after posting my “bloopers” yesterday, i have to tell you, i’m feeling very liberated and more comfortable than ever. i was embarrassed to post them, so it took a leap of faith, but i’m really glad that i did. just confirming what i already knew, but sometimes forget: it’s always good to have a sense of humor about yourself, and life in general! so when i went outside to snap a few pictures of my outfit yesterday, i took the spirit of the bloopers and tried to be more fluid in front of the camera. the resulting shoot ended up showing a lot more movement than usual! and it just goes to show how much your attitude can affect your actions, even if it’s something as seemingly simple as a daily outfit post. it’s not to say that i had a bad attitude before, but it’s good to have a reminder that you don’t have to take things too seriously!
ok, now enough with the unsolicited advice! it’s really just my own reminder, but i thought i would share… my outfit today was actually based around these new jeffrey campbell oxfords i got in the mail. i actually ordered them for my upcoming bike trip, but of course, i couldn’t resist wearing them the moment i took them out of the package. the combination of dusty olive and cognac leather makes them really versatile and the cut outs keep them cool and breezy. but i should probably stop talking about them so much because you’re about to see me wearing them probably every day for the next two weeks! more on that later. but for now, happy friday!

Ooooo love the shoes! I've had my eye on those.
Loved your post yesterday, inspired me to gather some outtakes of my own! So next week hopefully I'll gather up the courage to post the funny pics of myself.

Wow…I haven't been buy many shoes lately, but I think that the Jeffrey Campbell's you are wearing are going on my wish list! I'm not into oxfords, but I like these.
Love these photos and the dress is so so cute! I'm glad you had more fun with the outfit post! They really do look great.
I love these shots! It's nice to see movement and "life" in the outfits.
i love the feel of these photos, the first and last especially.
Love! The lighting is so pretty too! I think it'd be awesome if you had a little blooper roundup every so often! :)
aaahh those oxfords are worth wearing now!!!! they're incredible! :D

I'm in love with those shoes. Jeffery Campbell makes the most amazing shoes. I've wanted to buy those shoes for a while, but wasn't sure. Now I see that they are adorable!

I love the little peek-a-boo holes in the shoes <3
Gorgeous oxfords, I love the subtle two-tone.
ooh sweeeeet! love the ascot bow blouse with the dress!
This might be one of my favorite photo shoots yet! The movement, the light orbs, it's beautiful!
I love these pictures, just as I loved the bloopers yesterday! It's always good to have a bit of fun with them… ; )

Very cute!! Daisy Dayz Home
It's a lot easier to relate to people on the internet if they look human. Sometimes I get so caught up in trying to take a good photo of myself what a silly thing it is to do in the first place.
Anyway, such killer shades!
This outfit is great – your hair, the blouse, sunnies and dress work really well together! awesome!
Just love your style!!

This is absolutely the cutest outfit I've seen you in. I love it! Fabulous. xoxo
Your style is very unique as well as your photos. I like your stoic photos as wells as your more fluid ones. I enjoy your backgrounds and I feel a kind of centering because you are a steady, positive blogger/artist! that makes sure you connect with your followers. I think you are doing great. You and Lulu Letty were one of the first fashion bloggers I stumbled upon so I will always remember you guys as sparking my passion and taking my own blogging into a new chapter. Thanks so much
Hi Krystal! I love this outfit, so much so it was one of my favorites from this past week. So I featured you on my blog! :)

Tee-hee! I have both the shoes AND the Steven Alan top (in brown, also from Gilt). I didn't think to wear it under a dress, though, it looks cute!
