Thanksgiving Pt. 2 OOTD Bloopers

Helloooo everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Thanksgiving Pt. 2 OOTD! For Thanksgiving, I had four days off in total and it was absolutely magnificent. I cannot remember the last time I had that much time off in a row – probably not since we vacationed in the Poconos over two years ago! It was basically a Thanksgiving miracle, but it was SO hard to get back to work come Monday. I feel like I went through most of the week half asleep lol. During this OOTD shoot, however, I was wide awake because holy shit was it cold haha check it out:

What an amazing action shot, amiright?

WTF is this, guys? lol YIKES

image_50461953(7)

Back in the day when I was ice skating a lot, I would say that I had a very high tolerance to cold weather. I was so used to it that it never really phased me. Fast forward to when I have not skated in forever and any semblance of tolerance to the cold has flown out the window. Whatever the weather, I will never stop shooting OOTD content. Having said that, these Thanksgiving photo shoots were freaking miserable! Not only was the temperature frigid, but it was windy as all get out and made things so much worse. It was the kind of cold that literally just goes right through you.

Speaking of being cold, it is forever freezing in my apartment compliments of my sweet husband. ❤ Johnny runs hot both in looks and temperature wise. Myself, on the other hand, am a huge freeze baby. We are constantly turning our thermostat up and down, much to each other’s displeasure. While I never back down from a challenge, I have admitted defeat in the Great Thermostat Battle of 2023 because I cannot win! That’s not to say that the cold apartment doesn’t have its perks because there is one… I put my freezing hands and feet on Johnny and lovingly remind him that he is doing it to himself. How adorable are we? 😉

I don’t miss the scorching days of summer, but I would be elated if I could transport to a 70s and sunny location right about now. I guess I’ll make do with make believe as I wrap myself in yet another blanket SMH!

What is winter weather like in your neck of the woods? What is your perfect temperature? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Thanksgiving Pt. 2 OOTD

Thanksgiving Pt. 2 OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! You guys already saw the look I created for Thanksgiving day at my mom and dad’s and today we’re going to take a gander at what I wore to celebrate with Johnny’s family. We spent a wonderful day with Johnny’s mom, dad, and aunt the day after Thanksgiving. We had a delicious meal, played lots of goofy games like Quiplash, and had an absolute blast. For Thanksgiving Pt. 2, I wanted to style an OOTD that was cute, of course, but comfy too. Your girl was in a food coma from the day before lol! Check it out:

image_50769665(2)image_50769921(2)image_50456065(6)image_50734593(3)image_50737409(1)

Who? What? Wear?

Cheetah Print Cardigan: Ruby Moon, TJMaxx

Black Sweater: Shrinking Violet, TJMaxx

Coated Skinny Jeans: Seven Jeans, TJMaxx

Red Heeled Boots: Bamboo, TJMaxx

Coin Necklace: Mia Fiore, TJMaxx

I have no idea where the cross earrings are from!

Whenever I think of “cute and comfy” for cold weather clothing, my mind instantly conjures up cardigans. I love me a cardigan SO much and have quite the collection in every style and knit imaginable. Cardis are a fun piece of clothing because they are truly a dress up or dress down piece. An outfit featuring a cardigan can be as casual or as dressy as you make it and I chose my cheetah print cardi by Ruby Moon to get my OOTD started. Like my husband, I am very fond of animal print and the cheetah pattern of this cardigan just hit different. The jet black pattern against the wheat colored base felt chic and added a touch of sophistication to such a classic comfort piece.

Once I had selected my cardigan, the rest of the outfit was super easy to build from there. It was FREEZING on Thanksgiving Day and it was just as cold on Friday too. To stay warm, I put on a black sweater by Shrinking Violet. This was the perfect layering piece for underneath my cardi because it was thin and form fitting. Remember when layering that two thicker pieces on top of each other is a major no no unless you like looking like a marshmallow! I also liked that this sweater was completely plain so it let the cheetah print do all of the talking.

Next, it was time to visit the pants department and I knew just what I needed: My coated black skinnies by Seven Jeans. These actually feature a snakeskin pattern but you would never know unless you are really looking for it. However, it wasn’t the pattern I was interested in for these jeans but the texture. With two knit pieces on top, I wanted to add some visual interest on the bottom and my Seven Jeans gave the sheen to break things up. This was another way to keep my OOTD feeling chic even though I was purely dressing for comfort.

Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. For jewelry, I had a nice blank canvas from the plain Shrinking Violet sweater so I could get away with a chunky necklace that had some length. I went for a stunning necklace by Mia Fiore that featured a bright gold chain and an antique coin as the pendant. I also put on a pair of long dangly cross earrings to offer some extra length to my neck since it was rather covered up. Since the base of this outfit was completely neutral, I knew that I could have some fun with the shoes. I chose my pointed toe, cherry red heeled boots by Bamboo and it gave a fabulous pop of color. With that, I was ready to go eat even more Thanksgiving food! 😀

I styled two completely different looks this Thanksgiving and I love how both of them turned out. For Thanksgiving Pt. 2, I wanted to style a look that would never let you know I was dressing to be comfy and I think I succeeded!

What do you wear to dress for comfort? What is your favorite pattern to wear? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Thanksgiving Day OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Thanksgiving Day OOTD! I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving with both my family and Johnny’s and I hope all of you enjoyed your day too. And, yes, trust and believe I went to town on all of the green bean casserole!! Lol, I had been waiting for that moment for so long and I don’t understand how it’s such a heavily debated Thanksgiving side dish. It is straight fire! But, I digress. Let’s take a look at some of these shots that I am not feeling particularly thankful about 😉 :

I like to think I’m an expert at wearing heels, but I am forever tripping myself up!

image_50772993

As always, shout out to that one piece of hair that manages to end up sticking up. AND shout out to Johnny for never noticing! lol

image_50785281(3)

I LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ was it cold out lol

image_50727169(11)

Holidays are always a special time to me and they are even more fun with my sweet nieces, Val Gal and Raya. Those little ladies are hilarious and Johnny and I will forever be wrapped around their little fingers! One thing that I love about Val is her passion for fashion. She picks out her own outfits and is most partial to adorable dresses. Real recognizes real, and she can tell that we are one in the same when it comes to style. Val was obsessed with my kitten heels and I assured her they weren’t hard to walk in and she could have them when she was older. Her eyes turned as big as saucers! A shoe girl after my own heart. ❤

What Val liked the most from my Thanksgiving Day OOTD was my forest green shawl with a faux fur collar. When I showed it to her she literally gasped lol she is SO my niece! I put the shawl on Val and it looked like a cape on her, so I declared her Queen Valerie and she settled into that role very nicely. Johnny and I went from aunt and uncle to her royal guards and we spent the evening doting after the queen. That is, until Johnny tried to usurp the throne and ended up being banished to the “dungeon” AKA the basement lol. Hey, what can I say, my lil fashionista rules her kingdom with a firm hand!

It is such a joy to share a love of fashion with my niece and I cannot wait to watch her style continue to develop. I think we have another future fashion blogger in the family, for sure!

Thanksgiving Day OOTD

Helloooo everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! I had such a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope the same for all of you. On Thursday, Johnny and I spent a beautiful day at my mom and dad’s house and went to see his family on Friday. Believe you me, we were very tired and so very full after all of the festivities lol. As far as I know all of my clothing still fits, though, so that’s a plus! Thanksgiving food is my absolute favorite. 😀 When you think about it, Thanksgiving is kind of a funny holiday because everyone gets dressed up to sit around and eat. Here is yours truly rocking her Turkey Day best:

image_50457345(8)image_50738945(8)image_50735105(2)image_50741249image_50749441(3)image_50733313(2)

Who? What? Wear?

Faux Fur Collar Shawl: This was a Christmas gift from my mom

Cami Top: mittoshop, French Rooster

Body Con Skirt: Originality, Dry Goods

Kitten Heels: Nine West, TJMaxx

Earrings: American Eagle Outfitters

The necklace was my grandma’s ❤

I wanted to put together a really special look for Thanksgiving and I am so happy with that I came up with. I definitely struggled when I first started shopping in my closet because the weather outside was freezing, but I knew that it would be toasty and warm at chez mom and dad’s. I figured I would rather be cold for a few minutes than stuffy all day so I threw caution to the wind when I decided on wearing a skirt. I selected one of my fave body con skirts from Dry Goods and I thought the colors and pattern were so perfect for Thanksgiving. It also was a strategic choice because this little number by Originality still offered some wiggle room despite its tighter fit. God knows I needed it! 😀

Choosing a top was very simple and I went with a gorgeous lace cami by mittoshop. The oyster shell color is so unique and pretty and it complimented the skirt beautifully. I tucked the top in and it formed a pseudo dress, which is a clothing combo that I am most fond of. The only question was what to wear over it! Most of my jackets have a longer fit, which I didn’t think would be flattering with a short skirt. I decided on the forest green shawl my mom got me several Christmases ago and it was just what I needed! The color palette established felt so rich and I loved the chic silhouette that formed once the base of my look was settled.

Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. For shoes, I went with a too cute pair of kitten heels by Nine West. These were a pair that I had admired for a long time from TJMaxx and my only regret is not buying them sooner. How darling is that pointed toe and blingy strap going across the foot?! These heels added a bit of length without going overboard and kept a nice, long leg line in tact thanks to their slip on style. The last thing to complete the look was jewelry and I chose a small pair of gold earrings from American Eagle Outfitters. While I love a bold pair of earrings, it would have been too much against the faux fur collar of the shawl. There was, however, a lot of open real estate on my neck so I put on my absolute favorite necklace from my grandma. With that, I was ready to get my grub on because you know I had to look fierce while doing so! 🙂

I had an amazing Thanksgiving with all of my family and that was the best thing ever. The outfit isn’t all that bad, either!

How was your Thanksgiving? What did you wear to your celebration? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Navy, Baby OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Navy, Baby OOTD! Creating outfit posts on lifewithlilred is one of my most favorite things and it turns next level after I get my hair done. After I leave the salon, OOTD ideas swarm at a rapid pace and I want to shoot all of the content while my hair still looks fresh and new. I wanted to style a timeless outfit for my Navy, Baby OOTD and I love what I achieved. The pictures you are about to see, however, are very low on my list of accomplishments lol. Check it out:

Looking like a straight up zombie. BRAINS!!!

When I style OOTDs, I love everything about the process. It feels exciting to me to go through my wardrobe and shop as if I have never seen my clothing/shoes/accessory collection before. While it’s always fun to style looks with brand new clothes, it adds more of a challenge to turn old pieces in my wardrobe into something that feels new again. That was definitely the case with my Navy, Baby OOTD and it was so neat to breathe new life into these older pieces (The peacoat is over a decade old!). This type of styling really requires you to think about your clothes differently than you have before and I am so pleased with what I came up with.

The OOTD fun isn’t done when my look is styled and what comes after is my absolute favorite part: Taking pictures with Johnny! He is the most wonderful blog husband and no matter how much he playfully drags his feet, he is always up to the challenge of making me look good lol. Shooting this outfit was a bit of a chore because the lighting sucked. We tried so many different locations before settling on one and he was patient and most helpful in my endeavors. It forever warms my heart when he suggests a spot that he thinks might work! Johnny is nothing short of elated once I am satisfied with the pictures we took, but knowing I have an in house photographer whenever I need is something I am so thankful for. He is the absolute best!

My Navy, Baby OOTD was a fun experience from start to finish. I had a blast shopping in my closet and an even better time hanging around MUD CREEK with Johnny to shoot both winners and total losers of pictures! ❤

Navy, Baby OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! It is always so much fun to style a new look after getting my hair done and it was a weekend full of changes, indeed. New hair, new piercing, and a new style because the look you are about to see is quite different from previous OOTD posts. Of course, I wanted to celebrate the navy in my hair that I am obsessed with, but I also wanted to create something chic and sophisticated because that’s how my new do makes me feel. My Navy, Baby OOTD was a step outside of my comfort zone and I am loving how it turned out:

image_50727681(1)image_50786049(1)image_50754817(3)image_50761217(2)image_50455553(4)

Who? What? Wear?

Peacoat: Rock Steady, ModCloth

Striped Sweater: Cynthia Rowley, TJMaxx

Slacks: Sincerely Jules, TJMaxx

Snakeskin Pattern Boots: Vince Camuto, TJMaxx

The turquoise cross earrings are Lucky Brand!

I love all of the amazing shades of Pulp Riot hair dye, but there is something about the navy hue called Nightfall that just hits different. It compliments the red beautifully and the darker color against my complexion is probably the most true to my original medium to dark brown hair. It is such a shocking contrast and my new look is one of my most favorite things that I have ever done to my hair. Rather than let the navy hair do all of the talking in this OOTD, I decided to pile it on in my clothing as well.

To style this look, I began from the top down with my Cynthia Rowley striped sweater. It fits like a glove and how cute is that red heart accent?! The crisp stripes of navy and stark white feel so classic and it really is a timeless piece. When I think about sophistication, “timeless” is one of the words that I always associate it with. To continue with that, I chose my Sincerely Jules slacks for the pants portion. They are such a wonderful staple piece and can be worn dressed up or down with ease. I like that the straight leg fit offers some motion without being loose and it created such a cool but effortless silhouette.

Next on the agenda was shoes and accessories and I selected a gorgeous pair of snakeskin pattern heeled boots by Vince Camuto. I am very partial to a grey snakeskin pattern, but the rich brown palette of these boots is just what I needed. Although these boots are patterned, I would still consider them to be a neutral and they offered a unique pop of color against the neutral palette that I had already established. Remember, navy is most definitely a neutral too! Because the pattern of the sweater was so bold, I chose to keep accessories minimal with a pair of dangly turquoise cross earrings. These were a gift from my mom and one of my favorite pairs!

With that, the base of my outfit was settled but it still didn’t feel complete. To tie things together, I knew I needed a great jacket and I found that with my peacoat from ModCloth by Rock Steady. This peacoat is as old as dirt, but it is so beloved by me. It was one of my first purchases from ModCloth and I still get the warm fuzzies when I put it on. The navy peacoat turned the base I was working with into a true OOTD and it made me feel like I accomplished my mission of a timeless outfit. And, once again, how cute are those heart patches on the elbow?!

My Navy, Baby OOTD highlighted my new hair perfectly and I felt like a star in this look. This outfit combined classic pieces and turned it into something fresh and new, which is exactly what I set out to do!

What is a piece of clothing you consider to be timeless? What era of fashion is your favorite? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Misny Merch OOTD Bloopers

Helloooo everyone and welcome to the blooper reel from my Misny Merch OOTD! Johnny and I had the best time at Misnyland and I couldn’t wait to show off the new swag we were gifted with from Tim Misny. After lunch with some of my family at veg+, Johnny and I walked the little trail that runs through the bottom of Timber Top AKA Timber Bottom to shoot my athleisure look. We strolled along the scenic banks of MUD CREEK (It really is named that lol) and returned home with lots of pics that I was happy with. We also came back home with some shots that looked like this:

My “whoops” face

image_50753793(1)

I actually don’t mind my face in this picture but it looks like I don’t have an arm lol cue the whoops face!!

image_50745089

On my mama, on my hood, I look fly, I look good

image_50770689(3)

I would have cried SO hard if I tumbled into Mud Creek!!!!

image_50765057(3)

Huge shout out to the plastic bag on the other side of the creek because now it’s all I notice SMH

image_50731777(3)

Sexy ladyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

image_50784257

Elegance, grace, beauty, poise

image_50770433

Timber Top is a pretty alright place to live. I honestly don’t know how it isn’t when we have Mud Creek running through the property! There are also hella dogs to pet and that’s always a delight. Johnny and I love our chihuahua friend named Nacho and I am so impressed that I spelled chihuahua right on my first go. Sometimes, however, Timber Top is redonkulous. This past year or so, someone died from carbon monoxide poisoning, a building caught fire, and people were breaking bones falling through stairs. SMH.

This past week, we thought another Timber Top tragedy was unfolding before our eyes because we were awakened at 10:30 at night to the sound of a fleet of firetrucks, police cars, and ambulances speeding through the property. We had no idea what was going on a few buildings down the way, but it seemed serious. We could see the flashing lights through our windows, could hear the commotion through the walls, and were waiting on baited breath to see what was going to happen….

Thankfully, it was nothing!! Someone was running their dryer at night and because of the cold, it looked like the vents were smoking. While this may seem like a massive inconvenience to some, I’m SO thankful that someone called it in. After another building catching on fire, you cannot be too careful and I am most appreciative to our local safety enforcement for being so Johnny on the spot. What was a trick of the eye could have been something serious and I am so glad that it wasn’t and that no one got hurt. Whoever called this in was focused on keeping our apartment community safe rather than sorry and I commend them! ❤

You never know what’s going to happen in Timber Top and it is a blessing that a goose egg came from our nighttime wake up call. Here’s to an accident free new year in good ol’ TT!!

What was something you thought was serious that ended up being nothing? Do you have any funny named landmarks in your neck of the woods? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Misny Merch OOTD

Misny Merch OOTD

Hello!! When Johnny and I visited Misnyland, we were each treated to a new T-shirt or long sleeved shirt from the Misny Merch collection. Johnny got himself the same shirt that my dad purchased for me for my birthday and what I wore in my Misny To The Max OOTD that made me a contest winner. I opted for a black long sleeved shirt with Tim’s signature catchphrase “Make Them Pay” going down the side of the sleeves. This was great because I actually wanted to buy that shirt, but I placed my order in late May and wanted a T-shirt for summertime. With some brand new Misny swag to rock, I had to style a new OOTD and came up with an athleisure ensemble that I wore to lunch at veg+ (Check out yesterday’s post for a review!).

Remember that proceeds from every order of Misny Merch benefits the Cleveland City Mission! Now, let’s get to it:

image_50726657(3)image_50767873(2)image_50764289(1)image_50450945(8)image_50454017(7)image_50732033(3)

Who? What? Wear?

Long sleeved shirt: Misny Merch

Leggings: Express

Balaclava: Steve Madden, TJMaxx

Tie dye tennis shoes: Nike, PacSun

The bumblebee earrings are from Target!

As you all know, athleisure OOTDs aren’t really my thing, even more so since I haven’t ice skated in forever. As odd as it is, this outfit was me stepping outside of my comfort zone! This was a strategic outfit, though, because I knew that I would be with my nieces when I wore it and would be able to chase after the too cute toddlers comfortably. I also chose to go the athleisure route because the Misny Merch shirt is huge on me so wearing it in a more sporty ensemble made sense.

The base of this outfit was so simple to establish. I already had my new shirt in mind and you can’t have an athleisure look without a great pair of leggings. My sister turned me on to the leggings from Express and they are simply the best. I wore them constantly when I skated, I love to lounge in them, and they fit like a glove. I rarely wear leggings in public because I am a die hard black skinny jeans fan and I felt like I was in my pajamas in the best way ever lol. And, trust me when I say that I simply shined when Val insisted on reenacting the “stampede” scene from the Lion King?? So weird haha but I could have ran for days! 😀

With the base of the outfit settled, it was time for shoes and accessories. I went with my purple tie dye pair of Stefan Janoski Nikes and it felt most strange not sporting a killer pair of heels. Then again, it wouldn’t be a sportswear outfit with my go to platforms on! Despite the pop of purple, the outfit was still looking rather plain so I enlisted the help of my new Steve Madden balaclava from TJMaxx. I wore it like a cowl and it was incredibly toasty and added the visual interest that was missing. Finally, I chose a pair of bold, bumblebee studs for an extra dose of cuteness and was ready to take on the day the Tim Misny way!

Lil Red goes athleisure in my Misny Merch OOTD and it was a fun and oh so comfy change of pace. Thanks for the shirt, Tim. You’re the best! ❤

Misnyland Party OOTD Bloopers

Hellooooo darlings! We are going to wrap things up with my Misnyland Party OOTD by checking out the blooper reel! Then, keep it locked for a new vegetarian restaurant review, another brand new OOTD, and lots more fun here on lifewithlilred. 🙂 It has been over a week since Johnny and I attended Tim Misny’s fall fest at his home and I honestly still can’t believe it happened. I have watched the video of my interview with him quite a few times and it almost feels like watching a dream! There is nothing dreamy about the following pictures, though, so let’s take a look see and poke some good old fashioned fun at yours truly:

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will ALWAYS have a random piece of hair sticking up in pictures. *Face palm*

image_50411009(5)

Rocking that Popeye eye!! Acka ka ka ka or however he laughs

image_50393345(4)

I worked really hard for this shot as you are about to see…

image_50422273(10)

Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down

image_50400769(7)

Lol the pure fear in my eyes of potentially plummeting down the church stairs

image_50384897(3)

Getting SO pissed lololol

image_50431489(9)

Rage. Who knew it would be so hard to pop a foot in these heels SMH

image_50439169(11)

I know, I know – I look freaking awesome in these pictures that it’s hard to believe that I currently don’t feel awesome. In fact, I am suffering from a cold from hell as I type this and literally have a plastic bag hanging on my chair to deposit used tissues in! My Misnyland weekend was a whirlwind and not only was I lucky enough to hang with Mr. Misny, but I also got to spend lots of time with my sweet nieces, Val and Raya. Guys, I love those little girls more than words can say, however, they are the biggest bio-hazards on this good Earth lol.

This past Friday, I had dinner with Johnny, my sister, and her fam and on Saturday we all got together again for lunch. My fave little ladies both had a bit of a cough and I figured it wasn’t that big of a deal until their germs caught up to me! For the past few days, I have been Sneezy, Snotty, and Coughy – those are some of the names of the Seven Dwarfs, right? I am one of those people who would rather have the flu than have a cold so I have been a Lil Red mess. That will never stop me from creating daily content, though, and even while I feel like ass my loyalty always lies with lifewithlilred. I just don’t understand how those little kid germs hit so hard every time!

Looking good feeling awful, amiright? On the bright side, this cold sponsored by Val and Raya happened well before Thanksgiving. Nothing will stand in the way between me and my beloved green bean casserole, damnit!!

Have you been sick yet this season? What are some of your remedies to get rid of a cold? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Misnyland Party OOTD Bonus Pics

Hellooo everyone and welcome to some bonus pics from my Misnyland Party OOTD!! Johnny and I spent this past Friday afternoon hanging out with Tim Misny at his appropriately named estate “Misnyland”. Rubbing shoulders with one of Ohio’s biggest local celebrities was due to a contest I won and all I can say is, your girl knows how to style an OOTD! 😀 Speaking of OOTDs, I knew I had to pull out all of the stops for this party and I was feeling my damn self in my new 7 For All Mankind dress. So much so that I have some extra content to share with all of you! Check it out:

image_50447361(3)image_50432001(8)image_50461953(6)image_50747649image_50750977(1)image_50454529(7)

After our afternoon at Misnyland, Johnny and I decided that we would take pictures on the way to his parents’ house. There really wasn’t anything noteworthy to post up by except for oodles of churches so we figured we would take what we can get. Granted, if we both didn’t burn up within five feet of the house of worship we picked lol. Obviously, we both lived to tell the tale and I loved how all of these shots turned out. ❤

As you saw yesterday, the church offered gorgeous green doors which is much more lively than my usual brick walls haha. What I liked best, however, was the huge courtyard in front with brick paving and greenery. It looked so pretty and I’m sure it looked even better during the summer or when all of the leaves from the trees hadn’t hit the ground yet. Either way, it was the perfect setting to twirl around in and my dress was the perfect thing to wear to do said twirling. The movement of the skirt was so much fun and it was impossible to stand still. There were a lot of duds in this bonus pic shoot, but I was thrilled with the ones that turned out well. Twirling pictures are definitely not my strong suit! 😀

We have seen the good from my Misnyland Party OOTD so it will be onto the yikes tomorrow. Keep it locked for the blooper reel!

Where is your favorite place to take pictures? Do you tend to buy a new outfit before an event? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
