Catch a Sunday

The other weekend it was a beautiful day in Savannah and a perfect time for a photo shoot!  Lately trench coats have been a go to garment that I always pull from my wardrobe.  It always makes me feel put together even when it's just thrown over a t-shirt and pair of jeans - which is especially great for those mornings when there's not much time to get ready (like when one's alarm clock goes off at the wrong hour and there's only 10 minutes to get to class.  Cough, cough.  I need a better alarm clock).
Outfit
Trench Coat and backpack:  JollyChic.com
Leather shorts and blouse:  Thrifted + DIY work
Here's a page from my styling journal and inspiration photos for this shoot:


A very special thanks to my lovely friend Carly for taking a few behind the scene shots of this self portrait shoot for me!  Photographing in a city is very different than photographing in the country.  There are many more people walking around on streets than in the middle of country fields so there's more to be mindful of, but it's fun having this change of environment!

 I've been back in Savannah for over a month now and it's still so hard to believe that it's been that long. I feel like I was in Indiana with the cold weather just last week. (I'm sorry northerners I know it's freezing where you're at right now.)
I hope you're all having a great weekend so far!  What's your go to outfit when you don't have much time to get ready?

  2. Very great photo shoot! I almost had to move to Savannah last year because of my dads job and if we had, I would come by and say Hi! But... I'm in Kansas so... Anyway, my favorite short-time outfit is skinny jeans, converse with a pea coat and 60s headband with hair down or pulled up either way. I like to think it's effortlessly chic? Fun to look at these photos, thanks!

  7. Esther, these photos give me the best feeling. In particular I can't get enough of that first one. I love your inspiration sketch as well. For Winter my go to outfit is black skinny jeans, a band t-shirt, a short sleeved denim button down unbuttoned, and my all black Converse. x
