Me: It’s spring!

Winter: I’M NOT DEAD YET! (<- name that reference)

After this warm, sunburn-inducing weekend, today we were back to chilly temps. I wanted to wear my cute new Loft top…but it was a bit chilly for short sleeves, so I added the cream cardigan. I ended up with sort of an “external” cream column, with a warm spicy center (now I want cookies).

I pulled over by the pond to shoot and was minding my own business, all by myself, futzing with my camera on the tripod when…I looked up saw a bunch of teenage geese galloping towards me, palms out, wanting treats! Their parents weren’t far behind, giving me the don’t you give them anything don’t you TOUCH them look! They came Right Up To Me! I kept trying to work around them but they followed me wherever I went. Ha. Best Photoshoot Ever!

So – the shoot ended up being a little less about the outfit and a little more about Fun With Geese, but there you go. Real life. Plus, it was windy.

“Transitional Dressing” is a fancy term for putting a sweater over a spring blouse. Ha ha. I did intend to take the sweater off for a couple shots so you could see the pretty ruffles on the sleeves (they’re very subtle like those on the button placket) but I got a little distracted by my new friends.

Cars kept slowing down and looking at what was going on, and I was just waiting for someone to yell at me to leave the geese alone and I was gonna be like Hey! I Was Here First! They won’t leave ME alone! 

Eventually, they settled down in the grass, I got a couple shots of them, and I left them to it.

So, the outfit. I like the juxtaposition of the feminine blouse with the oversized chunky knit cardigan. And these are some old Gloria Vanderbilt jeans I cropped a couple months back. They were too long and schlubby before and made me look like the camel with the wrinkled knees (<- name THAT reference!).

The outfit made me happy. The goose family made me happy. It was a happy moment in an otherwise very hectic day.
