Blues
I wore this yesterday. As I sort of predicted for myself– mostly because of the weather– I didn’t get this week’s posts pre-scheduled by Saturday. But I’m still aiming to post five days this week! Hopefully the weather will comply. I really need to get in the habit of asking Mr. Owl to go take outfit pictures with me– it’s not that he’s unwilling, it’s just that we start having too much fun to go take pictures, or we get distracted by something else, and then when I finally remember to ask, it’s too dark/raining/insert-another-weather-condition-here.
And the weather has been extremely temperamental lately! Such as yesterday. We had just barely left the beach from taking these pictures when it started to rain. Good timing, or what?
And now I’ve got to rush, because I’m supposed to be leaving my house… um… now… to spend the  night with a friend of mine (an evening of girliness is planned) but instead I’m pre-scheduling this blog. Hooray for last-minute blogging!
I’m getting more used to having a real person take pictures of me… which means that soon, most of my pictures will look like this:
Professional model pose. I know. It’s beautiful. 😉
Yes, I have fun.
I also managed to snag a picture of Mr. Owl. Looking sort of roguish.
All I have to say about that is: *swoon*
And with that, I’m off! I haven’t got time to label my items; everything but the shoes was thrifted. And the shoes are from Target.
I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

These pictures are so pretty! I really like the color combination in this outfit too. The blue skirt is such a nice color.

Thank you! I like the color combination more than I expected. 🙂

Cute! I love the stripes, the blue skirt is lovely, and the pockets are a wonderful bonus. I’m a sucker for pocketed skirts or dresses.
Mara
Me, too! If a dress or a skirt has pockets, I instantly need it.

Hi neighbor! I’m from, Seattle too.
Such lovely pictures!! I have the hardest time relaxing when someone else is taking my picture! Hopefully, I can get over it soon. One of my old school friends just moved to town and she is an excellent photographer, so hopefully she can shoot me regularly!
What beach are you at? I don’t quite recognize it.
Stop by and say hello! I’m hosting a giveaway right now 🙂

Oops, improper comma use!

I think it gets a lot easier quicker if it’s someone you’re really comfortable with! It’s taken about four outfit shoots and now I’m much more comfortable having Mr. Owl take my pictures!
It’s a little beach in Olalla (I’m not actually from Seattle, I just live close enough that it’s the landmarker I give people. 🙂 )

I don’t know why, but sometimes couples just look like they belong together. You two totally do 🙂
Mara
Aww, thank you!

Another blog I follow has just begun discussing a subject that made me think of you. It’s about the photos used to sell knitwear patterns, but today’s post was specifically about when the photos are taken of the female designer by her significant other and how that can differ than if she takes them herself, or a stranger takes them. You might find it interesting 🙂

Hi! I’m back from my trip and now I’ll catch up with all the posts I missed 🙂 These pictures are really gorgeous. Indeed, you’re getting used to your photographer! And the outfit is lovely. This skirt looks just amazing on you! And mr. Owl is perfect, you both are perfect! Really! <3 You're meant to be together and I'm sure for this <3

Oh, I hope you had fun!
Hehe, yes. I think so too!
