Yes, the stereotypical "fashion blogger in the empty field" shot. There are TONS of these empty fields where my husb grew up. That also tells you what kind of town we're in................................and how exciting it is.
I liked the way I belted my belt. And that's a picture of my face.
I almost didn't wear these black flat ankle boots I thrifted a while ago. I imagine them with skinnies but it's too hot to wear anything that suffocating. Because I was blessed with short stubby legs, I opted for an above-the-knee dress to make my legs look longer.
Random trip picture of the day:
Baywalk in Manila, Philippines.
The sunset really was that pink and beautiful! While we were walking around, a couple of older ladies stopped us and commented on how white we were. They were really friendly and I'm pretty sure one of them had a crush on my BIL.

I love the way you tucked and looped your belt, and the straw hat is perfect with this dress!
What a gorgeous sunset!
Haha, I love it. The ubiquitous "shot in the field." :) Where I was born it is just as full of empty fields, I should have totally grabbed a "fashion blogger" moment.
Love you in the blue dress with the belt. Quite sweet and chic.
Nice photos and pose :) Funny story about that picture!! It is really nice over at Manila Bay. I use to go there a lot when I was a kid! I don't remember those lights being there, but I'm sure a lot has changed over the last few decades. Nice hat and belt twist.
you're rocking that field.
and i love how you always make simple looks exceptionally chic and your own, like that little twist on the belt or the unexpected shoe.
CUTE!!! I love that dress and the belt, so awesome

Very cute dress!! Love the pics!!
Love the dress and the hat! and the belt :)
looooooooove how you tied that belt!
I love how you tied your belt! Makes it way more interesting! I love having black and brown together, I don't think it clashes at all
I love the way you tucked your belt! I always wanted to know how to belt a belt without using the belt holes.
Do you recommend any online sites that I can get a good bargain on shoes?
The way you wore the belt is so creative and I love the Manila shot. :)

@Justine Hi Justine! I highly recommend endless.com. I love that they have free shipping and return shipping and you can also do cashback at many sites like fatwallet.com or ebates.com. The prices aren't what I call bargains. If you want to get some cheap but stylish shoes, you should check out gojane.com. But they don't have free shipping and they're kind of expensive to return ship. Anyway, hope this answered your question! If not, please email me!
There are so many things that I love about this outfit! First the color combination - navy + brown + black = love! And I totally love how you did your belt - what a great idea! Just awesome - way to rock it!

Thanks for posting the belt closeup, I've always wanted to learn how to do those twists!
okay don't feel bad. i want to take blogger fashion shots in an empty field too!
The hills are alive!.... oops sorry, just something about a field with a tree and well, you know. :)
you look lovely with your dress Elaine...suits up the entire photo with the sky and the field...
take care love

Hey! I grew up in an area with lots of fields and lots of woods to roam in. Excitement followed me everywhere I went--or maybe I was following it! =)
You managed to look amazing out there in the middle of nowhere.
okay you wear belts better than anyone i know. you look gorgeous!!!
how's cali?
Love the belt twist too :)
Amazing Sunset! Love the pics!
Been silently stalking your blog for a while now... I love how this (and all your outfits) seem effortless. Always believable, never over-the-top or trying-too-hard. BIG fan.
Check me out some time:

cute picture!
so jealous, heard the weather is great out there right now!
profile - hat - empty field = dynamite :)
(as usual!)
Kristin
you look so great!
Great way to tie the belt and that hat is fab.
so summery!!!!!
That belt knot is off the hook, really like it!
Is it lame that I actually have been scouting out plain fields in hopes of securing a rather cloistered blogging photo shoot spot? I mean, look how it turned out for you! Use boring fields to your advantage! Obviously Mother Nature only put out fields for bloggers, amirite? :)
PS: I love the hat with the dress with the booties-- it's just all great!

Lovely outfit! I am a new follower of your blog and I really like it and your style.

I've always wanted to take pictures in an Empty Field.
You look great. I love the dress on you.
These pictures are so pretty!
Love the dress and the belt!
Love the belt! I'll have to keep this in mind next time one is too long. :)
I love your hat.
XOXO

I like how you corporates those shoes to a summer dress. And your hair looks really nice vawy after a while
So simple and chic, I love it! I love the way you did your belt, I always have to tuck and loop it that way as well because the belts are always huge!
And I feel you, I was blessed with short legs as well, and it is quite the challenge sometimes to make them even look a normal length lol
Happy 1st of July!

ciao bella

creative carmelina
I can recognize that this is a total blogger stereotype, but I feel like the empty field shot is a total rite of passage. I still want to do one! Cliches aside, you look lovely. I adore your hat!
Love Love how you did ur belt!! Cute dress!!!
Hey, skinny minnie! That dress looks like it was made for you!

I love how you say its the 'steriotypical fashion blogger in a field' photo, I am yet to get one! I want one now. the dress is cute, looks so versatile.
I love how simple this outfit is, but how you rock it so well that it looks stunning. You seriously always look so good! :) happy 1st of july. x
I like how you belted your belt today too! It looks deceptively simple but is all loopty looped! I'll have to try that at home.
You pull off the fashion blogger in an empty field really well! I have yet to do the empty field photo, but I feel it coming in the future :) Very cute dress!
nice outfit :)
I like your fancy belt looping, and I love your trip picture. I think I need that one on my desktop.
Chic on the Cheap
I love it all. Especially the hat. You have the cutest figure. (Hopefully you don't think I'm a creep. :))
Your hair is gorgeous. You're gorgeous!
Ah, but an empty field is the best place to be!
Love this outfit, you look stunning!
Great hat!
i love the way that you belted your belt! it's soooo different and chic :)
also MUST GO TO PHILLIPINES
Thanks for stopping by!
Haha I went a little comment crazy, but I guess that's what happens when I've been this absentee..
Well I think it's not so much about the field but about the blogger/outfit and you're rocking it.
My town is more all trees as far as the eye can see. Fields seem nice =]

Cute hat babe.. I always see the field photos lol I have to take some
I LOVE the bohemian ambiance of the setting of these pictures - you look gorgeous!! :)
I´d rather like my picture taken in an empty field than in a place where lots of people stare at you. ;) Love that dress and you and yes, Manila bay sunsets are really awesome! :)
i just attempted to tie my belt similarly in a public place haha! it's toooo cute!
Ooh~ I like it! Simple and chic!
You look great! Love the belt with that dress.
I can never knot my belt so perfectly! It looks great, and so do those shoes with your dress - your legs definitely don't look short!
these shots make you look more like a model than a fashion blogger, you look so fierce! (cheesy line but so true!)
Nice dress and pretty hat!
I'm your follower now, thanks for your comment :P
