Hustlin'


I'm back, and with me my totally natural poses I know you missed so much. Sorry I've been so off the radar. I miss you, I do. It's just that life lately can best be described using the genius lyrical stylings of Rick Ross: E'ry day I'm hustlin'. 

Since the move Jonathan and I have found ourselves pretty damn happy. Ready to bite off more than we can chew. Prepared for what the universe has in store for us. We gotta make dat money tho, so I've been SUPER preoccupied pouring myself into practices that allow me to bring home the bacon. Obsessing over my photography website, creating a pet photography website, making facebook pages for said services, shooting my face off, printing business cards, basically being a fucking business woman, don't make a big deal about it. Check it out the site here if you'd like! 

I've also had some luck selling vintage goodies on our Etsy store. This, I've found, at least pays for our thrifting addiction. 

I'm finding myself drawn towards feminine pieces lately. Without fail I come home from a thrift store or a pile sale, and I take out my goodies only to realize I've purchased 8 floral dresses. Like the one I'm wearing here. I think somehow watching Fried Green Tomatoes as a young girl permanently affected my taste in clothing. It also affected my feelings towards Kathy Bates. Which are positive ones. 
TOWANDA!!!
Sweater: 90s Anne Taylor (similar)

  2. Hot damn woman, those are some bad ass shots. (I'm talking about your website and amazing photography skillzzzz). Wow! You have a huge talent for this O_O
    I have a question though, what kind of a program do you use for editing? I'm currently using just Lightroom.
    And, the outfit, is perfect as always. I just love the golden jelwery, the florals and that cozy knitwear. Man, you rock!

    1. Hey Keit!
      Thanks! I use photoshop, but I use a filter set called "Totally Rad Actions" to get the effects melded with my own settings in photoshop. If you google 'totally rad actions' the website will come up! I'm pretty sure they have a set of filters/actions for light room. Check it out! It's so fun to play around with!

Must be amazing doing what you love to do as a job :) loving this outfit so much, I always buy too much floral myself and I honestly still don't know why I never pull a sweater like that over my summer dresses. Must do this soon!
