Dreamsicle.

Dress: Thrifted
Tights: Target
Boots: Thrifted
Brooch: Vintage
Bracelet: gift from Ashley of flyby designs

The weather here lately has been so terrible, if it's not snowing it's gray and gloomy. I haven't been in the mood to wear dresses too much lately, to be honest I consider it a win if I can even get proper pants on (before I go into work). I picked up this dress the other day and it was so cheerful that I had to wear it as soon as I could!

The only problem is that the gray skies make for terrible pictures, so I played around in Photoshop to see if I could get them to look any better. I was going for an over-saturated and fuzzy 70s feel. I wish I knew how to use Photoshop better, I have a few little editing tricks I use sometimes, but I would love to know more. I also wish the sun would come out soon, then I wouldn't need Photoshop :)

Do you have any photo-editing tricks up your sleeve?

    Oh my goodness gracious me. That dress is amazing! I always feel just a little sad when I scroll down and it says 'thrifted' because it means I can't buy one too! haha. I also have no idea how to use Photoshop.. I use a cute website called Piknik for simple editing. It's easy to use and set up to look like a picnic! Cute!

    Hello, you are adorable. :) I used to take outfit photos outside and I LOVED grey skies b/c then there weren't any weird sun shadows. Anyway, what I would do in Photoshop to make them pretty was to duplicate the image, go to Filter> Render> Lighting Effects and select 2 o'clock shadow and extend the circle over your entire image. Adjust the opacity down to 25-35% and voila, pretty glowy photos!

    Sorry that was long and boring but the point is -- nice to meet you. :)

    I love this dress and it goes perfectly with the boots. I am still on the search for the perfect pair of cowboy boots.
