This was one of those evenings when I thought I was going to get rained out. On the way home from work it started to sprinkle. As soon as I got home I raced out, thinking the clouds were moving in and took my photos fast. Then I went in, changed and half an hour later noticed the sun beaming through the windows.
So I put my outfit back on, grabbed Chloe, and took photos again.
Because that is what I do. I started this blog in part to motivate me to take better photos, so some days, I take outfit photos, and then better light comes along and I do it again.

I'm pretty sure it's never too late to start planning that party! And I love that you found Chloe a red leather studded collar - she's adorable.

Fantastic belt! Chloe is the cutest. Happy Solstice.
It's never too early to plan a party : )
You and Chloe are too cute. I love that you re-take your photos. I think I need to get a tripod since my photo taker (aka husband) isn't that patient and sometimes he really just isn't up to taking photos : )
The reshoot, though I'm sure it was a pain, was totally worth the wait! You look great and so does Chloe! How nice to meet someone like that on a walk!
So glad you decided to re-take photos! The lighting is the perfect accompaniment for this outfit...and your dog is adorable!
OMG, I think I need to enter my photos with Jude on Miles to Style! Though he may need to accessorize a little more, like Chloe does. How cool though!
I love how you've pulled two very bold colors out of this blouse with your skirt and shoes.
I'm hopeless with photography (my boyfriend begrudgingly uses my crappy digital camera) so the before photo looks amazing to me as well! And this outfit, there are no words! The colour of the skirt, those shoes and the pattern of the blouse, so perfect!
That belt rocks my socks! Looks amazing! And good on you for being so dedicated to give us dazzling pictures!
You are so dedicated, and your photos keep getting better every time. I am now checking out Miles to Style :)
Gorgeous outfit and sweet pup! xo style, she wrote
I love that skirt! You're right about the reshoot-- the backlighting is just beautiful. I always hope for mine to look like that :) Total fan of Chloe's collar too!
fabulous, all around. way to be motivated to get the great light - i always have to kick myself in the pants to reshoot!
those shoes are TO DIE. omg.

So What If I Like Pretty Things
You and Chloe both look fabulous. I really love the colors in this outfit and appreciate you going out again for the gorgeous light. These are beautiful pictures.
Gorgeous, and you know . . . I have four dogs. Bubba the Pug, Pooh Bear "Bear" the English Bulldog, Chico (adopted recently) the Lab, and my baby, Josephine the Dogue de Bordeaux. A love for dogs and fashion go hand in hand. You look beautiful and so does Chloe.
The color palette of your outfit is gorgeous! And Chloe is such a cutie!

Every time you wear those shoes I get jealous. The orange with the burgundy skirt is a winner in my book. I like all the piece you chose for this outfit.
ps. I have done a re-shoot in a while. I usually just take 500 pictures the first time so I'm too tired to do it again..lol
I love everything about this look. Everything. You're stunning!
Your sandals are so fun! I love the vibrant color, especially paired with the unexpected purple.
I always see your comments on Alex's blog (Delayed Missives), so I thought I'd stop by and check out your blog. I can't believe I haven't been on your site before - definitely adding it to my list of blogs to check daily!
