Two reasons why I love this post: it features this kickass floral mini I got in Italy back in 2010, and it shows the absolute imperfection of fashion blogging. What you guys didn't see, was the blaring 100 degree temp that day we shot this (you may have gotten the idea from my furrowed brow/ sweaty mess of hair!) But, I do really minimal photoshopping on this blog (+ fun filters cause why not!) and didn't actually realize how much photoshop plays into fashion blogging until I was well into the practice. Turns out, about 90% of the fashion blog photos/instagrams you see are heavily photoshopped, I'm talking way more than even a Victoria's Secret ad, it's a part of the photography process in most cases. So, while these are slightly tweaked in pattern, I like to keep the editing to a bare minimum—and kept them organic enough to almost have that brutal hot day shine through (literally..).
But honestly, who really cares how I look anyway, because this is all about the clothes, after all. I paired this cute floral Zara minidress with a sweet bandana and Adidas Superstar kicks to edge it up. This is a really great dress-up day look which I love, and I finished it off with an over the shoulder Rebecca Minkoff mini.

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet."
