The Happy Days Dress ~ Outfit Four

I. Love. This. Dress.   I didn’t try it on when I bought it, I just knew somehow that it would look good.  So I took it home and the first I time I saw it on me, I knew this dress and I were kindred spirits.  Ever had a piece of clothing that you put on and it just makes you so unreasonably, ecstatically happy for no apparent reason at all?  Well, that’s how I feel wearing this dress!  I have had to restrain myself from pulling it out of the closet and wearing it every day this week…  =.=’

It’s RTW so that would be crime in many vintage fashion ladies’ books, but I’m not sorry, or repentant.   I liked this dress too much not to take it home with me  and it turns out I was right!

 

 

 

 

 

 

                

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My DH took the photos this time ~ he’s got a good eye behind the camera and gets some nice shots.  That’s his leg in left hand corner of the ‘shoe shot’.  So who knows?  If he is agreeable I might have two photographers to help me.  Although DH doesn’t help me with the poses like Jay does ~ I have to think of them all on my lonesome. 

Cardigan ~ SES

Dress ~ SES                  

Skirt under dress ~ Tightrope {yes, the black band with the lace at the bottom is actually the skirt I wore for the ‘Alice"’ outfit, but inside out.   I don’t like my dresses or skirts to be much above the knee.}

Tights ~ SES

Shoes ~ Thrifted {$5.00, how awesome is that??  I love these shoes, and it’s another case of restraining myself not over kill with them.}

Accessories ~ Rose earrings    {Diva}

                             Belt  {Ice}

                            Ring with brooch on top  {Diva}

Does anyone else find it really awkward to pose when someone else is there with you?   I can do poses easily by myself… Maybe I need a remote for my new camera so I can snap away! 

Mind you, in some respects it’d be easier just to get over the awkwardness and deal with having someone else there.  Because that way I don’t have to take a million shots just to find a few good ones.

Hmm.  Dilemma.  The other thing is that I do like to direct the shots ~ the angle of the background, the amount of zoom and all of that.  It’s hard to do that when you are not the one taking the photo!  Maybe I need to try both ways?  Maybe I’ll try the remote when I get my new camera.  Maybe.  I might be too lazy to both with it when I have got willing helpers.  : )
