Great Gatsby

I thought I'd try my hand at using props today, friends.  Maybe it will make my photos more interesting.  So, I grabbed the book I'm currently reading.  I read it in high school, but want to read it again now when I can understand it better.  You may have heard of it; it's called The Great Gatsby.  It's kind of famous.  Also, the colors on the cover match my outfit almost exactly.  It was weird having something to hold, though.  I didn't really know what to do with it.  I must need more practice.

After my post yesterday, I felt like I should wear more bright colors.  So I pulled out this sweater and these tights.  This outfit looks so much more springy and fun.  Not that I dislike the outfit from yesterday, this one is just more colorful and doesn't blend in with my background nearly as much.

This skirt is a little bit of a problem for me.  I love the fabric and the cut, but it's so short! I just can't get behind how short it is.  I think I might have to make myself a grey, knit circle skirt and retire this one.  

I'm excited to have gotten back into blogging regularly.  There were a few months there when I feel like I had no time to blog at all.  Now that I no longer have a full-time job (while it sucks for my income) I have more time to take photos and post cute outfits.  I guess I just can't ever get another full-time job as long as I have this blog.  Sorry, Mom.
