Re-purposing

When it comes to thrifting and vintage, I’ve found that you sometimes find the best pieces in the most unexpected places. It can be all about re-purposing. Maybe, back in the day, they wore something one way and for one purpose, but today, it’s a whole other story…

For instance, this dress — or rather house dress. I found it in the sleepwear/intimates section of a local thrift store. The intimates section can sometimes be the best source for dresses and blouses.  I’m guessing the original owner of this awesome number, probably would never leave the house in it. Flash forward to today, why not wear it out and about?!

When you get to see the finished product of a photo shoot, you get all the pretty pictures, nice smiles, and open eyes. What you don’t get is all the mess of in-between.  I finally figured out how to do video with my camera (yes, finally, right?! what can I say, I’m slo-mo). I was experimenting a little bit during today’s photo shoot and put a little somethin’ somethin’ together for you. It gives you a little look at the behind the scenes of what goes on in a photo shoot (see previous post: “Photo Shoot in Video“). I titled it “The Many (Embarrassing & Funny) Faces of a Photo Shoot.” You can find this video below. Enjoy!
