the softer side

I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t feel a bit out of element for myself today and a little Susie Homemaker in my pretty patterned dress. There was a little prance to my step, but also a ton of “what the &%&$*” and “oh shit”‘s Grant writing turns me into a hot, disorganized mess who swears like a sailor.

I decided to throw my hair up after work and I started grabbing random domestic items around my apartment to play up my housewife persona for these photos. Today has been such a crap day and of course me and probably other fashion bloggers think “Oh I just need to go home and take some self portraits. That’s just what I need.” rather than “I need a drink.” It actually worked. While some people may sketch or paint to relieve stress, I paint my face up and set up the tripod and weee, instant stress reliever. I realized I inadvertently channeled Miss Pandora.

    This dress is fabulous—love the neckline and floral print! Definitely looks different from the looks usually shown on your blog, but I think you can rock this as well. 🙂

    You look so cute! Honestly, I didn't recognize you when I saw that second picture. You look fantastic in your regular style and this! Definitely shows your ability to be versatile. :]

    you look fabulous!!
    and I totally know what you mean. While I've been home from uni i've been trying to take my photos in the morning so I don't have to faff around when I get in and can no longer be bothered!!
    outfit posts take sooo much time and effort but I do love them. I'm going to miss them during my exams though- I know I just won't have time :[[[

    Haha, that picture of you with the coffee maker is hysterical. You look lovely in your glasses and house-wifey dress.
    But I really think the coffee-maker makes the shoot.

    These photos are awesome, I love your "accessories"! I have this dress and would definitely agree that it makes me feel a whole lot sweeter than I actually am when I wear it! You look gorgeous in it! xx

    These pictures are so adorable, Andrea! The updo is fantastic, and I love how the chunky nerdy glasses keep this sweeter outfit a bit funkier and still very you.
