Sharing the pics with more dramatic lighting yesterday reminded me that I’ve still got images from my trip to Nashville last month to share! Like these, which are full of drama!
pop-up portraits with plants, part 1
Earlier this week, I was in New York to do a wholesale pop-up at the Arlo Hotel in Midtown. Because I knew we were setting up on the gorgeous plant-filled terrace (scroll down to see the pics!), I couldn’t resist bringing my camera and tripod to take some portraits with plants!

I still have plenty of images of the black and white dress to share, but today I thought I’d switch gears and share a different look. I didn’t intend for this to be a full-on portrait series (remember when I wondered if there was such a thing as a selfie blogger?) but these pictures just showed off my Contra collection ring so well, I couldn’t resist sharing them all!
in the garden with a burgundy dress and bronze jewelry
I bought this dress on a whim a couple of years ago, and it sat in my closet until this spring when I threw it on to go to a wedding. Since then, I’ve been in love with it. I wore it in the studio to photograph the new bronze Modular Necklaces. And I couldn’t resist wearing it in my backyard one morning to do another round of portraits with plants!
my favorite black and white dress and new gold threader hoop earrings
Last weekend we went camping at the beach (well technically, the bay beach) and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to put on my favorite black and white dress and take a few pictures of my new Verdant Threader Hoop Earrings in 14-kt gold filled.
one dress challenge, day 10: striped dress with midi skirt and black and white dress as duster (plus a nod to the 10×10 challenge)
I decided to repeat the dress from yesterday because A) I never want to take it off! and B) by repeating that dress (plus the skirt from Day 6) then the first 10 days of this month’s one dress challenge also technically count as a 10×10 challenge. (If you don’t count shoes, which I’m not, since I wore the same pair the whole time anyway.)
If you aren’t familiar with it, the 10×10 challenge asks you to chose 10 pieces from your wardrobe and style only those for 10 days. I didn’t start off planning on doing the challenge (as I’ve mentioned here before, I’m not into capsule wardrobes, just creativity within constraints) but I like that I inadvertently ended up doing the challenge. I also looked back at my looks from the last ten days and figure I could probably style another ten looks out of those pieces. (Hmmm, I think another blog post is in my future.)
To mix things up a little from yesterday’s outfit, I opted to layer in a black midi skirt and keep the polka dot dress open so that it functions more like a duster. Plus, I swapped in a different Contra Composition necklace that’s actually a little bolder. (And even though this month’s challenge is all about that striped midi dress, I wouldn’t be surprised if this black and white dress makes at least one more appearance in this challenge. I love it so much!)
one dress challenge, day 9: black and white dress over striped midi dress
Have you ever just put on an outfit and immediately felt like the best version of yourself? That is how I feel about this look!
This black and white dress is another one I recently ordered from Nicobar. It’s actually too small through the waist, so I have it buttoned one button out from where it should be buttoned. The effect on it’s own is a little too red carpet for every day life (hello, plunging neckline and major leg slit) but I absolutely love it layered over April’s dress. (And I’ll be scouring my closet for other dresses to wear under it this spring! And summer! And fall! Because I really love this dress!)
It’s pretty much the perfect blend of everyday fancy and total badass, especially when I added this Contra Composition necklace! Also, sorry, not sorry for all the pics in this post! I was feel so good about this outfit that I had a hard time narrowing down all the pics I took!
one dress challenge, day 8: striped dress over striped dress
I was really feeling the 90s vibes after Saturday’s outfit (where I layered a velvet cami over the striped dress and under a skirt) and I really wanted to keep them going by layering a slip dress over April’s dress. Unfortunately, I don’t own a slip dress. (Something to add to the shopping list.) But what I do have is this striped dress that I recently ordered from one of my favorite Indian brands, Nicobar.
I pretty much plan on living in this dress all summer, (I’m even debating order it in another color), but since it’s too cold to wear it as in right now, I’m happy I can layer it over another dress.
one dress challenge, day 6: velvet cami and midi skirt over striped dress
We’ve had an unusually cold April, but one of the upsides to that is that I can do lots of layering with the one dress challenge without sweating my butt off. Take today’s outfit. I really wanted to layer this velvet cami over the dress (in a nod to the 90s) but didn’t like where the shirt hit me over the dress. So I layered on one of my favorite pieces (a high waisted midi skirt) to create a look that I really love!
one dress challenge, day 4: striped midi dress and floral coat
I’m a little behind on the challenge, because I was hit with a massive headache, but hopefully I’ll get caught back up today! I decided to continue the idea of pattern mixing from Day 3, but this time with this really fabulous coat!
Apparently I really have a thing for this specific shade of yellow, because I bought this coat back in the fall, and it perfectly matches the yellow in this dress!
