// Silhouette + Suede



Do y'all know how difficult it is to focus a camera when it's snowing? Surprisingly hard! haha Over half of the photos we had from this outfit were out of focus due to one tiny little snowflake falling in front of me. This outfit is one that I actually wore when it was not snowing, but we didn't have time to photograph it so we finally shot a few outfits over the weekend (That's probably like cheating in the fashion blogging world...). It makes it look like Tennessee gets way more snow than we actually do. I picked up this dress at Charlotte Russe the other weekend when Mike and I killed some time at Opry Mills. I loved the black floral silhouette against the cream fabric. I decided to pair it with my new Jeffrey Campbell "Dina" boots (with a clear acrylic heel! Click here for a better picture!) Probably not the best idea to wear suede shoes in the snow, but it was only for a minute on the deck haha (Peep the shoe print it leaves down at the bottom of the post! So fun!) The shoes are insanely comfortable and so easy to walk in, too!

As Mike was shooting the "details" of this outfit, I worked up a little snowball and let it fly. I had no idea I had such good aim, but he was definitely caught off guard. (Don't worry, he retaliated) I couldn't help but snap a couple of extra pictures of the snow around the yard, too. It's such a rare treat here that I needed to really capture the moment ha. The holly bush off of our front porch looks so pretty with the snow, but that thing will catch you off guard if you're not paying attention! Sharp! // Today Mike and I are trying to lay out a daily schedule for work, and we're wrangling up dozens (and dozens!) of items to  upload to Kaelah's Closet. Question: Would you (as a buyer) prefer us to list it on an e-commerce site or flash sale on Instagram? I polled some friends on Twitter and it seems most are requesting e-commerce shop. 


I'm working on tomorrow's TiLT post today, so if you have written or read anything awesome lately, I'd love for you to leave a link in the comments! (Of course I'll credit you if it makes the cut!) I feel like the past couple of weeks have been so boring for us (and probably for you as an LCH reader haha) We haven't quite found our groove yet in our new surroundings so we're trying to get our mojo back. This weekend we'll be scouting a location in Brentwood for an engagement shoot we have coming up. We're so excited to be back in the saddle with photo work. It feels so rewarding when we get our film processed. I know we'll get to work with so many amazing couples and families this year! If you're in the market for any photography this coming season, give us a shout!

  1. Such a cute outfit as always! Those shoes are absolutely divine! We were hit by a blizzard last week here in the Texas panhandle. I'm a big fan of sunshine, but the snow is very pretty to photograph.

  2. this week i stood up to the man, defending real girls against the embarassment and shame that fashion bloggers leave us with when the clothes just DON'T FIT!

    then i told them what i thought of them.

  4. I love that dress! And the whole outfit, really. :) You're right, those shoe prints are fun.

    Regarding your shop your closet, I think some sort of e-commerce site is more user-friendly. Probably more seller-friendly, too, so you get payments right away and don't have to keep track of what has sold and who commented first to snag it.

  5. Love your outfit and all the beautiful pictures of snow!!! I'm so used to snow (wisconsinite turned bostonian here...) that I imagine it must be fun to have it be a novelty instead of a chore! sounds like a fun afternoon. :] well, one thing that I'm doing in my roundup post is having this excellent post about hating on stuff from patrick stump (singer from fall out boy): http://www.patrickstump.com/post/44510358342/hey-dont-you-just-hate-that-every-thing
    have a great day!

  6. I'd prefer an e-commerce site. I've never figured out instagram sales; they confuse me.

  19. I'm so jealous of that snow; it keeps getting cold here as if it might snow, but then it just rains and everything gets gross and soggy.
    I love your outfit! I'd steal that dress in a heartbeat! So pretty!
    And taking pictures of a few different outfits in one day is a great idea. I need to do that!

  30. I love this outfit and your shoes! So fun!

    I've managed to get spots on my only pair of suede shoes - twice! Luckily working at a shoe store has it's perks and one of my co-workers was able to clean 'em up for me. Suede is gorgeous but so much harder to care for than leather!

    I can't wait to see what you list in your closet sale! I just adore the dress I got last time, and would love to snatch up some more cute things!

  32. I personall don't get instagram shops - they seem to be a pain. And kind of weird. It just doesn't seem like the right platform for selling, yknow? Anyhow, I'm going to have to check it out either way! And these heels! EEE!! How amazing are they? So perfect for you. And this dress is stunning as well.

  33. I think an e-commerce site is the way to go. Istagram sales are always intimidating to me. I have bought things from them before but I think you will have more success with the e-commerce route. People are more familiar with that...I would think...thus more inclined to buy.

  34. i love your dress! i've heard before how comfortable JC's are - i'm dying to buy a pair!
