I must warn you all in advance that this will be a very picture-heavy post. My mom took these photos for me, and a lot of them turned out really well. I just couldn't decide!
A lot of bloggers take photos out in the middle of the street. I would give examples here, but I can only think of one, which is not a very strong argument. So just take my word for it. Anyway, I've always wanted to try it. I think my mom thought I was crazy when I told her I wanted to stand in the street to take photos. She said "Why don't you stand near the garden? Or in the driveway?" (That is not verbatim, I don't remember what she actually said. It was something along those lines.) And I insisted that I stand in the street. Thankfully, no cars came.
Then my mom (who is not a trained photographer) said "I have an idea! Go pick up that leaf!" So I did. Hey, it was my mom. I can't really say no. It was very nice having her to take my photos. Sometimes I get sick of standing in front of my tripod and waiting for the self-timer to go off. Having a photographer is wonderful.
I wore this outfit yesterday to Friends Meeting. My mom's side of the family is Quaker, so whenever we're in town we go to meeting. It's very nice and I enjoy it quite a bit. Afterward, my mom and my uncle and I went to Panera and had lunch, while using their wi-fi for 2 hours. Then we had a wonderful dinner at my grandparent's house with most of the family.
This picture is merely to show of my creative scarf skills. I love infinity scarves more than anything in the world (seriously) but I don't want to commit to sewing the two ends of my scarves together. What if I decide I don't want to wear it as a loop? Hmm? So instead, I've taken to just knotting the two ends together. It leaves the scarf super full and fun.

ReplyDeletelove the dress, the whole outfit is so fun and colourful. wish we had a target in the uk! your mum did such a great job. I often take pics in the street, I would love to go nice places to take pics but mostly this isn't possible, so the street does just fine :)
