What to Wear Wednesday | Santa Clara Santa Cruz Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

I am not the type of girl who wears skirts just because. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am very much a jeans and t-shirt wearing gal. I do however enjoy dressing up when the occasion calls for it, and I appreciate pieces of wardrobe that can be worn many different ways from formal to casual.

A pencil skirt is a great option for putting outfits together. Depending on how you style them they can be a fantastic look for office attire, date night, ladies night out, or casual day at the beach or maybe even a concert! I have a dress that fits like a pencil skirt on the bottom and it is my go to favorite little black dress. There is something about the way a pencil skirt hugs and the hips and through the legs that makes me feel sexy. And I do believe that this silhouette looks great on every body shape. I’m telling you, something about the shape of it is very sexy ladies. Oh, and just imagine wearing this skirt with some stilettos and a bra (or braless!) for your photo shoot! Smokin’ hot ladies!

Let me show you some ways to wear a pencil skirt at an office or for a professional job.

You can choose a gorgeous colored skirt and pair it with a complimentary top. If your job requires you to wear a blazer this skirt pairs perfectly with one.

or for a casual day.

How would you feel wearing this out for a Spring date night?

I found so many great looks for wearing pencil skirts when I was searching, I’m having trouble not sharing them all with you! The last way to wear a pencil skirt I’ll talk about today is for a casual look. Get out of those jeans and put on a casual skirt for the day (talking to myself here ;))

Ah ok, just one more because it is so freaking gorgeous! Look for a lace pencil skirt! Swoon.

What’s your favorite? Would you go for a professional look or are you more of a casual pencil skirt gal?

I love a dress that it a bit longer than normal; a tea length dress. These usually hit mid-calf and I personally find them a bit more comfortable than above the knee dresses.

Tea length dresses have a retro feel to them with their cut and shape, but they do come in different styles. Let’s take a look at some.

Long Sleeve Swing Dress

 

I’m guessing those are the types of dresses you think of when I saw retro and tea length. I love this style of dress, however if you have good child bearing hips like myself these don’t flatter your shape. Trust me.
I do have a black dress like this, that I absolutely adore and is my go to LBD.

I love this one below! It has a great flow to it.

A tea length dress can be a great summer dress to wear to work and could transition to a night out.

You can find a formal tea length dress too, which would look fabulous for any upscale event.

And possibly my favorite way to wear a tea length dress would be for your wedding! I find tea length wedding dresses beautiful and if I had to redo my wedding, it would be a serious consideration for me.

Aren’t those beautiful?! All right, what’s your favorite style for a tea length dress? Do you have one? What does it look like?

What is better than soft, cozy pajamas? Soft, cozy pajamas that you can also bring and wear at your boudoir photo shoot!

Now, I’m not talking about some long pants and long sleeved ratty shirts, even though they be your most comfortable pair of pj’s. Two piece pajamas can be comfortable and can be sexy for your photo shoot.

Look at this amazing pajama set. I’m seriously considering adding this to my closet. It looks so comfortable and I love the detail in the neckline.

Here’s another set from the same company, Soma Intimates.

Aren’t those both great?! So comfy looking yet would look great at your photo shoot with Danea.
I love the ruffles on the top of this one.

The eyelash lace that this set is trimmed in haps elevate it to a more sophisticated look, even though it’s still pj’s.

The layered shorts and the flow top of this outfit would be so comfortable to sleep in, and sexy for your photo shoot.

Now of course you don’t have to go with something like I posted, choose something that is more your and your style! That’s probably one of the most important things when choosing items for your photo shoot; if you’re not comfortable in it you are going to think of that every time you see your photos. Who wants that?!! If something like this is more your style, go for it! Danea will still help you look and feel amazing.

I hope I’ve helped you consider some ideas a bit out of the box for your photo shoot. There’s nothing that says you have to purchase anything new, or bring lingerie (even though most women do). Choose what your comfortable in!

I promise, you’ll be seeing a lot more over the next few weeks as we get caught up… and by “we”… I hired an office assistant. #woot!

You’ll also be seeing more of this gorgeous lady, shown here with her #husbands #ibanez. This is one sexy woman… with a pretty sexy #guitar I might add! 💋 💖

Maybe you prefer just a hint of lace instead of a full lace dress, don’t worry, there’s a dress for you too.

I love that this dress is a bit longer than most, and that it’s lined then sheer at the bottom. This dress would be a great choice for a spring or summer date night.

What’s your style of lace dress? Do you prefer something a bit fancy, or more casual? Bright colored or neutral?

What to Wear Wednesday | Sunnyvale Mountain View Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

Piggy backing on a post from a few weeks ago about how a little detail can really make an outfit, today I’m going to feature another detail.

Today’s detailed piece of clothing is detailed jeans. So simple but it really changes the look and feel of an outfit. What’s nice about purchasing your jeans with the rips or distressed look already there is that they are placed in strategic areas.

Ripped jeans can look sloppy, but if you pair them correctly you can look amazing.

Pair them with a casual v-neck top and some flat sandals for an easy going everyday look. To this I would add a light necklace, maybe an under shirt, and some bangles.

what do guys even talk about

 

Another way to pair your ripped jeans is to wear them with that new off the shoulder top you purchased after last weeks blog (right?!). I have to say I am not a fan of showing your bra but for some reason I think it works with this top.

It doesn’t take much of a ripped look in your jeans, sometimes a little goes a long way. And I am in love with this top.
authentic.

 

But if you are feeling that maybe a little rip in the knee isn’t enough, feel free to find a pair of ripped jeans that suit your taste and style. Maybe these are more up your alley. Pairing them with the heels in this outfit helps bring this into a nicer look.

Who says your ripped denim has to be the typical blue? It doesn’t.

What do you prefer? A few rips or tons? Blue denim or colored denim? How do you like to pair your ripped denim?

Sometimes it’s the simple things that can add some flair to your outfit or even change your mood. Something such as, hmm I don’t know, an off the shoulder top or dress for instance.

An off the shoulder blouse can add that little something extra to your look or that spark to your day. This type of blouse can be worn with a variety of bottoms.

Try pairing with complimentary colored shorts for a fantastic summer look.

OFF THE SHOULDER

 

Feel free to dress up a luxurious off the shoulder top with an equally amazing skirt for an upscale event or party.

Of course it’s so easy to pair with jeans, which would be my style 😉
I love the color of this blouse and pairing it with the wedges is such a great idea.
comment riverdale theories! or pm me!

 

A bright colored top looks great with a dark wash denim.

If an off the shoulder blouse isn’t your top choice but you like the idea, what about an off the shoulder dress?!

I have to admit that I am in love with this dress, there’s something about the pattern that I just love.

And of course the always popular black option. Do wear something with a bit of color to jazz it up. A fun shoes, bright necklace, or a wrist full of bracelets.

What do you prefer ladies, an off the shoulder blouse or dress?

A fun way to add a little jazz to your outfit is to wear an item that has some embroidery. You may be thinking “She can’t be serious” but hear me out and give me a chance. I’m not talking about embroidered items your grandma would wear. I’m talking about classic, nicely done embroidered pieces.

Try pairing a beautiful floral embroidered top with jean shorts for a casual sporty look, or a summery skirt.

What do you think ladies? Would you add one of these items to your wardrobe? I hope I’ve opened your eyes to something you may have passed along before.
