Vintage Advantage

December 1st, 2010

I haven’t done an outfit post in a while and to be honest – I’m not quite sure if you like them.  I just think that because I don’t get many comments about them.  As you can imagine they are very hard to do.  Firstly, I have to feel like having my picture taken (it seems more likely that I would feel like having root canal but having a photographer for a husband and photoshop help).  Secondly, I have to choose an outfit that I like (I mean how impossible is that???)  Then lastly, I have to fight with Jason about how I want it shot.  I am keen for the same-same look but he always wants to do something different, push the envelope, take it up a notch.  Must have something to do with his adventurous nature but, you know, once you find a pose that flatters you then really, why change it?  Here is my uniform these days – give or take the bicycle – striped top, jeans leggings and flats.  An interesting aside I should mention (and this is for my mum who reads this much to my consternation) is that this top was originally my mother’s and is as old as I am.  It is somewhat falling apart but I think it gives it that worn-in rock-and-roll look all the kids are wearing these days.  And it is lucky to have survived because I am one of those girls that systematically and religiously throws things out that I don’t wear or don’t like anymore.  I have never lived in a place with any sort of storage so I need to keep my wardrobe pared back to a minimum.  That is why I am amazed this top has survived any number of ruthless trashing sessions.  I imagine it will be one of those rare pieces of clothing that really will just fall apart.  What pieces of clothing have you owned that you have worn to death?

Strap Yourself In

November 4th, 2010

As wedding photographers we see a lot of wedding photos and, in turn, a lot of wedding dresses.  And by far and away, the most common wedding dress style is the strapless gown.  And you know I am the first one to admit that it does look good and is very feminine and glamorous but is it really comfortable?  I really can’t wear a strapless gown (and find it the most stressful thing to wear FULL STOP) and I am sure many of you would agree.  You spend the whole night grabbing at your dress pulling it up and checking that you are fully covered and when you sit down – man oh man – do those bones stick in!  By the end of the night you just want to cry it hurts so much.  That said and given your wedding is a day when you want to be looking your best maybe you should give something with straps a go.  I have a few options here – and they look just as glamorous and just as feminine but they also look pretty darn comfortable as well.  You have to wear this dress for upwards of 8 hours so you really want to be comfortable and relaxed and happy for the whole time – not just the beginning and only when you are standing up!  Also with all this extra comfort straps can provide you, you can go ahead and slide right into that pair of ravishing ten inch heels!!!!

These dresses are from J. Crew one of my favourite sites to stalk.
