Black, Blue, and Braided

Warm weather is still trying to stick around here so this high waisted number was worn sans tights yesterday. Luckily, sunshine was the perfect accessory to this bright blue skirt. However, this bright piece needed some basic neutrals to complement it. I used to think mixing black and brown together just did not look right but I think I'm coming around to it. The 10-day forecast doesn't show colder weather coming back until next week so here's to living it up in the sun!

P.S. Isn't Charlotte a cutie? She loves a photo shoot with her mommy!

Photo Fun

A few days ago I got together with a old friend, Rachel, to help her take some pictures of her little girl. As two past photography students, and her with loads of great portrait gear, we teamed up to have some fun with her almost one-year-old. So while everything was set up, I talked Rachel into taking a few snaps of me for an outfitting post.

I am totally loving the colored pants trend that is going on right now and these rusty red skinnies have gotten a lot of wear this summer and I can't wait to pair them with boots for fall. We've been having some weird temperature swings in Kentucky so layering with lighter pieces have done the trick when it goes form 50 to 70 degrees in the span of one afternoon!
