The weather was so nice outside that I was able to take my sweater off for a little while and not freeze, but it was super windy, so I had to make sure I didn't accidentally flash anyone with my dress.
Anyways, about this dress. I'm pretty sure it's magic, because I love the color and the shape, and I was tempted to save it to be the last dress in The Dress Project. I got it for a wedding a couple years ago, and have since gotten it shortened. It's got a nice detail around the waist, and I always feel like Betty Draper whenever I wear it.
I'm in love with this location -- it's just a stairway in a park near our home, but our pictures always turn out nice when we take them there. It was a little busy at the park today, so it was a bit awkward when whole families walked by us on the steps. I felt compelled to halfheartedly shrug, "Graduation photos," as if that would explain our compulsive photo-taking and my vanity. Somehow trying to explain that I have a style blog seemed much more complicated.
How do you deal with onlookers during your blog photoshoots?
About to eat some dinner -- have a great night!

OMG. So pwetty !!
i super love the dress!so chic and summery!
I love this color! You look fantastic!
I have yet to brave taking photos in public locales. Well I've done a few but I'm pretty good at taking just 5 photos and we're outta there!
What a great look, a wonderful dress!! Love it :D
very nice color for you- and I have to say that I usually try to do my wardrobe pics incognito when I'm not at home in my backyard. LOL I usually hide behind my office or do it when everyone is out to lunch. It's too complicated to try and explain why I'm taking pictures of myself! LOL
ps- I am actually wearing a dress in my photo today- it's just styled as a skirt. :)
THANK YOU! :)
Wow. What a beautiful color on you!
You picked a great time of year to catalogue your dresses. This weather is crazy enough to get in winter and summer!
Also, very cute dress. :)
JoAnn - I'm so jealous that you can wear a sleeveless dress. Scratch that envious. The color looks fantastic on you and this project is fabulous.
Hi! Can I have your bracelet? I can?! Wow, thanks!
j.k. You look super cute as always.
very betty draper! gorgeous!
This dress is beautiful on you. The vivid blue of both the dress and the sky make me so jealous. Here it's just cold and gray.
That dress is magical! Its a great shape for you and we all know you look amazing in colors.
I talk all my pictures myself so most of the time people ask me if I need help and its only when I say no, I'm doing a self portrait project that I feel like I get the judging stares. Oh well!
This color is amazing on you!
awww how gorgeous is this aquamarine shade on you?! it's perfect for spring!
The cheery color of your dress and that bright, bright sky are seriously making me long for warmer weather! You look so gorgeous!

It's a gorgeous dress and you look amazing in that color! I'm so jealous that the weather is already so warm there!
ANOTHER color that looks utterly perfect on you! And the jade bangle is fantastic with it.
I love the color of this dress!
I usually try to take photos in places where there aren't a lot of people, but if someone asks me what I'm doing, I usually just say it's for a project. Because telling a stranger that I take pictures of myself everyday and post them on the internet just feels weird and creepy.
what a pretty color on you!
you're so pretty! what a great color on you
That is SO your color. Seriously. It totally complements your skin tone. Plus, I love that color too! :) Anyway, you know you look good in that dress, as we all do ;);)
