Same location, different look. Trying to make it a little easier on the hubs 😉
So I can be really weird when it comes to clothing. I love oversized pieces, even when they’re not meant to be. When I told Chelsea, from Beckette Boutique, that I’d be shooting this Viktoria & Woods tank in a size 3, that sweet gal (probably thinking I was crazy) told me it might swallow me since it their size 3 is actually a Large!
These jeans are the newest from J. Brand and although I thought I’d never be able to wear these pants, like them or ever know how to style them, I managed to find some way to do it! (Let’s just hope I pulled it off okay haha)
And I actually am in the perfect place to wear them! If someone asks me if I’m preparing for a flood, I can tell them “In Charleston? Always. 🙂 “
I love a good minimalist slip on sandal! Even though this Steve Madden pair was from last year, Madewell has a similar pair, on sale for only $50, and I think they’re even cuter and much more feminine 🙂

On another note, I’d love to hear everyone’s opinion on the photography! I love getting to work with my friends, but I always feel so bad using them. I completely understand why bloggers use their husbands now and although mine will come with a fee (not even joking..he said “Okay, but I charge $30 an hour, not including travel” haha), I think it would be worth and so much easier to have him take the pictures and me edit them.
Any advice from other bloggers out there that use their husbands would be greatly appreciated!! 🙂
My boyfriend usually takes my photos, and although he is a photographer, I have had to introduce him to ‘blogger imagery’ and what not as it’s not what he typically shoots.
He’s found it really helpful for me to show him a moodboard of the looks I’m going for, and he also asks me for a shot list now because otherwise we got to a point where I was going ‘we missed the detail shots!’ afterwards, and I was just expecting that he’d get them!
I have to also mention things like, take it on an angle and etc etc. I have to take charge a bit more but allow him to let me know if my angles are off without me taking it too personally.
Hope that helps, I have to agree it will probably make it so much easier for you 🙂
Also I agree, I love oversized pieces too! Such a gorgeous look!

I also enjoy oversized clothes. Not only when they’re made that way but I’m used to buy items bigger than my normal size to make them look a little baggy. Don’t worry, you’re not alone haha
Have a nice day!

A great look! I like oversized clothing as well. As for the photography – I actually prefer working with my husband because I can tell him exactly what I want (kindly) without feeling like I’m being pushy. I’ve showed him some “fashion blogger” images so he gets a better idea of what I’m looking for and we talk about the shots as we go to the location. Hope you have a great rest of your day!
Love, Lindsey
