My Lack of Photography Skills

Now that the sun isn’t going down until around 7:30, taking outfit pictures is getting pretty difficult. I never seem to have time in the mornings before I leave, so I usually take pictures right when I get home. Depending on the day of the week, that’s usually between 3 and 6, when the sun is bright and shining. I never knew this until I started taking my picture every day, but direct sunlight is the worst. So, please excuse the different shades of each photo. At least the wind made everything look cool!

On Wednesday, I wore a dress and necklace from Forever 21, a GAP denim jacket (different from this jacket), and flats from Target.  

 

Boa Tarde Good Afternoon

I was assigned an interesting project in my Portuguese class today. I'm supposed to record an example of Portuguese being spoken here in Austin. I even got to check out an iPod touch to record it with. I think I'm going to put my journalistic skills to use and interview this great Brazilian couple that lives downstairs. We've only spoken a few times, mostly when I'm outside taking outfit photos, but they are always really nice. Still, it will probably be a little awkward when I knock on their door for an interview. Maybe I should bake them some cookies as a bribe to let me in.

I'm looking forward to this project. Now that I think about, I've actually been enjoying most of my work this semester. Why did it take until the end of my college career for the classes to get interesting?

On Tuesday, I wore a GAP dress, a knitted shawl from Cream Vintage, and Moostsies Tootsies sandals from Buffalo Exchange.

My Yoga Guns

I've been practicing yoga for a few months now and it's been a really great experience. It's one of the only forms of exercises that I actually enjoy and look forward to. It's the only time I can shut my mind down and just be for a little while. I get the same kind of feeling when I'm reading a particularly good book. Sometimes, it's nice to escape for a little while.

One of the biggest goals I set for myself when I first started practicing yoga was to gain enough arm strength to do a push-up. I've never been able to do a real one, without using my knees, but guess what???

Now, I can do one!

And I can balance in a headstand! Hell, yeah!

Anyway, enough about my guns and more about my clothing.

On Saturday, I wore an H&M dress from the clothing swap during the Texas Style Council Conference, a Forever 21 purse and, Sam Edelman sandals.
