and I too have indoor photo problems and usually just hope for the best, though i've found flash is just pretty flat and washes me out and my outfit! number 2 looks great! I have a book called DSLR for dummies and i think it will resurface this winter,LOL!
