Denim and Paisely

[ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] I’ve owned a DSLR camera since maybe around 2011 and I’m still learning new things about it every time I turn around. When I first got the camera I thought it would automatically make my pictures that much better. You know, because when you pay $1000+ for a camera that’s just supposed to happen right? I cringe every time I look back at my older photos. They were so small, so dark, so… unflattering. I had to learn how to shoot in Manual.

“When you stop living is when you stop aging.” [ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] Are you surprised as I am that I’m actually sorta consistent with my fashion post? My capsule wardrobe is kinda non-existent for the summer, but I’m making it work and being creative.

Winter Capsule Wardrobe Outfit Style One.

Winter Capsule Wardrobe Outfit Style One.

Now that I’ve shared with you all the items from my winter capsule wardrobe I had the grand idea to start snapping pictures of each outfit as I wore them. However, there is one slight problem. My husband leaves super early in the morning for work and I haven’t even budged from the bed before he’s out the door. To remedy this, I had the grand idea that I would shoot my own OOTD photos.

Butterfly in the Sky: Echo Design Hunt Solem Limited Edition Scarves

Butterfly in the Sky: Echo Design Hunt Solem Limited Edition Scarves

I love scarves. They are probably the most versatile accessory one could every own. I have a drawer full of different styles and prints and you usually won’t catch me without one as I get cold easily or you’ll find me wearing one as a head wrap to accessorize those bad hair days.  The scarf I’m wearing today was gifted to me by the company Echo Design. Echo Design carries an array of scarves in diverse color palettes and patterns. Since Spring has finally made its way to the Philadelphia area I decided to pair this Limited Edition Butterfly Fields Scarf…
