Houndstooth.

So after about a million editing attempts, I think I've got a method down! I even managed to put my new editing technique as an Action on Photoshop, so it is easily accessible now! I'm so happy. :) It just better work for all my photos as well as I think it worked this time!

Along with struggling a bit with the editing process, I had to take these photos in a light rain fall! I (somehow) managed to prop up an umbrella over my camera as to not risk anything by getting it wet. Surprisingly, it worked long enough to get all these photos! It's a shame I don't have a photographer, but even so, I think I can pose better without someone watching me. Heheh. ;)

About my outfit - I've decided, I LOVE CAPES/PONCHOS. I have a new obsession! A great look I recently saw with one in it is in this post from Lucy of Dear Fish. Really, I love these things! This vintage houndstooth cape is part of a suit set that belongs to my mom, but has been hidden away in the garage! So glad I pulled it out!

2/7 finals finished; 5/7 finals left! See you soon!

  17. I love this cape! It makes you look like Twiggy, very mod! That's awesome that it's your mom's, she must be very stylish. I really like the editing that you did on your photos, that's awesome that you figured it out. I have the sketchiest photo editing program and I really wish I had photoshop. I'm jealous!
    Oh, and thanks for the shoutout! xx

  22. I love the cape and tights and the whole color palette here!! You have such a cute look, someone said Twiggy and they were right!! I also struggle with having someone else take my photos, I blank out and dont know how to pose! In private I could pose for hours though...

  24. I love your houndstooth cape! It's such a classic print and cut, and yet when paired with the pop of turquoise, the whole look is fresh and new! I especially like it paired with these lace tights!
    (And, I know what you mean about sometimes wishing you had a photographer! I'm a remote + tripod girl, and it can get tough - especially now when it's always snowing where I live! You do a great job with your photos. Beautiful!)
