Fashion Friday: Lace-Collared Teal Dress

For the record, I haven’t always been a fashion enthusiast. About 2 or so years ago, I’d say my fashion sense was fairly non-operational.

However, something changed and I began taking an interest. After some pressure from friends and constantly debating with myself (ie. Serena – hello – isn’t it narcissistic to post photos of yourself in different outfits?!), I made a brave decision: I’ll be posting one favorite outfit, per week, with the hopes to inspire others and share a bit of my style + personality on this blog.

Lately, I’ve had friends asking me for fashion advice. So, after hearing several other days of the week being used for posts (“Tuesday Shoesday,” “Wedding Wednesday,” and “Follow Friday”), I decided that I’d generate my own version of a weekday and start style blogging on “Fashion Friday.”

A huge thanks + shoutout goes to my amazing/wonderful husband, Chad, for snapping these photos. =)

Dress: Causeway / Belt: H&M / Flats: Xhilaration

PS – I’ve added a much-needed Subscribe button to this blog. Somehow, I didn’t realize I’d been lacking one. (Sorry!)

Wendy {Weswen Design} - OMG this is too too cute! Love the flowy skirt :)

Elizabeth Elfrey - I love this outfit, and the way you’ve styled it with the belt and makeup.

Another benefit of blogging your own fashion is that it will give your clients ideas about how different clothes photograph. I’m sure you hear people ask “What should I wear?” before photo shoots, so this helps to see how the clothing translates through the camera.

Amanda C - I LOVE this outfit! :)

Abby Grace - This is adorable! I’m excited about these posts- I have zero fashion sense, so I’m always excited when others share their taste. It’s super helpful!

Kelley - You are simply adorable.

Krista {Bayside Bride} - Love these Serena! We really do need to go shopping together! :)

kelly cummings - I LOVE the outfit! And the lipstick!

And I know what you mean about feeling narcissistic. One day when I bring myself to actually start setting up a tripod (lest trying to convince my friends or husband that it isn’t just a vanity project :), I will photograph my good hair and wardrobe days.

Leah - you have to be the cutest ever.

Kina - Too cute!
