I used to think that the sun had to be out in order to get the best photos for the blog. Now I’m starting to realize that a little bit of overcast actually help the pictures come out better. I know what you’re thinking, this doesn’t make any sense. I mean how could photos look good without light aka the sun?!? That’s the thing, there IS light on gloomy days too, it just catches in a different way. I’ve learned that if you are patient enough to wait for your photographer to shoot from the angels you will eventually find that sweet spot and voila!
In other un-related news I’m starting to re-think my purchase of these booties. I originally wanted to buy black, but after talking to Gita, who pointed out that basically all my shoes are black. I went with oxblood. But now I really, really, REALLY want the black ones.
Is it wrong to have two of the same shoe in different colors? More important is it bad to only have black shoes in your wardrobe?
The struggle is REAL!

Yes, overcast days always produce the best photos for me! I say if you like the shoes that much, you should definitely purchase in black as well!

Based on my experience, sometimes overcast weather is better for portrait shots because my eyes can open wide and my makeup will show more in the photos:) Back to the look, your shoes look very cute:)

Beautiful look and I think you did well getting the oxblood boots. They’re gorgeous.
I agree- overcast days are, indeed, better for photos. Love the boots, and there’s nothing wrong with having the same shoe in two colors! ;-)

You look adorable Jess! Love the sweater and the cute beanie. No it’s not wrong to have the same shoes in two different colors. I would buy them in black too.
