Downtown Divas

{J. Crew top and skirt, Express scarf, Urban Outfitters bag and sunglasses, Diana Warner earrings, Target socks, Steve Madden wedges}

I had the fabulous opportunity this past weekend to shoot downtown with the ah-mazing photographer Sarah Marie Thompson. Ya'll I can't tell you enough how wonderful she is! She's not only talented, but has amazing fashion sense. (The shades you see in these pictures- yep, they're hers!) So needless to say, you'll be seeing a lot more from her in the future. And lucky for us, Knoxville has been uncharacteristically warm lately- as in I could actually wear a skirt without tights and be completely okay. So that's exactly what I did. This denim skirt has become a staple in my wardrobe (but really, what denim skirt isn't?), and it makes for such an easy transition from winter to spring and back again. I also managed to pick up this fun leopard print scarf for a bargain, and just can't seem to take it off. It just gives every outfit I wear that little extra punch.

How serious do I look in this picture? If you know, me I'm kind of the opposite, but ironically this might be my fave. I'm trying to master the whole "smile/stare without teeth" and I'm no model, but I think this one's pretty good, no?
