Ann Taylor: Silk/Cotton/Cashmere Sweater

I know that this sweater from Ann Taylor doesn't look a lot different from the sweater I just posted but it's the finer details that make it just different enough for me to have to list it. The sleeves are a bit shorter, which is more ideal for my photogs down south. They also have a bit of a puff to them which makes the Anne of Green Gables lover in me die in delight. (sidenote: RIP Aunt Hetty from Road to Avonlea - such a heartbreaker!)

Cost: $29.99

Ann Taylor: Scoopneck Sweater

I am sure I'm not the only woman out there that HATES her upper arms. Well, like most women I hate my entire body but that's a subject for a different day. LOL. I love elbow length tops because they are SO flattering to the upper arms, even if you hate them as I do. This sweater from Ann Taylor caught my eye due to the flattering cut and sleeve length. It's a simple lightweight sweater that can easily be worn in fall and winter. The other colors are also pretty and I'm picking a few up!

Cost: $39.99

Ann Taylor: Tee with Grosgrain Bow



It's been another long break in blogging but if you are a photographer you know how busy this time of the year can be! September-beginning of October is my busiest time of the year and it's been crazy!

This top from Ann Taylor caught my eye because it has delicate detailing but isn't over the top. I think this could easily slip into my wedding wardrobe space in the closet and yet it still could be worn during the week too. Win!

Cost: $29.95

The Limited: Overt Ruffle Cardigan



I apologize for my lack in posting as of late. It's been a busy summer full of weddings and it's been that awkward season in stores between summer and winter where new clothes aren't being released until closer to school coming back in session. I also admit that right now I don't want to look at anything relating to chunky sweaters as it's been crazy hot here in Ohio this summer! However I took a spin around the web today and this beauty caught my eye.

This cardigan from The Limited is perfect for those in between months from summer to winter. It's short sleeved and open front so that it's not quite as warm but still warm enough to keep you from getting chilled if shooting in a cool reception or outside at night. I love the ruffle detailing around the edge that isn't overly done.

Cost: $59.50

Shabby Apple Groupon

While the clothes are a smidge too frilly for working weddings, the clothes at Shabby Apple are just too darn cute to not promote here, the HUGE bonus is that today on Cleveland's Groupon you can get a $100 voucher for $40!!!! Not only are their dresses modest, but they also have maternity too! WOOT!

What I Wear: Merona Scoop Neck Dress



Readers, I have a confession to make... I wore a dress to shoot in, despite swearing I'd never do it. We've had some crazy high temperatures here in Ohio the past few weeks - and even before we were in the upper 80's to 90's we've had some humidity that is just unbearable. So unbearable that in fact that even wearing my beloved gauchos seemed impossible. I had just got this dress from Target and thought well heck, I'll try it. While there were definitely times I wished I had on pants, I have to confess that it was VERY comfortable to shoot in and cool! I thought about wearing shorts beneath them but that'd kind of defeat the point of wearing a dress by adding more layers. While I don't think this will always be a go-to outfit, I must admit that I felt more professional being in a dress. These dresses are sold out online but you can still find them in some Target stores. I have this dress in coral, brown AND black - that's how much I love it. VERY comfy and you can still wear a normal bra with it which is a huge selling point for me. It can also easily be worn in the colder months with a cardigan!

If this is something that appeals to you, keep your eye out at your local Target as I HIGHLY recommend this dress!!!
