This post is going to be short and sweet. First, because... these pictures didn't work out in my favor. I've been taking a lot of my own outfit shots lately (without Brett) because our weekends have somehow magically disappeared over the past month. By the time I get home, it's still dark outside so I took these, these and these photos by myself. The photos just aren't as magical as they are when Brett takes them!
I liked this outfit, but I would do a few things different. Note to self: don't pair a tee-shirt under a tighter cardigan. I hate those lumpy arm wrinkles! They are my biggest pet peeve ever. And I would have paired brass jewelry with this instead of silver. I don't know why... maybe just another pet peeve of mine. But I am smitten with this skirt and my new moccasins. I plan on taking some major photos this weekend so I don't have to do another outfit shoot without Brett ever again. Ever!
Outfit details:
H&M cardigan
Forever 21 top
Dash to Class skirt c/o ModCloth

Get to grand rapids!!! I'm taking over as photographer. I used to work for a wedding photographer in royal oak and I miss shooting! Also, your shoes are super super cute.
I can't believe you take some of your own photos. They are amazing. This give me faith that I can improve my own self-photogrsphy skills ...

Oh geez you sound like me, haha! Yay the mocs made their debut! cuuuute :) I have been taking my own pics too and they are BAD. Plus people stare so I made strange faces, ugh.
I do love the skirt, winter never came so I am just ready for bright flats and pretty skirts like this!
Don't be so hard on yourself, it's an adorable outfit! And great pictures too <3

haha aw yeah the self shooting can get rough when we're so used our guys always being there. I had to take some without a tripod in my kitchen and it was difficile to say the least.
I have that exact pair of moccasins. I love Minnetonkas!
I hate taking outfit photos without my husband too. He just knows how to make me look good. lol. I always make awkward faces when I take photos of myself.
I think you look cute though! I'm obsessed with moccasins.

Wow you are soo good at taking your photos! I would have never known! And you look amazing!! I'm really loving your moccs :)
I absolutely love this combo! The top and skirt are just so cute, and moccasins are just the comfiest shoes ever right? I practically live in mine and just bought some ankle boots too! Ahh I cannot wait till daylight savings when I can get my boyfriend to take my shots again - I take forever when I have the tripod haha!
Love the moccasins!
"I hate those lumpy arm wrinkles!"
I totally, totally understand. They are the WORST.

Tieks, you're an absolute doll & quite the photographer. I had no idea that you shot Rosy Mound yourself, what beautiful photos. And honestly?! I think these ones are absolutely lovely as well. But I know what you mean, in the beginning I did lots of my own photos, but now really enjoy doing them with Martin.
AND, this outfit?? It's so darling - I'm smitten with your sweet, sweet shoes, and gorgeous mixed prints + earthy hues. This outfit MUST be re-created by me this weekend. Love your style, beautiful girl. xo V
The whole tripod/timer thing can be SO frustrating, but once I got used to it, I became frustrated when my husband tried to take my photos. Guess it's all about your "system" :)
I think the pictures look lovely!
Happy weekend!

great skirt and cute top, love the shoes too
Self shooting is totally a pain!! But I love your skirt and tshirt :) plus the shoes are lovely XX
Tieka I LOVE the fact that you're real enough to post an outfit and critique it. THANK YOU for being so down to earth. I LOVE YOU BLOG.
Haha, If this is a cute way to get Brett to make more time again to take the pics, it definitly will work!!! Btw: love the selftaken pictures anyhow!

beautiful!! i think you did a GREAT job taking your own photos. it get definitely be a bit of a mission ;)
you look super adorable! i love all the prints!
You look gorgeous! I love how pink your nose it. Seriously adorable. And it makes me think of the crispness of winter and coming inside and getting warm with a cup of tea. Sigh. I miss winter....
I think this outfit totally rocks! I never would have noticed the silver + brass jewelry if you hadn't mentioned it (but yes, that is a pet peeve of mine too). That shirt is so adorable!! To bad it gives you scrunchy sleeves!
Well, you can still take great pictures even without Brett's help :) I wish I had a remote! You look darling.

you still look great girl, so don't be too hard on yourself.
plus, self shooting is always a little bit awkward :)

Loving the high waisted cardigan and print mixing. I take all my own photos because my boyfriend and I always bickered when he took them. I think it's sweet that you two work so well together.
i love how you put your colours together :)it's lovely :))

Wow, you're such a pro at taking pictures by yourself, I Though Brett was taking them, because they still look as great as the ones that he takes. I really like your outfit and the moccasins are so comfortable and pretty, also thanks for remind me that I need to buy a new pair, mine are so old and worn out. Have a great weekend Tieka!

I have those moccasins, and they are probably my favorite pair shoes!
Hey!
I just stumbled upon your blog and LOVE IT! You have such an adorable sense of fashion. I love this post! I know what you mean though about those tight sweaters over looser sleeved shirts. It's so annoying!

Aw, so this proves that Brett and you belong together, even when it comes to photography :) But honestly your self-taken outfit pics still look so much better than mine, I really need to work on my photo skills... Thanks for the motovation! ;)
The shirt and skirt are so cute, I love the birdcage print! And the moccasins <re so lovely too. But the cutest thing about the pics is your red nose :) You are so brave taking outfit shots without a coat in the cold!
I think you did a great job of taking your own photos, you look lovely! Love the jhigh waisted skirt!

I think you did a wonderful job on your photos! I take my own photos everyday. I'd love to have someone else do mine for me because then I could have lots of different angles! I've been obsessed with brass/gold jewelry forever lately. For some reason silver is slowly starting to fade out in my taste! I love your skirt and new moccs too! They're so cute!
