How pretty is this lace jacket?  I love the details!  I toyed with different ways to style it and decided an all-white look showed it to best advantage.  It’s like a monochromatic home design in reverse:  rather than add interest to the room by adding texture, I’m featuring the texture by giving it a single-color backdrop.

I’ve been trying to take moe photos without sunglasses, because they seem more personal that way.  My challenge is a real sensitivity to light.  I’ve talked about this before.  It’s been an issue for as long as I can remember.  I even wear sunglasses on cloudy days, although they aren’t as dark.  Avoiding squinting is a near impossibility, even standing in shade with my back to any potential sunlight.  I’ve been trying to find ways to compensate but, as you can see, if been only partially successful.  I haven’t given up though!  I’ll keep trying and hopefully figure out a method that works for me.  If you have any suggestions, please send them my way.  I’m open to just about anything!

Thanks so much for visiting!
