30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 16

What I'm Wearing:

3) Blush pink lace tee- LOFT Outlet

18) Knit denim skirt- Made by me

24) Lavender crochet cardigan- LOFT Outlet

30) Brown flats- Target

Vintage pearl necklace, LOFT Outlet bracelet, and a gifted umbrella

Yesterday we had a  fun photo shoot in the rain. It was a great excuse for using umbrellas as props, trying out the wet hair look, and jumping in puddles (which I'm really far too old for. None of those photos will ever make it onto this blog!). My sister-photographer gained some experience with low-light photos and some of the different settings on the camera too. (Except for a day or two, she's taken all my pictures for these 16 days. She managed to take these while cradling an umbrella in one arm to shield her camera; she's a trooper and an awesome sis!)

What do you think of wearing two lacy things together? I started with the cardigan, which has a lacy, open crochet pattern that looks like leaves, and then I pulled some other items in soft, pastel colors to accompany it. Only there wasn't much selection in my 30 items, so this is what I ended up with! I don't love it, but it works OK.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day. We're marching steadily into the long Texas summer, but we got a blip of cooler weather today, along with clear blue skies and pure sunlight.

Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

Susan, Queen in Narnia // Inspired by Film Day 6 Fantasy and Day 7 Favorite Movie

Photos: Pinterest

Ever since I first read the Chronicles of Narnia series when I was in elementary school, I've wanted to be a queen in Narnia. Disney's 2005 The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe is my favorite fantasy film and my favorite movie all-around (of course those of you who read my Day 1 post know that I don't have many to pick from. Bit of trivia: This is one of only two films that I've seen in theaters!).

 I was inspired by Susan Pevensie's battle attire and armor in Prince Caspian and the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The brown shades, the V-neck, and leather-look belt and necklace were all pulled from her outfits. I don't know if the overall look is that reminiscent of Susan, but it looks fantastical, maybe fairy-like, in its own way.

Much thanks to Ashley at Bramblewood Fashion for hosting this fashion link-up. I had a lot of fun. It helped me to find four or five new outfit combinations that I've never tried before, which is saying something, since I don't have that many clothes, and I already consider myself pretty good at mixing and matching. Actively seeking out inspiration can do amazing things for your creativity!
