New nook, boring look...

Yes, you are correct. I have not been posting OOTD pics recently, despite my excitement over my new blogging space. This has been for a few reasons:

1. My new space relies on a lot of natural light. If I use the ceiling light for pictures, I look like I spray tanned way too much and have orange hair. Not pretty.

2. There has been a lack of light in dallas this week due to massive amounts of rain. Massive. Amounts.

3. I don't feel particularly cute yet. In fact, I barely feel inspired to look cute. I know it will come back to me soon, but I just don't do well with change. Like, not at all. I even managed to mutter to husband that I miss the apartment. (The stinky, gross apartment! I miss it! How crazy am I?!)

However, I really wanted to take a shot at it and test out my lighting options, even if my outfit was totally uninspired. So, to debut my new nook, here is a boring look (teehee). (Please disregard the really frizzed out hair. It can't handle this humidity and the rain. It puts up one hell of a fight.)

Top & shorts: old F21
Shoes: Bandolino zebra flats

I think that may be the smallest list of outfit deets to date on Fetching Fashions. See? Uninspired. I'm also in a closet rut for some reason... you know that feeling when you have a closet full of clothes but feel like you have nothing that you want to wear or that you think would make you feel better? That's just where I am. Grrr.... I will get over this rut. I will!

On another note, ya'll will see the transformation of this nook over time... I plan on getting some fun wall decals and maybe some throw pillows. I'm going to play around with it but will try and make it fun and unique. Yippee!

Have a fun Fourth o' July, and enjoy your sun if you have it!

  1. Aw, I think you still look pretty darn cute Justine, even when just being simple :) And I like your new nook already! It's got a cool minimalist palette vibe going on. Like your outfit, simple can still look good there too!

    I totally get what you mean! I've recently gone through a blog "null" since I've been so busy with life with changes in my schedule, etc... Sometimes you just need to get away! It will all come back to you- but take the time you need! I do LOVE that chair in the picture. I just re-painted my office and that chair would look perfect in there :) Have a good 4th!

  8. Girl, you look so cute as usual, if not a bit tuckered out. I'm sure the move has been kinda taxing, but no worries! Your nook will be adorable as you transform it, I can see it now! And I think the chair is cute, btw! :)

  10. I love your new little nook!! I can't wait to see how you transform this little space. I have a similar nook in my bedroom where I hide my computer desk and knickknacks. I never even thought to use it for blog photos! Hmm...
