Windswept

As much fun as style blogging can be, one of the more stressful parts would definitely be the temperamental weather during the winter months; four years into this outfit shooting thing and I still haven’t quite figured out a good way around it. Last Saturday, we set out in the morning to scout for a location, and after driving around town for far too long and finally finding a spot we were happy with… it promptly started to rain. Of course. Then came the heavy winds. And it was cold. All in all, not exactly an ideal situation for white jeans and calf hair shoes. Luckily, thanks to a very creative and patient photographer, it actually ended up making for some pretty cool shots (check out my hair!). And while it seems a little strange to say, over the years the dilemma has actually taught me quite a bit about rolling with the punches and letting go of things that I can’t control… especially since I now know that it can produce unexpectedly good results.
