Boy was it bright when I took these pictures.  Because of the brightness, it really made my hair shine.  Initially I didn't want to wear my sunglasses for these photos, but because of just how bright it was, my eyes were literally watering without them.  I don't know about you, but I have super light-sensitive eyes, so I'm constantly wearing my sunglasses.  I sometimes like to joke that when I get married (many, many years from from now), my husband will not just be marrying me but also my sunglasses.  That being said, I managed to keep them off for a few of the photos, and I really like the way they turned out.

I recently bought a new lens for my camera, and I think it's making a real difference on how my photos are looking.  In my personal opinion, I think my photos look a lot more professional now.  I have also been trying to find more interesting places to take my photos than just my drive way; I've really been enjoying this parking garage that's downtown.  What do you think about the new look of my photos?

Regarding my outfit, I've been searching for the perfect look to go with this choker.  My mom made it for me when she made a number of my other ones; I love this one, but at almost two inches wide, it can be difficult to style it just by how overpowering it can be.  I eventually decided on this tank because of how thin the straps are.  I thought the thin straps contrasted will with the thickness of the choker.  To keep the choker the center piece of the look, I just added simple black trousers and silver sandals (which, by the way, are the sandals I wore with my silver slip dress at my cousin's wedding, which I wasn't able to get a picture of that day; that post can be found here).  The jacket I added last minute because it was just so windy, I thought for sure I'd be too cold without it.
