Denim Days of Summer



The heat is high here in Nashville. With the high still in the 90s every day, the forecast is calling for rain all the way through Friday. What a buzzkill, right? Well it's not like I spend too much time in that sunlight anyway (and my pasty white legs tell no lies! They just look tan here... a tan might be nice!) These photos were shot in an abandoned retail spot in my hometown. They tore down the shop years ago but have since just boarded up one side. Pigeons seem to be the only residents (and yes, all of that stuff on the ground is pigeon poo! Ew! ha) We couldn't pass up the awesome backdrop though. We shot several outfits here (all on different parts) and I'm still enamored with the way they turned out. 



This dress was originally purchased at Macy's way back when. I have only one other outfit post of me wearing it but I opted for my trusty ol' H&M cardi this go around (don't worry, I have two of this cardigan so I don't wear the same one day after day! I just really love the print!) I kept it simple with my favorite white thrifted belt and my tried-and-true Blowfish flats. I'm a creature of habit, what can I say?




Georgia went to the vet early this morning and will be having her Cortisol tests run. (We accidentally missed Thursday's appointment!) Keep her in your thoughts please! The rest of today will be used to work on shoppe photos and hack out some business budgets! I'll be sharing my new plan with you soon! Sneak back over this way later for a little post I've been working on! xo

  2. Hmmm ... you know, if you hadn't mentioned the pigeon poop I wouldn't have noticed (I'm observant like that!). But yes, awesome backdrop ...

    PS heading off to ebay now to check out iPhone covers. Thanks for the tip.

  7. Hey! Not sure if reading your blog has influenced me somehow, but as I've been lately trying to get into portrait photographing, whenever I pass some old abandoned place/warehouse/stuff like that, I suddenly think what a great photoshooting location it would make! haha

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for Georgia! :)

  8. That backdrop is great! I love that dress too. I wish I could find cute dresses and skirts in my size that don't cost an arm and a leg. I'd live in dresses if I could!!!

    I told my boyfriend your phone case makes me wish I had an iPhone!

  15. hey, that denim skirt looks awesome, and the abandoned store is crazy

    also, have you thought about putting the music player at the start of your post? that way people could start listening to the song as they're reading your post, instead of waiting towards the end (where I usually close the tab when I'm done reading). just a thought :)

  23. I have that dress! I literally just bought it at rugged Warehouse last week on clearance for $7 and have worn in way too many days in a row. I love the ruffled sleeves! You should have shown those off in this post. I just feel like I should have a Mason jar in my hand while wearing it. It's like a girly updated take on the old shapeless blue jean jumpers my mom used to wear to church.
