Flash Pt. II

Shirt: Thrifted; Skirt: Thrifted; Bag: Thrifted; Bowtie: Walgreen's

Sometimes you have an outfit you'd really like documented, but the daylight has already gone away because you spent the evening hours after work getting your car towed and having ice cream for dinner, so you resort to flash in your run-down, semi-haradous, not-usable-in-any-form garage. 

You still think the world deserves to see this genius ensemble you've created (massive amounts of self-deprecation and sarcasm here, folks. Just to be clear.) so you put the photos up for everyone to see anyway, despite not being the biggest fan of flash. You shrug and mutter "whatever" through the side of a slanted mouth, while giving yourself the side-eye, and hope you will get some sort of a free pass because you're still learning and the first batch wasn't too shabby (just sayin').

This bow tie is a $5 hair clip from Walgreen's.
Also, I was wearing these shoes.

That's all! : )

Flashin' Lights

On Sunday night, Matt and I decided to see what came of nighttime outfit photos, as we weren't able to take any during the day. I'll preface the photos by saying that flash is not my favorite in almost every situation, but I wanted to give it a go. Here are the results of our experiment:

Shirt: Thrifted; Skirt: Vintage; Shoes: tuto 

This skirt is one of my favorite thrifted finds. I picked it up in Cape Girardeau, intending to sell it once back in Columbia; but once I got a closer look at it, I fell in love and vowed to squeeze into it one day. Lo and behold, it fits now! If, you know, I wear it at my rib cage ; ).

I probably won't be doing the flash again, unless out of necessity; as was the case here. But it was fun to try it out! What do you think? Any tips for nighttime photography or exposure settings? 

Until next time! Thanks for reading my nonsense!
