Polar Opposities

12.15.10

First and foremost, I want to say that this is my first attempt at taking outfit photos by myself. I am pleased to say that I think it worked out fairly well, but I definitely missed my lovely photographer.

Anyways, yesterday afternoon was chilly, overcast, and all kinds of beautiful. The snow kept my toes cold, but made for an amazing backdrop for all of my photos. In Phoenix I never have the chance to get a full winter experience, and I would have to say yesterday definitely made up for the lack of cooler weather we’ve been experiencing at home. By the way, I now officially love the snow and all the nostalgia it brings!
Jacket: Banana Republic
Scarf: Gift from my mom

Multi-color warm socks: Target

I took these photos on the side of the hotel that we are staying at for the week. The red and orange colored trees that lined the hotel were melting my heart, and were such a nice pop of color for my eyes against all the pretty white snow.

I thought this path would be the perfect place to take photos, a place where I wouldn’t have to stop for passersby (or feel awkward because I was taking photos of myself), but alas, about ten people or so walked by in the beginning of my shoot. I’m pretty sure I heard an older man said he was going to try and not knock over my tripod (oh my).
(because Carly said she likes it when you can see my teeth haha)
I bought these socks before I left. They are extra thick and have proved to be a great purchase. I have a pair of solid brown ones that I am sure I will be wearing very soon as well.


I had a lot of fun playing in the snoq. I wish I had Scott there with me though. I would have thrown a huge snowball at him and made him make a snow angel with me :]

Today is my dad’s surgery, but since are hotel is very close to the hospital I am sure I will be able to take some time and snap a few outfit photos. I definitely thinking a pair of tights, a warmer coat, and some boots are in order for this chilly day.
How do you dress for the cold?
