Tough woman

Dress, H&M; Shoes, Urban Outfitters; Bag, Marc Jacobs Stam Bag

This dress was one of the best purchases I've made lately. The neckline has a great semi-plunging shape, while the fitted fabric feels sultry without completely going overboard during the day. The only problem is that when I wear it I feel a little too dressed up. After mixing a few tougher accessories like chain-accented shoes, a studded bag, and slightly disheveled hair (in that "I rolled out of bed and my hair is perfectly wavy" sort of way) my outfit felt edgier and more interesting than the dress alone could provide. Thanks to Heather and one of our favorite eclectic settings in Ann Arbor, she snapped photos that accompanied the slightly gritty feel so well.

On a side note, the photos from this shoot are some of my favorite to date. I love showcasing outfits, but it's fun to go beyond the standard poses and try something that has a completely different feel. Thanks Heather for the great shots!
