It was way more fun than usual to snap these pics...it may or may not have had to do with the numerous whiskey sours we were drinking. Not sure. Maybe?
We had to! Matt got a promotion...hard-earned and it came at just the right time. :) God is gooooood...and for that reason we couldn't pass-up the opportunity to clink glasses and sling back a couple...a few. 
& then we took pictures...for the blog, of course. I think the husband has finally come to terms with the fact that he is my personal LiM photog. He fought the inevitable for a while. Haha. So...I thought we had gotten a mess of good ones...and then I got home and uploaded them....uuummmmmm. The ones you're now seeing are the few that didn't include my eyes half closed or some odd/disturbing smirk. 
I guess drinking and good blog photos don't go hand-in-hand. Shucks. ;)
where we were: The Hill Bar & Grill, Mint Hill NC
what I wore: customized high-waist maxi skirt c/o eshakti - very comfy! I felt awesome all day.  J.Crew casual cotton top, similar Steve Madden sandals, similar F21 + DIY color-block bracelet

printed + awkward.

{my outfit} headband: f21//locket: pressie from dad//aviary printed shirtdress: eshakti*//bracelet: antique pearl necklace//blue pumps: steve madden

{the babe's} printed top: Target//dark denim jeggings: Target//shoes: Keds

I'm awkward when it comes to blog shoots in public when there are a lot of random people around. 

I look for areas where strangers are minimal. "Quick! Let's run over there and shoot really quick before people come"...that's me...instructing my husband/photog ;). 

I try to pass it off as a family photo opp...even though I am usually the only one posing in front of the camera...haha.

Does anyone else feel at least slightly self conscious when blog shooting in public?

Do share. 

ps. it is just now getting chilly enough for layers here in NC, hence the lack of fun, fall-ish outfits. Soon, soon..I shall be fully layered.

*The bird print dress is from eshakti, my latest online boutique find.

They made the dress using my exact measurements and style specifications (desired length, etc).

I know, so cool.

The dress fits me like a glove, lovies.

they design. you customize.
