Trip to the Museum

Bag - Forever 21

Wednesday Zachary and I went to the Birmingham Museum of Art. I had to find a sculpture to write a paper on for my sculpting class. The museum is twice as big as I thought it would be and we could have spent two more hours in there. After spending two hours in the museum, there were still about 20 rooms we didn't visit.

I decided that cute comfort was needed if I was going to be walking around in a chilly museum and exploring the sculpture garden out side. This outfit was perfect for this day. Basically everything in this outfit has either been seen on  here before, or it was thrifted except for my bag. It was from Forever 21 last summer. 

Anyways, if anyone is in Birmingham and you have a chance to go by the museum. It's free to get in and completely worth the two dollars for parking that you pay at the local parking deck. They even have a cute restaurant inside and they have exhibits that change out.

I went to a random wedding.

Today I attended Zach's cousins wedding who married one of his good friends. It was so random because I didn't even know about it until last night. So when he said "Do you want to go to a wedding tomorrow?" I automatically started scheming up my outfit.

This little number was perfect. Since it was freezing while we were shooting, I could only manage one photo of the lace on the dress. After that I quickly put my jacket back on. Once we got inside the church it was warm enough to go without it. 

It's been a little over three weeks since I had my breast reduction surgery (I will be writing a post on the surgery very soon), and I am proud to say that this is the first backless or "see through back" dress I have ever been able to wear. I loved it. I felt elegant and sexy for the first time.

My dress and the jacket were both thrift finds. The velvet headband is from American Apparel, but I only paid $1.00 for it with the tags still on it at my all time favorite store, Unclaimed Baggage. The boots were also from Unclaimed. Have I mentioned how much I love that place?

                     

Little town, it's a quiet village

There is a tiny town in the middle of no where called Gorham's Bluff. It's a little community complete with their own post office on the top of a mountain with about 25 unique quant houses. Since my boyfriend, Zach, lives about five minutes from it, we decided to have todays shoot there.

This outfit is made up of so many thrifty finds I don't even know where to begin. My sweater is actually a mens sweater I found at a local treasure shop called Unclaimed Baggage. My shoes, scarf, purse, leggings and jewelry all came from the same store.

The hat is way too old to even begin to figure out where it came from. It's just always been lying around the house. I thought it was my great grandfathers, but my mom says it's my brothers and my dad said it was my uncles, and my brother doesn't even know where it came from, so oh well.

This entire outfit probably cost around $40.00. Thank you Unclaimed Baggage.

CHICTOPIA

I just freaked out a little. My outfit post made it to the front of the CHICTOPIA page today! I think that it possible made my day. I needed something good to happen because this head ache of mine doesn't seem to want to go away. Well, I hope everyone is having as good of a day as me! WEEEEE!!!

Stepping on Nuts.

Dress-ASOS

Jacket-ZARA

Shoes-JEFFREY CAMPBELL

I have had a LOOKBOOK account for almost 3 years now and I've never had an outfit post I've been proud of until now. I'm still not 100% happy with it because our lighting was terrible, but it's a good step up from what I've had in the past. I barely posted looks because I never had a tripod or anyone to take my photo. And when I would get someone to take it for me I felt awkward which as a result, gave me awkward photos. Now that I am a photographer and my boyfriend has also gotten into taking photos with me. We have photographed lots of sessions together, from weddings to babies. So now we can go out and take the kind of photographs I've always wanted to have. I don't feel awkward around him, so it kinda just works. Look forward to seeing more of what is hanging in my closet.
