It’s another snowy weekend in Minnesota and I thought it would be a good day for my third and final outfit that I wore for my itsy-bitsy photo shoot with Shannonlee last month. This bright yellow dress makes me so excited for summer!
Makeup brilliantly done by the incomparable Corrie Dubay.
This is the second outfit that I wore for my teeny-tiny photo shoot with Shannonlee last month. When I first started to dress beyond lingerie, I was really, really into little black dresses. I have quite a few of them but every once in a while I find one that I HAVE to have. This was one of them. The slit is a little high but I don’t mind at all. 😉
Makeup expertly done by the fantastic Corrie Dubay.

I’ve been admiring the recent look of tight black tops paired with a gray check skirt for a while and I thought it’d be a perfect outfit to wear for a tiny photo shoot with Shannonlee last month. Instead of a shirt or a blouse I wore a black bodysuit for a sleeker look.
I love how these turned out!

I hope you like them!

I had a (tiny) photo shoot with my friend, the incomparable Shannonlee last week! I’ll be posting photos soon but here’s a shot from that day.

Have you ever thought about modeling as a bride for one of your photo shoots? I know you’ve modeled before, so I was just curious.
I would love to do a photo shoot as a bride or a bridesmaid! I’ve done quite a few shoots over the past few years both solo and with the MN T-Girls, and I am lucky to work with Shannonlee, an amazing photographer and the shoots are always better when Corrie does my makeup.
I also had the honor to work with Christie Williams of Grinkie Girls in March of 2018.
A few years ago I did modeling for Glamour Boutique and it was so much fun.
I would love to do more modeling, period. Last year I did some writing for Xdress and I was confused and disappointed when all of a sudden our partnership stopped. I thought it would be fun to model for them and I did a shoot modeling one of their dresses. I thought if Shannonlee and I put together a small portfolio it might entice them for modeling work but as the partnership dissipated without knowing why, my enthusiasm for the project died with it.
But here are a couple pictures from that day:
But back to your question. Yes, I would love to a do a bridal shoot! I am becoming more drawn to “theme” shoots where I model one or two dresses in a really beautiful location. The problem with a bridal shoot is that the dresses tend to be expensive and I can’t bring myself to spending that much money on one. Ideally I would love to do a series of photos with me shopping for a dress and trying different ones on. I would follow it up with perhaps a series of getting a makeover and then a shoot with the dress itself.
So, unless someone wants to buy me a gown, I am not sure that will happen anytime soon, but a t-girl can dream. 🙂

The holiday season is always better when you can attend a holiday party, and what’s more classic (and sexy) than a little black dress?
I found this amazing dress at a thrift store. The zipper needed to be replaced and it cost more to do that than the dress itself. It fits like a dream.
This is the final set of photos from the MN T-Girls recent photo shoot! Hope you like it!

Shopping online is so hit and miss. When I first started to buy my own clothes, I had to gather up my courage to shop in the women’s department of a store or covertly pop into a Victoria’s Secret (well, not anymore) to find something cute that I hoped to God fit me. This got expensive and exhausting. It was stressful worrying about who might see me at Target when I needed to pick up a new pair of stockings. Years of building (and purging and rebuilding) a wardrobe was expensive, especially since I didn’t know how to take my measurements.
But it did help me realize that unless you bump into someone you know, no one cares what you have in your shopping cart. Stores don’t care what departments you shop in. No one is paying as much attention to you as you think. This realization helped me find the courage to step out into public the first time.
That being said, I would have loved to have been able to shop online all those years ago.
This dress, worn for the recent MN T-Girls recent photo shoot is a perfect example of when shopping online could go so wrong but thankfully ended up fitting like a dream. For the most part. It does not pass the “Can I sit down in this dress?” test, but I suppose in a way that’s one of the reasons I like it.
I wore this on a MN T-Girls event earlier this year, but I wanted too show it off in a photo shoot.
