Calendar Girl

June is a hard month to take pictures in. If you don't go outside at JUST THE RIGHT time, you get mad shadows or, if you're kind enough to have one, you get your photographer's shadow in the pictures. Or you're constantly squinting. Or whatever.

One of the nice things, though, is the light is really strong, so it makes it ~dramatic~, especially if you take pictures in the evening. My sister took these of me after a loooong day, so apologies for the sunglasses. At the best of times, I wipe half my makeup off within five minutes of applying it.

My mom made me this dress out of a piece of vintage Liberty of London cotton lawn she had laying around. I wore it a lot at school, and every time I wear it, it's like she is hugging me a bit. I know, super corny, but I really do appreciate that she made even this simple dress for me! Before I put this outfit on, I had modeled a dress I'd bought at Forever 21 and been given a "meh" by my mom and sister. I came back with this on and both were very forthcoming with its merits, which made me feel better about returning the other dress.
