The Husband Shirt
21 Jan 2013
My archives tell me that I haven’t done a style post since November. It’s time to dust off this little corner of the blog, especially now that I have a few new things. I really wanted to put together an outfit with my jean jacket. I’ve had it for close to ten years, and I used to wear it almost every day, but it has been languishing in my closet for a while now. Time for a comeback!
I was having trouble finding the right shirt when my husband suggested that I try one of his. It was perfect–just the look I was going for, long and billowy, fresh and crisp. We have all heard of boyfriend jeans, but I give you…the husband shirt! I used to wear big button downs like this one all the time when I was in grad school (cinched with gigantic, gigantic belts), and a part of me misses those days–there’s not much that is more comfortable than an oversized shirt.
I have to give such mad props to my husband, who not only gave me the shirt off his back, but took these incredible photos, with the light converging just perfectly. Thanks, honey. You’re the best.
The rest of the outfit is from my regular thrifted wardrobe. The purple jeans are a fairly new addition, but I think I might actually be able to subtitle this blog “Girl in Red Shoes with Yellow Purse.” What can I say, I love them!
The jewelry, however, is all new! Eric’s parents gave me this sweet purple bracelet for Christmas.
I bought these necklaces on suuuper clearance for about $1.50. Together. A bonanza! I’ve never really had any jewelry with feathers, but I love how delicate they are.
I don’t usually go for matching my jewelry too much, but I went all out with the feathers today. Couldn’t help myself.
It was 80 degrees this weekend–totally too warm for this jacket! (If you are somewhere frigid, and you are jealous, just bear in mind that I am also jealous of you!) Hopefully we’ll get back to some more chilly weather soon. I am probably the only person in LA longing for wind and cold days, but I am just not done with winter yet.
In any case, hope you are all having a wonderful long weekend! Thanks for reading!

I knew I had been missing these posts. Thanks for reviving these style photos. It is obvious from the incredible photos of you that those all nighters at the observatory have taught your astronomer how to discover and document a star even within our own atmosphere.

Aww, you are so sweet! We are happy to be back doing them because they are such a collaborative effort for us. You should see how much he concentrates on getting the perfect shot! He is really the best 🙂

I love it! These photos are amazing (as is the outfit…it’s like something I’d wear!) Seriously, these could really be in a magazine!

Thank you so much! You are the sweetest! We got lucky with the light, but the rest is totally all Eric 😉

Ah! So nice to see the fashion photo shoot again! I just love that not only does Eric take these fabulous, glowing pictures of you, but he also recommends the perfect shirt for the ensemble! Now that’s what I call a husband! Great post!

He’s what I call a husband too! We have had such a lovely day at home today, I am not going to let him go back to work tomorrow! I am just the luckiest girl 🙂

Oh, Cameron! These pictures are wonderful!!! You look very content–just a softness that tugs on my heartstrings. . . . perhaps it’s that million dollar smile?? Or, maybe, your open heart?? Ah, I am smiling right back to you (and your very sweet photographer. You really ought to keep him!!) 🙂

Thank you so much! I am telling you, it is impossible not to smile at him when he is taking my picture…or anytime, really! I most definitely intend to keep him! 🙂

Love this post! You look amazing, and it’s even better knowing your smile is aimed at the love-of-your-life behind the camera, who also inspired the outfit. Love the jewelery, too!

Thank you so much! He is most definitely the love of my life, and it is impossible not to smile when he is smiling at me 🙂
