All for love...

No, no, before judging me you have to know
that it was a bright, sunny day yesterday
and that the temperature was surprisingly at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit
and that I had a coat on which I took off only for the photo shoot
and that I was excited to wear this Prabal Gurung sandal for which I had to chuck those hideous black tights
and that I was dong it all for love!

Yes, this is my Valentine's Day look as I feel, it has every element of love in it- pink, red and a flirty, floral, full skirt.

Also, the skirt and the shoes are the only two items that I grabbed from the Prabal Gurung collection for Target. Not that I was eyeing a whole lot of things, but I actually quite liked this white floral dress and this lace-up, open toed booties but unfortunately they were not available in the store near us and by the time I was searching online, they were sold out already!

Tell me, did you buy anything from the Prabal Gurung collection for Target?
What are you planning to wear on Valentine's Day?

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

In the blue...

Clearly, I'm in the blue today, with various shades of blue covering me up- the dark wash denim, the medium blue polka dot chambray shirt, a cobalt blue clutch and a purplish blue flower pin with pink making a guest appearance in the shoes and the bracelets. Of course, it seems I can't live without my striped blazer these days!

Different lights...

As yo must have noticed, we, at Fashionably Yours, are not expert photographers.
Our cameras are pretty ordinary, run of the mill, point and shoots and super zooms and our know-how regarding photography, is pretty limited too!
We keep experimenting with lights and settings to get better quality photographs.
So we thought of catching the golden hour the other day.
We took two sets of photographs of the same outfit in two different lights and at two different times- one at around 2 in the afternoon and the other at dusk, at the golden hour.
Can you see the difference here?
The golden hour almost changed the actual color of the dress!
The conclusion- the photographs taken at the golden hour does not reflect the true colors of an outfit.Hence, I'm going to use this light for taking photographs of outfits where color does not play a pivotal role, like outfits in neutrals or black and white.

Also, I've learned a lot about photography from my blogger friends and one name worth mentioning here is the lovely Lisa from Expanding. Do visit her blog for some excellent tips on parenting and photography.

By the way, are you all excited for Prabal Gurung for Target?  I am! Can't wait for the collection to hit the stores this Sunday.

Feeling spring-ish!

I can't deny the fact that the mercury is still dipping down to minus digits every other day.
I can't deny the fact that it is still snowing every once in a while.
Then again, I can't also deny the fact that it is February already;
and I can't deny the fact that, on a sunny day like this and in a floral, full skirt like this, I have started  feeling spring-ish already!

You must be thinking springish?? Is that even a word? Well, to my surprise, I googled springish and it actually popped up with meaning!!
I can't also deny the fact that language is, after all,created by us human beings and there is nothing wrong in creating a new word once in a while when you are bored with the existing set of words, what do you think?

Today, I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy  for her What I Wore Wednesday and  The Tiny Heart  for her Look What I Got link up, and guess what's the deal in this look- this fabulous, floral skirt is just $9.99 on sale!
