I finally got the guts to go to a neutral location for these photos. There were people walking around and I felt so strange self-photography myself. It took me longer than I expected, because I wasn’t used to the location. Also because of the shaded area, I had a hard time figuring out how to make the photos brighter. I hate using flash because I tend to blink!
Top: Petal Tank Top by LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls
Blazer: Banana Republic Striped Blazer
Bottoms: Ann Taylor Loft Lengthening Trousers
Shoes: Ann Taylor Perfect Leather Pumps
Jewelry: Amritha Singh Turquoise Statement Necklace, Jewelmint Soleil Bracelet
Handbag: Chanel Jumbo Lambskin Classic in Turquoise
These Ann Taylor Loft trousers were from their 2011 Leg Lengthening line. It is very comfortable however runs larger than normal even at a Petite size. I normally wear a size 6 Petites in bottoms. Yet I am wearing a size 4 Petite.
I am adoring my Chanel Jumbo Classic handbag. The lambskin is so soft and buttery. But it scratches so easily. At least I am using it! The turquoise is such a different color. I am hoping to get more use out of it.
Thanks for reading!
I'm Helen and thank you for visiting my personal blog. I own my business with my husband and we have 3 beautiful girls. My blog is about my journey to get and stay healthy, and my love for fashion. I dabble in many stuff such as DIYs, decorating, and parenting tips that worked for me. I want my blog to inspire and motivate others who are on the same path as me.
i love your handbag! who doesn’t love chanel?
want to follow each other?
That bag is gorgeous, and I know how easily lambskin scratches! I remember taking photos outdoors the first time thinking it was awkward but luckily my Mom took them so it looked like we were tourists in Chicago 😉
What a gorgeous Chanel! I have that same tank except in lavender – I love how feminine the Lauren Conrad line is at Kohl’s 🙂 Good for you on taking photos in a different locale! I can barely do it in my backyard for fear of a neighbor seeing me haha
Thank you for your detailed rec about the Coach handbag! So thoughtful – however now I am distracted by your beautiful turquoise jumbo, wow!
Surprisingly, turquoise teal is the perfect year-round color and it looks so great with the pastels in your outfit! Also I think you need to start another blog dealing solely with blazers because you always seem to find the best ones! Is the BR blazer one and the same as this season’s seersucker? I’m on the hunt for a good seersucker blazer (and maybe even a suit…trying to realize my Brooks Brothers Country Club dream and all ;)…) but BR is always changing its fit so I am scared to order…
Hey! Th BR blazer is from the outlet. I purchased it Summer 2011.
I love the Petal Tank Top. The top is feminine and pretty.
