Here is my first set of Floridian photos! I firstly have to apologize for the less-than-stellar quality of these. I was determined to bring my new DSLR on this trip, and in all the craziness of getting ready for said trip, I didn't exactly have a lot of time to practice using my camera. I also get really impatient and overwhelmed while attempting to read instructional manuals. This means that I did a lot of putzing around with my camera during the first couple of days, and that I didn't get very many good shots the first day (a.k.a. these photos). I also took these at a way too bright time of day and at my grandma's retirement facility, with lots of surprisingly busy older folks running (well, zooming in their golf carts) around. I'm so used to the solitude of my backyard that I get kind of self-conscious with so many people around. All in all, I'm not totally thrilled with these, but I guess they're not so horrible for a first attempt. I'm such a perfectionist that it actually bothers me I couldn't have it down pat on the first try!
Also, my bangs look definitively janky in all of these. They get better, I promise. |
Anyway, I felt this dress was all too appropriate for Florida to leave it at home! We ended up seeing tons and tons of orange trees on our way from Naples to Orlando, and I wished we could have stopped to take pictures there (and that I had been wearing this dress at the time)! Lots of people asked me about this dress when they saw it on my Instagram, and it's regretfully no longer available. It's by Emily and Fin, which is a great UK brand that often has vintage-inspired silhouettes and quirky prints. ModCloth and ASOS carry a lot of their stuff, if you're not familiar with this brand! You can see how I wore this dress over the summer here, and I love that it can work well as a jumper over a blouse, too!
Have a terrific Tuesday!
