Feeling Blustery

So remember when I talked about trying to cheer myself up when I’m feeling blah?  These photos were taken on one of those days.  It all started with me trying to wear these navy Merona/Target tights I picked up a few weeks ago.  They were on sale and they felt like good quality (they’re from the Premium line).  I had been wanting navy tights so I bought them.  Also, people seem to like the tights at Target a lot.

I bought S/M because my height and weight put me firmly in that size, but I definitely should have bought M/L or just gone with We Love Colors.  If you have a small waist I highly recommend them, the Merona tights should work perfectly for you.  And I will say that they’re good quality because they’re thick and feel like they would hold up well.  But if I want to wear them I’ll have fit some Spanx underneath.

Anyway, I was feeling blahhhhh raaarrrr these are too small but just want to wear my navy tights!  But I decided to change them out for black opaques, my favorites.  And then I said to myself: self, this is nothing you can’t fix by pulling your Rodarte for Target dress and some three inch heels.  Who cares if you’ll be sleeveless in 34 degree weather, you’re the only one that might be cold.  And then out into the blustery weather I went.  I had to take photos, of course.

And when I came back in I had a few spoonfulls of almond butter and a raw Pillsbury Valentine’s cookie just for good measure.

And I certainly felt a bit more cheery.

That last photo is almost normal.  The rest are totally windblown!

If you hadn’t noticed, it’s black and white week here at alex elizabeth.  I just got up one day and decided to filter my photos in black and white… and maybe one in color!  I’m on some kind of fun with filters kick because I’ve been playing around with Poladriod too — that’s up next!  

This is another resurrected look (from January 28, 2010 in fact) and my photos still generally look the same… well, maybe there’s been a slight improvement.  I’ve been shopping for a new camera for a while but I think I’m going to have to find a camera store and fiddle with them in person.  My father just got a new camera and I do not like it — too cumbersome — so since I want a giant DSLR it would probably be better that I go and actually look at some cameras not on a computer screen.  I’ll be missing my touch screen, I don’t think DSLRs have them.  I literally don’t know what to do with buttons on a camera any more, they just confuse me and I keep pushing the screen!  I guess people feel the same way about my camera though, it freaks people out because it doesn’t have buttons!
