outfit post: pink and red

As you might have guessed from the title of this post...I decided to do a Valentine's Day inspired outfit.  Cheesy?  Yes.  Do I care?  Nope.

The thing is...no matter what you think about Valentine's Day, it always results in sales on chocolates.  And that counts for a huge win in my book.

Anyway, I chose to go with maroon tights, a pink lace shift dress, and a navy blazer to help give the outfit some structure.  I love a good shift dress, but sometimes your shape can get a bit lost in it.  Since it's also Winter here....that's another good reason to add layers!

Also, I've fallen in love with Revlon's Black Cherry lipstick.  It's a lovely dark, vampy red that I think is perfect for Winter!

little red.

Whenever Kesley and I have a reunion, we try to organize an inspiration photoshoot - last year, we did this photoshoot around records + feathers. This year, Kelsey brought this gorgeous red cape with her and we did a portrait session inspired by Little Red. It was the perfect day - windy, snowy, -25 degrees, really... it couldn't have been more perfect ;)  And Kelsey totally braved Edmonton's cold weather like a champ while looking absolutely stunning! This girl is seriously my favourite person to photograph, it's not even fair how photogenic she is and I love her to pieces! So enjoy this Christmas present and for the full post, head on over to my photography blog :)

Merry Christmas!

outfit post: vintage floral skirt

Jordyn found this gem of a skirt in a vintage thrift shop in downtown Abby, and I'm kind of insanely jealous of it.  It's high-waisted, floral, and overall just lovely.  Let's just say that I'll probably be attempting to "steal" it from her in the near future.

I also would like to think that I had a bit of influence in the styling of this skirt...since Jordyn decided to pair it with a delicate lace top, and a simple grey cardigan.  Definitely something I would do.  I think my style suggestions are slowly being absorbed by her brain!  Resistance is futile.

outfit post: plaid over a chambray dress

This outfit was definitely inspired by the plaid shirt over wedding dress fad that's been going around pinterest for a while now.  I think it's beautiful and quirky, and perfect for a farm girl getting married.  I chose to layer a classic red and black plaid shirt over a chambray and lace dress.  I loved the contrast of the lacy, feminine dress with the cozy, farm girl plaid!  Knee high socks and boots were added to keep me a bit warmer, and helped make this outfit perfect for  Fall!

The apples surrounding me are the last apples we have in the field, and are a late variety of Pink Lady apples.  They're just about ready to pick...finally!  Although they did provide a lovely backdrop for these photos.

outfit post: a polka dot trench and yellow fall leaves

Now, Jordyn loves dressing up in "subtle" costumes all the time, and constantly looks for inspiration from storybook characters, comics, and tv shows.  She's hilarious like that.

This outfit is one that I (Kelsey) picked out for her, and I called it her subtle superman outfit!  It's super subtle, since the only thing they have in common are colours....but I tried.

Anyways, I'm incredibly jealous of this polka dot trench coat, and seriously wish we were the same size!  I thought it'd be fun to have some crazy pops of colour, and was delighted when it all came together nicely.  I've been trying to pair different colours and patterns together lately, since I tend to just box myself in with how I wear certain items of clothing.  I know Jordyn was surprised that this outfit worked out, and we were both happy it did.

We're kind of wishing that these gorgeous Fall leaves could just stay all Winter....please?
