Yesterday, my local fashion icon Elish and I had the bright idea to take some pictures together since our outfits were so complimentary of one another’s, color wise! We’ve had the idea to use the construction site at The Township as the setting for a fashinsipration shoot, but were never able to make it happen until yesterday when we worked up the courage to go over there and just do it.
Since the site is barricaded, we felt rather adventurous sneaking in for a few photos!
Elish on this look:
ON DUTY
Fashion can be eye-catching, ostentatious, even border line ridiculous. But sometimes a girl’s gotta face facts: your clothes have to keep up with you. So here’s a casual, funcitonal look that lets me be a girl on the go!
aaaand my thoughts on this look:
DOUBLE DARE
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that fashion has to be a little daring. Even though my look this time isn’t particularly daring, we did dare each other and push each other’s limits a little on this shoot, which was super fun. (Evidence is in a certain photo towards the bottom…)
My look is neutral, easy, and comfortable. Because when you’re going on installs and lugging around heavy bags of accessories all day like we do in the ID biz, stylish comfort is key!
Here is evidence of the two of us stepping outside our comfort zone and utilizing some of the “props” that the site provided for us: Construction workers!
We had so much fun working together in this capacity (and with the lovely Jaclyn Petty, who was behind the camera!) that we plan to do more of these pair ups!! (But don’t worry, I’ll continue to bring you Fashinsipration looks with just Elish on the reg!)
We’ve already started brainstorming on more shoots that involve both of us… Stay tuned! 🙂
And HAPPY FRIDAY!!
