“Fashions fade, style is eternal.” — Yves Saint Laurent
I’m gonna be girly for a moment and talk about butterflies and unicorns so consider this your cue to bid me adieu.
Someone once told me that the two most important parts of your outfit were your hair and your shoes. And I’m kind of obsessed with both. A few months ago I seriously considered going back to school to become a hair stylist/make-up artist which would also come in handy with photography, but when I inquired, it was going to cost a pretty penny. Maybe in a few years if I start to get bored and need a new venture.
A few things that I have learned in working with professional stylists is that the more accessories, the better when it comes to photos. And if it seems like you’re overdoing it in real life, it’s probably just enough for the camera…same goes for getting your subjects to be overly expressive.
One site that I absolutely love is The Cheap Chicas Guide to Style where fashion and style expert, Lilliana Vazquez, posts good finds and expensive looks for less. My high school 10 year reunion is this year and upon leafing through my senior yearbook recently, I cringed at the sight of my clothes and hair. But I won “Best Dressed” for senior superlatives in my class which I suppose I could be proud of. Should this be something I should be listing on my resume? (I don’t really wonder that). Still haven’t decided whether or not I can make it to the reunion but I think it’d be fun to see how much everyone has or hasn’t changed. If it is anything like how they depict reunions on TV and in movies, it could certainly be a hoot.
