I'm also debuting my new black boots which replace the ones that died at the beginning of the month. I tried on countless pairs, but finally settled on these when they went on super sale. They're perfect for the weather and I'd probably be in my wellies again if I didn't have them. (And thank you all again for your recommendations!)
Today the weather is really crummy, but I'm amazed at how good the color comes out when there's a cloud covering. I photographed in the middle of the day but even if it doesn't have the effect of morning or Golden Hour, there's still there's no streaky light across my photos. I wonder if I can always use rainy days to my advantage?
A friend of mine asked me about my motivation for style blogging last night and I couldn't really give him a straight answer about why I started (other than Ray asking me to), but I know that right now my main motivations are a sense of community with other style bloggers and an increasing interest in auto-photography, which always makes me think of Cindy Sherman. I've thought about the blogs I like to read and about how important both prose and layout is. Looking back on my initial outfit shots starting in September, it occurs to me how horrible those were for readers! Seriously, it makes me cringe to see this post. Sure, I was camera shy and I hadn't figured out how to access the newest form of blogger that allows posting in XL, but to really give an account of sartorial choices you actually need to be able to see them.
