Not So Neutral

Today's outfit consists of neutral colors but with animal prints in the hat  and patterns in the skirt, I would say it's not so neutral after all.

Today's photo shoot was something else.  From the conversation I had with my "photographer extraordinaire" it seems as if he is tired of seeing me pose, standing crossed legged as shown in the second photograph.  Like any other Sunday, after church we would stop by one of the parks on our way home and I would strut my stuff as he clicks away.  However today, after a few clicks he suddenly stopped and said, I think you need to look through some more magazines and practice your poses because you seem to be doing the same thing all the time.  WHAT??????? Okay, I am calm now and yes he is still alive and well, I did not hit him with my shoe but I am not going to spend too much money on magazines either.  

Thank you so much for visiting, let me know if you prefer the oxfords or wedges in the comments box below.

  1. Isn't funny how our "photographers" can start to get picky?! You look adorable in this outfit. The cloche looks very 1940's inspired, and I really dig the shoes!

  2. You look adooorable in all your photos! This is the cutest little hat I've seen - such unexpected pattern for this shape.

    I like changes and experiment with movement shots more lately. But it doesn't mean that I'll stop my cross leg pose, at least not yet. :)

  18. You are such a beauty, you know? Fabulous hat, of course, and nobody but you mixes prints so subtly and expressively and effectively at the same time. I remember why I enjoy fall when I see this outfit!

  20. Hilarious and amazing that photogpraher is still alive and not concussed! I agree with Jan; you are beautiful! I vote for the oxfords. I love them and I think they add some zip to the outfit.

  21. Ha!! I laughed when I read about your opinionated photographer (I'm assuming your husband?)...my own can also become quite bossy when we're out taking pictures!! Sometimes I appreciate the guidance; but sometimes, I think he might be taking his position just a tad too seriously!! ;) But who are we to complain, dear Elsie...it's so sweet to have someone that's really supportive of our blogging endeavours, don't you think?! As for your look here...I LOVE the subtle pattern mix of your cute cloche hat and the pretty skirt!! And although my first instinct was to say "go with the wedges," I think I actually like the oxfords more; they add a touch of sassy personality!! XO
