My friends, you all know how much I despise taking indoor photos. Even with the fancy camera and fancy flash the lighting in our house is just absolutely tomb-like. I’ve complained before about the fact the room where I take my shots has no windows and it’s pumpkin orange (yes, that’s my fault and no, I have not yet found the motivation to repaint it). I had purchased a four-fold screen to use as a background, but because of the lighting the pictures were still substandard. Well, one of the gazillion reasons I love my husband is because he often will point out the obvious to me when I just don’t see it.
You see, I have a really hard time thinking outside of the box. That’s pretty much in all areas of my life except maybe putting together outfits. Perhaps I use all of my creative thinking up on my fashion choices, thus leaving nothing for anything else. Hmmm…intriguing. Anyway, the other day he asked me why I didn’t take my pictures in the kitchen since I have the screen for a background and the lighting is marginally better. Umm…gee, I don’t know. I guess because in my brain I had to take them in the computer room/office/dog bedroom; even though I have a portable background that I can move wherever I want.
I just got this gorgeous tunic at Viva la Jewels after Christmas. I also ordered it in a beautiful mocha brown color because they were having a 50% off sale, so it was pretty much like getting one for free. But alas, it was not meant to be. There was only one medium left and when they were packaging it to be shipped they noticed a defect. While I was super disappointed, I really did appreciate the fact that they caught that and didn’t send it. I paired it with my fleece lined leggings, faux fur scarf and over the knee boots because it is downright arctic outside. On a side note, I really do need to pick up more fleece lined leggings because it’s like wearing little thermal blankets on your legs…
