going out on a limb

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

I'm doing something a little different today (no, I'm not talking about ACTUALLY blogging). I'm doing a post about fashion featuring me! (Yikes) I'm not sure if these kinds of posts are really my jam (mostly because I am an awkward model) but I met a new friend (Shannon) who is a ball of fun and convinced me we should get out and do a shoot. So we snapped photos of each other atop a parking lot, like normal people do.

It's refreshing to meet someone new that you instantly feel friends with. I mean this girl is from IDAHO. I think we both knew we could be soul sistas after that. So without further adu...... blackdress_04blackdress_01blackdress_03 blouse: f21, skirt: target, tights: H&M, booties: shoemint

This look is the ultimate safe look. Black is the way to go if you want to look good without taking a risk. Its also fun because you can spice things up with something as simple as a sequin collar or polka dot tights.

ps. Don't forget to check out my look for less over on Say Yes to Hoboken.

  5. where did you find the blouse? I like it! My fiance wants a collar like that for her birthday; what are they called again? Do you know where I could find one for relatively cheap?

    1. Justin! Yes! It's called a peter pan collar. I got mine at Forever 21. They have LOTS of peter pan blouses right now and they are usually between $15-$22. Good luck! Also congrats on the engagement!

  6. Ash I just saw this! LOVE LOVE LOVE. You are GORGE lady! I second Elyse's suggestion: we MUST do this regularly! Either that or I might just fall into a deep deep depression and shave my head Britney Spears style, and I'd have you to blame for it. So I guess you decide. ;)
    xoxo,
