SOME THOUGHTS TODAY…
Having a photographer boyfriend (who doesn’t take my pics, btw…I feel quite strongly about doing everything myself), I’ve become much more aware of the images I am shooting, how I am editing them and what ones I share. I am so far from being a skillful photographer and editor – I’m constantly working at that, trying to improve it, trying to give an honest depiction of myself and what I’m wearing, while also creating a striking image with bright, vibrant colours. It’s hard, to say the least. I have taught myself everything, all on my own up until this point. But now I have someone who can give me feedback and explain why something works and why it doesn’t, how to create the best possible image…if you are looking for a technically perfect image, that is. This is where I find photography to be so subjective. Because what I may think is a beautiful image may look absolutely flawed to someone else’s eye. Does a technically perfect image make the best picture? And if not, what does make the best picture? Do we feel cheated when an image is clearly over-saturated and over-exposed? Do we think the blogger is being dishonest and trying to deceive us? Or are they just working with what skill they have and what they think makes a good image? It’s hard to say. I like pictures that create a feeling more than something that looks absolutely perfect (if I’m being honest, I don’t know what is perfect in photography). But, I can absolutely feel moved by both. Anyways, I don’t have answers for any of these questions. As in all art (and beauty), it’s in the eye of the beholder, I believe. I feel incredibly lucky to have such a talented person at my disposal; I see myself improving day by day, gaining knowledge, while also becoming aware of what I think makes a good image. It’s important to always maintain your voice, even if others tend to disagree with it, but being open to change and growth is never a bad thing.
– WHAT I WORE –
Blouse, Cardigan, Coat, Shoes: thrifted | Skirt & Hat: Common Sort | Tights & Gloves: H&M | Bow tie: handmade
BRRR!
Over the weekend I went through my closet, sorted and photographed the clothes I am willing to part ways with and list on my 
Sunday was a day that started out pretty ordinary and ended in a cabin in Schomberg with no running water or electricity. 
Sweater: thrited | Skirt: 
It actually feels like winter now, so having a scarf wrapped around my neck is an absolute necessity. I wear my scarf many a ways, depending on the strength of wind and chill in the air, so I figured I’d show you those ways, and maybe you’ll learn something new (or you won’t) and you can let me know how you like to style your scarf. You guys seemed to really take to this scarf on 
Do The Wrap Around: A favourite. Just wrap around the neck; you can let your end pieces hang evenly, or maybe one longer than the other, like 
Shawl We: When it’s real blustery out it’s sometimes nice to treat your scarf as a shawl/blanket (that’s if you have a massive – ie., Lenny Kravitz – scarf like this); just drape over your shoulders and pretend your bed is spending the day with you.
Great Ascot!: I don’t do this one often, but if it’s real windy, you can be sure this style will keep the scarf on your neck; just pull one end of your scarf through, just the way you would tying a shoe lace to create this ascot-y vibe.
Don Draper: Well, an obvious one I guess, but a one no less. Just wrap and drape one end over the shoulder. This look is smart, but slightly annoying on a windy day.
Bubble Bubble Cowl and Trouble: I like this one a lot; it looks good, it’s easy to do and it keeps your neck warm (not to mention it feels like a neck pillow). Just fold your scarf in half, place along the back of your neck and pull the loose ends through the loop.
okay andie
