When I was picking through my pictures to post today I realized that the machinery could cause this post to become political (at least it always seems political in Alberta). I assure you my reasons for going to this location are very simple: I need some variety in my locations lately and the oil companies keep the driveways completely clear which means I don't get my car stuck in snow. That is all!
Anyways! I love the shirt I got from Ruche but I have a hard time styling it because of the length. It's weirdly in between a shirt and a dress on me. Don't worry, when I was doing some errands today I had a skirt over it. I just thought in a controlled environment (ie I can delete the pictures I'm flashing you in) I'd try it out as a dress. I think it failed as a dress. Even though it passes the well-known "Cover's My Bum" rule, I would always be on edge that a gust of wind was lurking around. I promise I'll go put some pants on now...

Oh yes! I was featured on Hello, Monkeyface! today. I did an interview on self-photography! Check it out!
Hi there! I discovered your blog through Hello, Monkeyface! Loved your self-photography and photoshop tips!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have my utmost respect and wonder for taking pictures in such a hostile winter environment - I am currently holed up inside in my apartment with just a few inches falling from the sky! :)

ah i totally know what you mean about awkward lengths! i thought 5'4" was average for girls (that's my height) but everything is too short for me!
ReplyDeleteHi Shy! I found you through Monkeyface. I must say that I am truly inspired by your unique and creative self-photography! They're beautiful! Now I'm inspired to be more creative heh!
ReplyDeletei feel like i often balance back and forth between too short and just right. i'm also so afraid my skirt will blow up!
ReplyDeleteWhy Hello there! Oh my goodness, I just scrolled through all your fantastic posts. Where have I been!?! I definitely missed getting my daily Shy outfit fix this past week- while I've been writing paper.
ReplyDeleteLoved all your outfits. And today's shirt/dress is totally relatable. You look A-mazing, of course!

ReplyDeletei think it looks amazing on you though. (but everything does.)
shy, as always these pictures are beautiful.
xoox
I definitely have a couple of those shirt?dress? things. I'm gonna include one in my next 30for30 so I can wear it both ways :D
ReplyDeleteLove your apolitical oil rig location!
Love your outfit - the pattern on the skirt is gorgeous! And such a great Alberta post, nothing like a good rig to say Alberta LOL!

These are really visually captivating and intriguing photos. It's very strange to see one of those things up close like that.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with those in between lengths - which is odd b/c I'm only 5'2 - but I think the dress/shirt looks gorgeous on you. I love the vintage-y print and the muted color tones. Lovely as always:) xx Marisa
I think you did a great job styling the shirt-dress thing. Haha, it would definitely be a shirt on me!
ReplyDeleteOil rigs like that are everywhere in TX, but not around where I live. Kinda cool that even though we live in completely separate places, they still have something in common.
I love this dress/shirt thing, so pretty. The pattern is really cool on it! I like these photos a lot
