Loved the stripes, but confused about the remark about August half over–aren’t we still in July? Confused enough just staying home but reading it reinforces it even more!
hi suzi! sometimes, we include older posts within a post. if you notice, my hair is shorter in the post that talks about august. so this is an instance when we reuse older content that’s still relevant today.
I’ve never mixed stripes in an outfit before I’m looking forward to trying this. I have several striped pants, all summer types. You climb on chairs, on walls to get that right shot. Is that your idea or does Jr style/photographer suggest that? Fearless!
hi eve! some of these posts are older posts, but yes mr. style and now jr. style help coordinate the photoshoots.
You look great.. so many great picks!
