Wannabe Model

Posted on by thewexfordhousewife

I am by no means a model.  Let’s be honest, my age is starting to show, you can see the toddler-influenced bags under my eyes, I don’t know where to place my hands or how to tilt my head properly.  But, with that being said, I love playing dress up & taking pictures.  Being apart of the Pittsburgh Blogger Babes has given me the opportunity to network with photographers and bloggers that I otherwise wouldn’t have met.  I’ve made some quick friendships & shared some laughs with some fantastic women!

My most recent shoot was with Lisha Lee Photography at the Mansions on Fifth.  Working with Alicia was amazing!  She is a mommy, just like me, so right away we hit it off.  She made me laugh & feel comfortable in front of the camera, giving me simple directions on where to look & how to pose.  If you’re in the Pittsburgh area I would definitely recommend working with her.

For this shoot, I decided to wear this new Lace Detail Shift Dress from Francesca’s.  It’s currently sold out online, but I’ve linked a similar dress that’s on sale for under $20.  To play down the romantic detailing I layered my Old Navy Denim Jacket on top and added black patent leather pointed toe pumps.  I picked up these pumps from Forever21 for next to nothing, and they’ve quickly become my go-to heels for any look.

#OOTD Overalls

“Opportunities will not overlook you because you are wearing overalls” – Henry Ford

I never thought I would be one to rock overalls, but how damn cute are these things?!  I came across them at Marshalls recently and after taking a poll on Instagram, I just had to get them.  For this shoot, I paired them with a black body suit and my patent leather high heeled pumps.  An easy-to-wear look great for dinner & a movie, wine tasting or even a quick trip to the casino with the hubs!  I can’t wait to wear them this spring with a white crop top & my Steve Madden olive slip-on sneakers.

I can’t link these exact overalls since I purchased them from Marshalls, but here are some similar styles I’m sure you guys are going to love from Macy’s, and Kohl’s.

Denim x 2

Each week Style Collective posts a style challenge and as you guessed it, this week was denim on denim.  I paired my favorite distressed Old Navy Skinny Jeans with this Lacoste chambray top & my olive faux suede ankle booties, also from Old Navy.

After working for Lacoste for nearly 5 years I’ve accumulated quite the collection of button up tops & polo shirts.  Though I hardly wear them anymore, I love to bring this one out of storage every once in a while.  It also looks great paired with black leggings & knee-high Hunter boots or a white cotton midi skirt & wedge sandals.
