Demure
not to brag or anything, but one of the best things I like about myself is that I can dress in different styles depending on my mood or the occasion. This time I decided to dress the way I used to dress the whole time (yup my style was very classic and elegant before I started exploring different styles via fashion blogging) before I started blogging. This would also be the type of outfit my mom would wear. Embellished A-line skirts, feminine blouses, and a great pair of dainty femme soles. I used to tell my mom how much I hated her pointed shoes (i called them "genie" shoes back then), and now I sorta "ate my own words" because I love pointed shoes thanks to Prada & Louis Vuitton.
This was also the first time I started experimenting with my new external flash. I would have never guessed that a tiny flash device could change my photos drastically. I'm currently saving up to get one of those wireless triggers so I can place the flash in a spot where my photos would be "creatively" lit up. Thinking of taking some photographer courses after I graduate to fiddle more on lighting. Up to this point, my lighting source has always been the sun or bulbs.
Laura Ashley top, See by Chloe gold skirt, mom's vintage Prada pointed shoes, mom's floppy hat.
I'll start to write my camera settings and kit for every photo post now as I'm getting alot of questions about the camera. these were all shot using sigma 30mm at f/1.4, ISO 200, and I forgot to note the shutter speed (I think they were about 1/5sec)
I'm soooo glad that I've finished my midterm exams. They were totally dreadful and they were bad for my blog updates (..and my undereye circles). Good thing is that I think I did pretty okay in them. I don't care much about the grades, but it's the effort that counts for me. What matters is that I tried my very best. Good thing that all of my college nightmare will be over by December. I can't wait to put my graduation cap anytime soon ! I missed mine during high school because I didn't finish my IB programme and went ahead for college with my GCSE results. anyway, i got really personal today because I just feel like it. I feel like my blog has been missing alot of diary like entries these days. perhaps I should write more about my personal life ? yes no ? :)
you're still welcomed to ask questions for my q&a posts ! I've received great ones over the past week and im looking forward for more :)

Your mom has elegant and classy taste in fashion...no wonder you got your talents from her...
I love how you got personal today maybe because I missed your emotional inputs in your blog...but nonetheless I understand.
I love how the camera captured your emotions, your face and your dress...this is my favorite so far...of course because you are wearing a skirt that makes it classy and talking about vintage clothing....
Love this one...I guess you did it by self-timer right? How can you get great photos like that...I should learning something hahahaha here!!!! and photo editing you are so good at it...(sigh***)

I love your skirt and hat! you look really beautiful!! I really love the photo where you sit on the chair, the one that you use for lookbook. it looks profesionally taken, with all the colors. you're very talented! :)

These pictures are truly gorgeous, Michelle. And I love the lightening as well. You're a very talented photographer. And I can see in these pictures the many different styles you can pull off. I love the more traditional pieces, like the a-line skirt and the pointy-toe shoes. Great outfit.
P.S. Thank you for your most recent comment. It's always good to know my readers can relate to me :) Hope you're having a wonderful week.

You are a fashionable flower that blooms as beautifully as a rose. The floppy hat is cute, your top and skirt are equally lovely, and the mules are simply beautiful. If this was Facebook, I'd "Like" this in a heartbeat. You look beautiful and heavenly!

Gorgeous, of course! I'm looking into getting an external flash so I can shoot better indoors. I prefer natural lighting, but it's going to be getting very cold here soon, so I'm worried I'm not going to be able to take many pictures outside anymore!
I haven't heard of the sigma 30mm lens...might have to look into it. I have a sigma 17-70mm and it's love!
Wonderful hat!
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Ah Michelle, you look so ethereal and charming in these photographs. LOVE the elegance!! :)
I love this look on you just as much as any other. And those shoes are mad = love.
