Usually I don't take outfit pictures on work days. Often it's just too busy to fit it in. Then, in the summer, it was too bright outside for nice photo, and too hot outside to be wearing my work get-up any longer than necessary. Also, this outfit is on the casual side for my job, so I will actually wear it the rest of the day. My normal work attire involves blazers and pencil skirts and higher heels and things that require dry cleaning. It all comes off the minute I walk through the door into my house. (And something else goes on, of course. I'm not THAT casual at my house).
I wore the scarf this morning when it was cooler. Right now I left it off to show this necklace I adore that I picked up at a consignment store a couple years ago.
As for Jax, his shirt is too big and his pants are too short. I put him in nicer slacks for church, but the rest of the week I usually keep in him soft pants. It's too hard to get those stiff pants on and off all day long for diaper changes.
Although I've been ready to get back into outfit photos a couple weeks ago, I was at a loss about what to photograph. It was cool in the mornings, and crazy hot in the afternoons. We sometimes only matched a portion of the day, since we don't have enough coordinating sweatshirts to pull off a total match. In the mornings I often wore sweat pants or yoga pants with a light sweater until it got hot enough to change into a tank and shorts. In the morning the light was best for photos, but that wasn't our "real" outfit. It was hard enough to figure out how to dress for a forty-degree midday temperature swing, and keep changing us in and out of layers all day long, let alone photograph it. I know I'm cheating, but I'm allowed to break my own rules.
This week, it's actually been cold enough all day long (50's to 60's), that we can stay in a single outfit the entire day. What a relief.
And I can start taking some pictures again. Because it won't be long before our outfit photos will look exactly the same day after day after day. Because it will be too cold outside to wear anything except a floor-length coat, beanie, and fur muff. The rest of our outfits will stay hidden under our artic apparel anytime we're outdoors. You'd think we lived in Chicago or something.
But no, we're just Southern chickens who wear cardigans at 72 degrees and thermal underwear at 50.
