Salutations! I guess I’m just into the vintage look/old looking photo look right now. Probably has something to do with me working on the blog layout a little more. I thought it was loading too slowly so I made a few adjustments. If anything crazy goes down with the CSS in the next couple don’t worry, I’ll fix it!
I got two new belts at the LOFT 40% off sale! I love buying belts when they have huge sales like that. This is one of them. I intended to wear it with the LOFT safari dress (and with other things too of course) but the dress didn’t fit me at all. Petites were too tight through the chest and shoulder and I ended up swimming in regular sizes. Sigh. I really like that dress.
I’ve fallen behind on posts again, which means I’ll be posting through the weekend, tomorrow as well. If you’re not out playing in the snow (or sun, lucky things) pop by the blog tomorrow!
Love,
Alex
Old rainforest umbrella, Francesca’s Collections open cardigan, BCBG dress, LOFT belt, Assets by Sara Blakely tights, J.Crew wellingtons, vintage Coach bag.
Totally into the ruffles, collar and hood spilling out.
Definitely love the new belt, and crazy sales of course.
I hate it when something I love doesn’t work out and I have to talk myself out of buying it any way. (because I will want to and insist I’ll somehow make it work)
Ugh, I know, I was thinking like maybe I could have one altered… but considering that my alterations pile has been sitting in the same spot for at least four months the chances of it are not good! So sad about the dress :( Regular Ann Taylor has one too but it’s at least $80 more.
I love the vintage look to your photos that you’ve been trying out. I’m trying to figure out a way to do that with the program I use. We’ll have to see if that works.
So sorry about the LOFT dress! Clothes can be so fickle sometimes. The belt is great, though!
Try the polarize function if there is one? And maybe a semi-transparent brown overlay… I don’t know if you can do that in Picasa though, I never tried. You can always fiddle around with Poladroid (http://www.poladroid.net/) too, it’s a free app and you can crop the polaroid-ness out, leaving just the vintage looking photo?
Sweet! I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for the info!
