I don’t know if I have the nerve for leather on leather, but leather with coated denim-sure! Especially when the edginess is broken up with super soft cashmere and a denim shirt. Not that I’m shy about going more edgy! I actually feel more comfortable going that route than preppy, so this was my way of mixing in a little preppiness and still feeling like me. I’m sure some people might wonder where the preppiness is, but for me…a button up denim shirt that’s not a “jacket” with a cashmere scarf = preppy. It’s about as far as I can go in my comfort zone. Preppy is one of those styles I LOVE to look at, but don’t feel comfortable wearing. I’m sure we ALL can relate (in one form of fashion!) Maybe it’s all my years in corporate banking that I never really felt comfortable in…hmmm…
I took these really quick one day while Maya was in school, so another “just me” post, which feels so weird.
I took these before I had discovered my shutter release and was trying to capture a walking shot with the self timer. It didn’t go as planned 😉
I had this thought that if I actually did my hair and Maya wasn’t with me, I might try and take a “head shot” for myself.
Nope, this won’t be it. But…it’s filler, since I only took a handful of shots haha. 🙂

On me…
Keeping it Real…
I took these in approximately 3 minutes and 46 seconds. Ok, not so approximately haha 😉
It was cold, and I felt like a total nerd by myself, so…GET IT DONE (love looking back on my camera’s time stamp)!
But, totally a keeping it real for people that think it takes a ton of time to do this. YES, it does if you don’t have a process or want a LOT of variety, BUT…it can be done quickly. If you are alone. Throw a child into the mix, and anything goes… 😉
