Here's a little tip for those of you who take your own outfit photos: If your f-stop is set too low and you're not in bright or direct sunlight, your camera might not be able to focus on you. I learned that when taking these pictures. (There was some swearing involved. And I am not a swearing person.) After taking about 100 shots with the f-stop at f/2.0 and having them all turn out blurry, I figured out the problem. So do yourself a favor - if you're shooting on a tripod during the "golden hour" (the hour before sunset), you may need to set your f-stop to at least f/2.5.
Whew! Now that we've got that technical stuff out of the way, on to the outfit! A few months ago I bookmarked a page in a magazine that showed a picture of a chambray shirt with the sleeves rolled up over a striped top, and I've been waiting for an occasion to copy that inspiration ever since! I love that the skirt and top combined actually look like they could be a dress, and I love the casual feel the chambray gives to this outfit.
(This outfit reminds me a lot of one I wore a few weeks ago here. Apparently I also take inspiration from my own outfits as well as magazines!)
