One thing that button ups are really great for--layering. And when you leave one opened and unbuttoned, it can be the perfect light layer to your outfit. In this case, I also added a blazer to make the look more polished.
This was what I wore to a photography class with Denver Style Magazine. It was also a rare opportunity where I was actually able to shoot my pictures in the golden hour of sunlight. Typically, I only have time to take my photos after work in the early afternoon. The lighting is always challenging because the sun is at the highest point in the sky.
I use tricks, of course, to make the lighting less harsh (because also, I have NO idea how to use Photoshop or any photo editing, so whenever you see my photos--that is exactly as I shot them). I put my back to the sun. I work with shadows. I chose locations according to where I will need to stand with the sun.
But nothing, nothing beats the natural sunlight of the golden hour. So I took it in. All of it. And loved every minute of these sun soaked photos. Ironically taken prior to a photography class. Also, I don't think the skateboarders utilizing the skate park behind me really grasped the excitement that I had over the lighting. In fact, they were quite annoyed. Perfect lighting and annoying children all in one day. #winning
