I just started taking pictures on our rooftop when Chase goes to school early because our apartment has bad lighting in the morning and the fire escape is overrated now and everyone hates my hallway. There are also apartments that look into the rooftop area on the left and right that you can't see but I'm just telling you for the sake of my story.
 |
| I'll just stand here and smile. I hope the neighbors aren't creepy and watching me take pictures of myself. |
 |
| I'm tired...... Did I get any good pictures yet? Maybe I should do a kick. That's kind of cute. |
 |
| Nah... I'm just going to take a little break. |
 |
| What? No good pictures?? Better smile and suck it up. |
I'm wearing a JCPenney trenchcoat (free with gift cards), H&M shirt ($6), J Brand jeans ($158), JCPenney shoes (free with gift cards), and gold necklace ($5).
 |
| Here's a half-hearted smile and kick...but it looks more like I'm about to fly, which would be awesome. But I have to go to work now. |
Shop: trenchcoat, striped shirts, gold necklace

ReplyDeleteThe "I'm tired...... Did I get any good pictures yet? Maybe I should do a kick. That's kind of cute." made me laugh out loud! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the captions for these photos- sounds a lot like how I feel when taking pictures. Your rooftop seems like a good space for photo taking!
ReplyDeletevery nautical :) love the story of your photos!

You are so funny, have a great day and love the new red heels!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed that you can take pictures of yourself. I usually end up with three heads. I don't know how that happens.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute shoes! I love them!

The red shoes are really cute!
ReplyDeletelove the trench, love the shoes. Adorable pictures. Even if your neighbors were being creepy and watching you, they were probably just wishing they could be as cute as you are
ReplyDeleteThose red shoes are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteLove love LOVE your shoes! They are very Dorothy-esque, and I LOVE the Wizard of Oz! Definitely worth losing a toe over. The sacrifices we make for fashion! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shoes!!!!

those shoes are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou look better than me in the morning that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteLovely red shoes!
I love red shoes! It's been a while since I've had a pair :-( I just love how you paired them with the the J.Brand jeans!
ReplyDeleteP.S.
You always right something that makes me laugh {in a good way}
Love the trench coat - or do they call them something else these days? It's 17 degrees here so it's down coat and boots for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you take them in the morning! That's one reason why I haven't done outfit posts in the mornings -- I'm rushing out the door to get to work! I'm actually a master at blow drying my hair with my car's heating vents. I consider it one of my superhero powers.
ReplyDeleteI like the new photo spot (and a glimpse of daylight as I'm living through a blizzard). The shoes are pretty wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteso cute! i love that jacket!

You're so cute! I love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteOk Elaine... this has got to be one of my favorite looks of yours. It's so chic and so Parisian. Minimalism at it's finest. I wish I could master the art of a minimalist's lifestyle (or at least closet!). I love the red shoe... a GREAT heel and a bow = fabulousness.
ReplyDeleteI like your new photo location too!
xx Love & Aloha
a. you are hilarious. i love your commentary.
ReplyDeleteb. i think you are brave to take pics of yourself. i am doing the 30 for 30 challenge and i am going to have to find somewhere to take my photos and i'm so nervous.
you look really beautiful!
ReplyDelete<3
you are too funny:)
ReplyDeletecute pics, and lovely shoes :)

Those shoes are all sorts of fabulous! They bring just the right amount of pop to your look.
ReplyDeleteTaking remix photos by yourself can always be dicey. I know my neighbors probably think I'm a little crazy!
The red shoes Oh my they really add a splash of color to your outfit, I am so in love with your trench coat. I love the picture where you are sitting that is a gorgeous one.
ReplyDeleteNow I feel all pressured to make you laugh. In the last picture you look like you should be a superhero. http://i54.tinypic.com/hv6ov4.jpg
ReplyDelete(Oh, and if you don't want everyone to see it that's cool if you don't approve it.)
The shoes are too cute! I love the rooftop pictures. I miss that about our old apartment! =(
ReplyDeletecute outfit

Little red shoes look adorable! love the trench coat!
ReplyDeleteI love your rooftop pictures! It definitely feels like L.A. up there. And I miss L.A. I say shoot there more, besides nobody is going to care...it's L.A.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love those shoes! That outfit is gorgeous! I absolutely love it. I think the roof top is a nice backround.
ReplyDeleteI'm always jumpy/on the lookout when I'm taking my own pictures. It feels so weird! Especially when I'm in odd locations - like my laundry room!
ReplyDeleteLove your new shoes - the chunkier heel is great!
i absolutely love this classic look! stripes, red and a trench =perfect :)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the shoes! I loved when you posted about them the other day but they look even cuter on, if that is possible! :)
ReplyDeleteVery classic chic. Love your darling red shoes!
ReplyDeletethat would be pretty awesome if you could fly. also, your rooftop pics are awesome. i wish i had a rooftop!
ReplyDeletei seriously love your smile! and not to mention your simple and chic outfit! =D
ReplyDeleteLove the rooftop as background! And your shoes are sexy!
ReplyDeleteLove . . Love . . Love the contrast of the beige trench coat and the glam heels, especially in RED. Way to go! Who cares about those nosy neighbors :)
ReplyDeleteKristin
Seriously, who hates your hallway? I am baffled. I want your hallway.
ReplyDeleteI love the red, white, and black color combo... very classic. So are the kicks :)
ReplyDeletelove that trench x
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny. Sometimes you make me LOL. And I love the color combo of red, black and white. As a confirmed shoe addict, I love the new red shoes. I had to buy the purple ones and now I'm seriously craving these.
