What to Wear Wednesday | Milpitas San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

We’re gonna bring it back to a little bit of boudoir today ladies, after all that is Danea’s specialty!

Everyone has their own style, likes and dislikes. I try to tailor my posts to everyone and give various ideas about how to wear a style to compliment all the different body types out there. If I am featuring something that is plus size, don’t discount using the premise of what I’m showing to tailor an outfit for yourself; same goes for the other way. Use the base of what I’m saying to try new things, pair new pieces of your wardrobe, or go for that style you’re on the fence about.

Leather can be a fun style to wear for your boudoir shoot. The great thing is that you don’t necessarily have to incorporate it into your lingerie, you can pull it in with your accessories.

You can do a fantastic leather bustier or bra paired with a leather skirt, or even some black cotton panties. If you don’t like the idea of wearing leather, what about bringing some leather boots to your shoot? What’s on your feet can be almost as important as your choice of lingerie.

A leather jacket is a fun item to bring too.

Tell me ladies, how can you take this idea and make it your own? I can’t wait to hear from you!

Denim is such a versatile choice to wear. I do have to admit though, that I find white denim difficult to wear. But I have come across some great ways to wear white denim.

A great pairing is to choose a gorgeous jewel toned top and pair with white denim bottoms.

Another great top choice to pair with white jeans is a soft pastel blouse and some super cute wedges.

Do wear a fun one shoulder blouse and a pop of color on your feet. These red shoes look great with this outfit.

If you’re more of a casual type gal feel free to still wear your white jeans with a sweater and some sneakers.

If you are not up to wearing white denim jeans, think about a white denim jacket.

Pair your white jacket with a fun skirt and the it shoe this summer, the espadrille, for a complete summer look.

What do you think about these style ideas? Do you have white denim in your wardrobe? What’s your favorite way to wear it?

I love a piece of clothing that can go from day to night and casual to classy. Today we’re gonna talk about the camisole.

A camisole is a great piece for a day to night, or casual to classy look. You can accessorize accordingly to the weather and wear a cute cardigan, a blazer or even a jean jacket. If the weather is warm you could even wear it without a sweater.

Let’s look at some ideas of how to wear it with a sweater or blazer.

J.crew cardigan, navy camisole & leopard flats

I love navy paired with grey, and the leopard print shoes totally make the look.

This is a great cool summer day look. Some Bermuda shorts, a gorgeous printed camisole with a lightweight sweater.

An open front sweater is a great option too, and I totally love this color combo.

For a hot summer day you can totally wear it without a sweater. Let’s see some options on how to style it.

What a gorgeous fun print with a cute neckline.

Or pair with some fun printed shorts and a neutral cami for an amazing warm weather look.

Do pair with a gorgeous pop of color.

What’s your favorite look? Do you wear this for a day to night look? What’s the color of your fav cami in your closet?

There are so many different fashion trends that come and go across the years. One year it’ll be in, the next out and eventually a few years pass and it’s all the rage again.

One trend I see over and over again for this year is the Bohemian style look. This look is signified by their fun patterns, loose flowy material and a very casual overall look.

Let me share with you some of the great Boho styles I’ve come across.

The pattern of this skirt is beautiful and you can tell by looking that it would be so comfortable to wear. I love pairing it with a flat pair of simple sandals and worn with a cream colored top. The hat really makes this outfit too, if you’re a hat person.

I love this patterned top. Seriously I want it for my own.

It looks great paired with denim shorts and some fun sandals.

These Boho pattern shorts look fantastic paired with this cream colored romantic top.

And of course you cannot forget about a gorgeous pattern Boho style dress! I’ve got several for you to choose from.

What do you think ladies? Is this a style you wear? Can you see yourself wearing something that I’ve shared with you today?

I love finding new websites and new things to share with you. Do you ever feel that you are just seeing the same thing over and over and over in different stores? I know I do. So, this website I’ve stumbled across is called Lulu’s, and they have some super cute clothes!

Today I want to focus on some of their fantasticÂ dresses, since the temperature is rising and that means most people want to wear as little clothes as possible and dresses are a great option for that.

I love maxi dresses, or at least dresses that are roughly knee length. I enjoy that I found some fun patterns that I haven’t seen anywhere and of course the obligatory black maxi dress.

If you do like knee length dresses there are plenty of options as well. I can say that I am truly in love with this middle teal colored dress.

If you are more of a shorter dress lover there are plenty of options too. Some of these even caught my eye.

They really do have something for everyone’s style and look you are going for. From modest to more revealing, fun colors and patterns, long and short. Take a look around and show me your favorite!

How To Feel Sexy | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Portrait Photographer

Sometimes you need to be shown how beautiful you are…

All women struggle with feeling beautiful and confident. There are so many things in life that get in our way, change how we feel or how we look and sometimes we need a little reminder. I had the gorgeous Miss D in for a session a couple months ago. She was nervous but excited. She allowed us to play with her adorable pixie cut for some playful spikes, it looked fabulous on her! We raided the studio wardrobe for this elegant dress and a sparkly necklace. The low cut front and leg slits showed off all her gorgeous assets. She looked amazing and as always I love to see the transformation from shy and nervous to confident and strong. Miss D has it going on!

Those eyes!

This dress is a studio piece and looks amazing on!

Next, we got a little playful with this sexy little number, also a studio piece. We paired it with this gorgeous mask for the perfect match.

Seduction. When you feel beautiful, it can happen without even trying.

Miss D is wonderfully tall, perfectly shown off in this image. What you don’t see in this set is how much we laughed throughout her session. Some of these poses are not the most natural. Hahaha Modeling can be hard, but it can be rewarding also. After showing Miss D a few images on the back of the camera she did her best not to cry with excitement. I was able to show her how stunningly beautiful she is. To me, that has greater value than the images alone. I know I have said this a lot but there is so much more to a Boudoir Coterie photo shoot than having your picture taken, it’s an experience every woman should have. We all need to feel beautiful, sensual and confident.

Why yes, I do shoot topless, but I am not allowed to show it on my website. I think I found a way around this. 😉 If sensual images fit your style, then these sexy sheet set shots are the way to go.

Miss D was amazing and brave. For someone so nervous about being in front of the camera, she completely stepped out of her comfort zone and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Her images are stunning and sensual. the perfect portrayal of this gorgeous woman.

You were a pleasure to work with, Miss D. Stay sexy!

You weren’t expecting me today, were you?!! I like to keep you all on your toes a bit. My weekly fashion posts will now be on Wednesday so keep an eye out to lift you out of that mid week slump.

So, what are we going to talk about today? Well, it has been super hot here the last few days and it made me think of flowy material and wearing something super comfy. which leads me to jumpsuits. They are super comfy, can be casual or dressy, and depending on which one you choose I think can even be worn to work. Let me show you some of what I’ve come across.

This yellow jumpsuit is gorgeous and a great color choice for the season.

You can wear this jumpsuit with some white heels or wedges and totally pull this look off for work or a date night out.

A pattern fabric is a great choice as well.

If you prefer a more neutral color, there are so many black fabric choices. Here are a few of my favorites that I found.

I love the different neckline and straps on each. And pockets?! I love pockets on outfits like these!

If I had you at the patterned jumpsuits, look at these.

I love the one shoulder look, and that purple with green flowers is so elegant looking. Either again are great for a work to date night look.

What do you like ladies? Can you see yourself wearing any of these?
