A picture is worth 1,000 words, yet these pictures do not mention several hundred more words. I will explain:
1. It was hot. It was 98º and rising when I shot these photos outside the UFW’s 40 Acres (my backyard).
2. I used my tripod and the legs kept slipping; annoying.
3. I bought the skirt at Goodwill in San Jose for $6. It’s comfortable and I like the cotton piping over the tulle overlay.
4. I bought the Michael Antonio Lux shoes with Nikia of Chitown Fashionista while shopping at Lori’s Shoes in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood (2 weeks ago).
5. Those tire tracks you see are the result of cars turning donuts in the parking lot of the UFW EVERY NIGHT around 11:30 pm.
6. I was moving like the Tin Man. I recently signed up for “Fit Body Bootcamp” and my trainer, Jose, basically wants to kill me. My first day was Thursday and I’m still grunting and moaning (but I like it).
How is your summer?

Love this ‘fit and the fact that you only paid $6 for that skirt makes me love it even more.
Very pretty look! Love the heals.
I love the outfit, and ADORE the skirt. Also, everytime you post an outfit, I get inspired - so keep the posts coming!
Love your skirt, can’t believe you snagged it for $6. I have the worst goodwill luck.

Your photos are stunning! I think you are totally getting the hang of the tripod and your calves look killer!
I’m loving the entire look, especially the skirt! I’m so glad you decided to get those shoes. They’re quite fabulous and very versatile.
