Cue dramatic lighting! Haha. I took these pictures pretty late in the day compared to when I normally shoot, and the light was all slanty and golden. Yes, I know – that’s why photographers call it the golden hour. I’ve just usually got something else on my plate at that time of day (literally or figuratively). Anyway, I like how they turned out. And I like this outfit. The cami is one of my favorites, and the skirt is so soft. Love them.
This outfit almost didn’t happen, because when I put the skirt on (on Monday) I noticed that a grease spot from cooking hadn’t come out in the wash. So I took to the Google, and learned a handy tip: dish soap + grease spot on clothing = gone! Seriously. So simple, yet I probably wouldn’t have thought of it. Just rub some dish soap in/around the stain, rinse, and then put in the washer like normal. Ta-da! I actually wore this same outfit but with a grey skirt on Monday since the green one was being de-greased. What? Like you don’t do that.
Yesterday was coding frenzy for a client followed by a much-needed happy hour. I got to meet up with Kelly and Melissa for the first time, and tried a prickly pear margarita for the first time. Both experiences were a plus. 🙂 And when I got home, I found out that Ian doesn’t have to do late shift the rest of the week – he’s back to normal today! Which means date night is on for tonight, woohoo!
