Hey Lovelies!
Let’s face it…black and white will always be the perfect pair in fashion. These two tones are easy go-to’s with other shades, but when they’re together they seem to bring lots of drama and pizzazz. Hey, I can’t think of a more chic color combo for a photo shoot. And speaking of which…
For today’s post I decided to revisit familiar settings in downtown Marietta, Georgia. With its historic architecture and rustic railway, Marietta was the perfect backdrop to pull off a posh picture party.
I just adore abstract surroundings. When you mix dainty with the rustic, you get a fabulous contrast that makes any style pop. I was aiming for a Belle at the Railroad type of vibe this go round, so hopefully it comes across ok. Note to self…make sure the camera is fully charged before leaving the house.
So, here are the deets on my digs:
I snagged my fabulous Classic Art dress at Mod Cloth ($89.00). It features a gorgeous all-over stippled rose pattern in black. And, from the moment I saw it I was in full-on swoon. I absolutely love the wide collar and bodice. If you know me you know that I can’t live without my statement necklace, so the more open the neck on a dress the better. Now I must admit I was a tad worried about popping out since there’s a lot goin on up top. But I’m happy to inform that my dress (and the girls) held their own. The fit was uh-mazing.
I love a haute heel…but, what woman doesn’t, right!?! I decided to pair my dress with a staple set of heels that I scored from DSW a few seasons ago. These coral colored cuties give off major sass with a 50’s era vibe. And the cute bows on the back give them just the right amount of chic without being overly dramatic.
The clutch (SALE $16.99), necklace (SALE $8.99), and earrings (SALE $4.99) are all Charming Charlie. I love a cute clutch, but I didn’t want to go with a traditional look for this accessory. Instead, I decided on a contrasting texture, and nothing is more of a contrast to flowers like brite shiny metal. Bling!
My fabulous lipcolor was courtesy of Kami Cosmetics (gifted) and my Tiffany & Co bracelet was a love gift from Hubby. Sending #hugehugs his way!
So what do ya think? Did I capture Belle at the Railroad or do I need to catch the next train out of town?
