On a Higher Level
Worn: April 6, 2013
Lynn shared with me recently that she wished I was taller than her. Frolicon was coming up, and what is Frolicon about if not fulfilling dreams? I stopped by a thrift store on my way to pick her up for the con and found a pair of cute four inch heels to add to the day's outfit. I had her stammering on and off all evening. I wasn't sure I'd be able to walk any significant distance in them when I bought them, but they are actually more comfortable than most two inch heels I've tried.
This is my first photoshoot with my new Canon EOS Rebel T4i.

The Rejected Outfit
Worn: March 24, 2013
This is what I intended to wear to meet Lynn's parents back at New Year's, a more subdued version of my Christmas outfit. I really like it.
I've been having a lot of trouble getting decent outfit pictures with my little Sony Cybershot T5. The past four photoshoots have not contained any useable images, causing an unanticipated hiatus. But I've gotten enough use out of it to confirm that having a personal style blog is feasible for me, so I can justify getting a better camera.

Same Outfit, Different Season
Worn: January 6, 2013
This is the winter of version of an outfit I wore back in October. Finding a hat in a similar pattern to the skirt was a lucky accident this past February. The trick now is to remember I have the hat when I wear the outfit.

Meeting the Folks
Worn: December 30, 2012
I wore this to meet Lynn's parents. I had originally planned to use some of the pieces from my Christmas outfit, but Lynn thought that her parents would be scandalized by my red tights. She judged this one outfit to be more conservative and appropriate.
