Now that it's getting darker earlier, I need to get on a new schedule with outfit posts! Last night's pictures turned out perfect and tonight... not so much! We headed out around 7:15 or so tonight, I think last night was a little bit earlier. Lighting is so tricky come this time of year! The nights get shorter and shorter! Oh well, each season I have photos and outfits I'm not necessarily crazy about. It happens to the best of us!
It's my goal to get at least four outfit posts per week. I have so much in my closet that I haven't worn yet - even stuff from summer yet! Eep! It was such a stressful and crazy summer, hopefully now this autumn I'll have the time to tie up loose ends! I feel autumn is a time of rebirth - even though that time is technically spring, but it just feels like a fresh start to me. School begins (waa, not for me!) and the new fashion year begins. I say that with autumn, the new year and my birthday though too. I need a lot of fresh starts in a year apparently! ;)

Such a gorgeous backdrop and I think you're rockin' the blazer in a very feminine way. Looks great!
Oh, lovely outfit. So put together.

I love those Shoes!!! The whole outfit makes me smile. You may think its not a great post, but the photos are still great! Love the blazer too!!! We are currently in 100 degree wether here in California and I am dying to wear fall clothing.
Oh and thanks for your reply to my email about the Jeffrey Campbell boots. I decided to order them and am extremely excited to receive them.
Oh, Tieka. Don't worry about having bad outfit days, I LOVE your outfits even when you are just being simple! You know why? Because you are real and your outfits inspire so much confidence in other girls! for example, this... I love it, yet it's so simple. I don't know. I just worship your blog because it's incredibly real and you take every reader into your world and it's great! Keep on posting your awesome outfits and everything else you manage to come up with :) I will read every day as I always do! :)
When is your birthday? Mine is Saturday! My goal for the next few months is to have outfit posts. I love yours.. love looking at each style!
aaahhh loving the blazer!!! i hope you wear it with your other dresses often this fall!! :D

I think these photos are lovely - I love the soft lighting. That dress is adorable too and it looks great with the blazer. I hope I get my act together with my blog in Autumn UGH!
I'm so jealous that your half of Michigan is prettier than mine! lol We just don't really have pretty water on the southeast side.
Beautiful as always :)
I'm having the same problem with lack of light in my outfit photos. I was so excited about fall for the fall clothing and I totally forgot about the lack of light in the evenings. I do like this set of pictures - the light is sort of mystical. And the skirt and blazer look great.
You are such a dedicated and amazing blogger! (: I wish I could do more and spare more time to be more productive! I really adore the dress and flats.
Have an amazing one! (:

i love this outfit!! it's so classy and sophisticated!!
i know what you mean about this time of year, you have to time outfit photos perfectly!!
i'd love to see 4 posts a week from you though!! i find it so hard to get motivated sometimes and i get down about my photography. but today was one of those amazing days where you don't think your photos look too good and then a bit of photoshop goes a long way!!
i love autumn- it's such a challenge but it's so fun. i don't really enjoy summer fashion. spring and autumn are my favourites :]]]
keep up the amazing work tieka, you're such an inspiration to all of us bloggers.

Hi Tieka! I love this look and especially love the blazer! Do you know the name of the style? I wanted to see if I could find it online. Thanks for your help! :)
Love the buttons and the collar on that dress! I'm having trouble with timing my photos too. Might have to start resorting to early afternoon instead.
I love the color in this! I couldnt believe it when I read 7:15. I cant take blog pictures past 5:00 because its way too dark and I live in Australia of all places, its supposed to be sunny! You look so gorgeous in all of these browns, ahhh I miss fall so much back home! Im boiling here and get laughed at when I wear tights - but I am in so much denial! I just want to have a leaf fight, hehe. Im still crossing my fingers that you get a job girl - chin up! x
i have the same problem - i'm in such a rush to leave the house in the morning that i can barely find a couple of minutes to snap a picture. and the second i get home, i'm in cut-offs. can't win!
Love the location and those flats are adorable! I agree that fall is a fresh start I always feel renewed around this time.
Hi Tieka! A friend recommended your blog to me recently and it has since become one of my bookmarked favorites. I've never had to courage to try a blazer with a dress, but this outfit of yours has inspired me to give it a try.
Cheers!
You look so lovely, Tieka!
Love the shoes,
totally jealous of how frickin' adorable you are.

I feel you about the time change! New schedules are hard. Love the "fallness" of your outfit...dark and light mixed are perfect for your scene atmosphere.
these photos are great, i think the lighting turned out gorgeous. you look very classy in this outfit! i agree, i enjoy fall, it feels like a busier time but in a good way. plus you know the holidays are coming and that's always fun :)
Hehe, I feel the same way about autumn...seeking for a redirection in terms of style, life and what not. And it's definitely not like this with spring or summer!
Love love love your blazer, and I'm happy that you wanna do more outfit post, yay for the great inspiration :)
Love, Diana

Oh my goodness I am in love with those flats!!! Absolutely gorgeous!
Here in Australia we are in Spring, but I feel like new beginnings come with either Autumn.. or probably actually the start of Summer, because it's when adventures start - there's so much possibility!!!
Love Steph xox

I think this light creates a very special atmosphere, a bit secretive and definitely autumnal!
The lighting in this pictures is actually really nice. I love the outfit too, those shoes are cute :)

I adore that blazer, it works so well with the girly dress! I've been looking for one lately and I don't know why I didn't think to hit up Urban O, it probably should have been my first stop!
Ha, I need a fresh start about 4 or 5 times a year too. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, hehe!
And 4 outfits a week! You kill me girl. I cannot wait to see them all. Autumn inspiration is going to be radiating from your blog, that's for sure.
Take care! xx
This outfit rocks, but I know what you mean about tricky lighting! I love the details on those flats. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog too! XOXO, Natalya
great photos.. such a relaxed fall mood.
super cute blog!
Love Love the blazer and flats! Here's to fresh starts!

hello! Man, I have some serious Selective Potential-ing to do (read) now that my jetlag is gone!
Personally, I think the lighting is really beautiful in these shots but I do know what you mean about the shorter days!
These pictures are beautiful. And so is your outfit!
:o)Sarah
Oh fresh starts are sooo good and Autumn it's a fresh start indeed! eheh You always look so pretty, that pallete of colors are lovely, and so Autumnish :)

I really like the material of the blazer, it's different from the other blazers.
ooo this gives me a good idea of what the light will be like on the 9th! can't wait!
hope you're having a great week
I love the neckline of this dress! So pretty! :)

that dress is absolutely gorgeous! love the detailing at the front, very Scandinavian, lol.
I totally understand you with the whole time situation. I always feel like a have to rush with my bf to take pictures, plus it is super hot in L.A. so he is always complaining when we take pictures early in the day.. In so in a lose- lose situation heheh.
Anyway, I don't know why you feel bad about the pictures. I think they came out great! I totally feel the autumn weather on your side of the country. I love the detail of the dress and the flats. You never disappoint!

I actually like the photos, even if they're not your favorites. The dusky light gives them a very ethereal quality. The outfit is really cute too, it goes with the airy feeling of the photos.
And I know what you mean about needing to take photos earlier in the day. I love fall, but I hate how the light goes away so quickly.
what I like about your posts isn't even the clothes as much as the thought you put into your choices and the joy you have in everyday life...don't lose your spunk.
Have a great weekend.
