The unfortunate part about taking photos outside during winter is that it doesn't take long to get ugly. Noses and fingers turn red after minutes, shoulders are hunched and body is stiff from the freezing cold, and you can only do it for so long before you just give up & say "I'm sure at least one of these will work!" I caught the last 20 minutes of daylight, which explains the varying degree of darkness in these photos.
I've had this tutu since the early summer, and wore it once only for a themed photo challenge. This was it's first public appearance, and where did I decide to wear it? To work! Well, half a day of work, and then off to our office Christmas party. 90% of my co-workers decided to take advantage of the day by wearing jeans, but I often use my 'casual days' as an excuse to wear something mildly inappropriate, like a tutu or a party dress.

I am in love with this skirt. For real. You look adorable. I am kicking myself for not investing in a white tutu for a holiday party this year. You look so festive but it's so unexpected. Dying right now.
ReplyDeleteOh hey, Carrie Bradshaw. You are rockin' that tutu like nobody's business! I dread the day I have to wear office clothing... I think casual Friday would be utterly wasted on jeans. Tutu is definitely the way to go. xoxo
