shirt: ZARA pants: GAP necklace: Forever 21
I have been into combining a pair of colorful pants with a white or gray shirt these days. I find it easier for me to put more colors on the bottom than on the top. I love white and gray shirts and it’s clear if you take a look at inside of my wardrobe…
Forgive me if the colors look too washed-off or strange to you. I’m still learning a lot about photography post processing and I experiment as I write and post on my blog. The wonderful world of Youtube is teaching me how to use the Lightroom functions to change the colors on my photos taken on my Canon Rebel T3i. I hope that one day I can take prettier and more professional looking photos.
As usual when I was shooting for this post on our balcony (I wish I could go outside and shoot, but with a tripod and timer and shooting fashion post photos myself, this is the best I can do), my son woke up from his nap. My helper helped him get out of the crib (I normally run to him, but I decided to keep on shooting). My son came running to me and started posing in front of the camera with and then go to the camera to look at his photo. It’s the most adorable thing. I remember I used to take photos with my middle daughter who was about the same age or slightly older than my son’s current age. We were still living in Jakarta at the time. Here and here are some examples.
When I look at the photos on my blog from the past especially the ones taken at the beginning of our time in Jakarta, they throw me right back into nostalgia. My middle child was home and I did a lot with her. They make me miss my time with her. It feels like my son is little forever sometimes, but I keep reminding myself that soon he will start school and I will miss him. I won’t be able to take photos with him like in this post once he starts his school. It won’t be for another few months, but I need to cherish every moment with him.
Being a stay-at-home mom, I don’t have a big budget for my wardrobe. The cost of the three pieces of this outfit, flower print pants from GAP, the white shirt from ZARA and the mint green necklace from Forever 21 was US$50. I was able to purchase the pants and shirt on sale. The pants and necklace were purchased in the U.S. and the shirt was in Mumbai, India. There is no place like the U.S. for shopping.
