Haute Mail: Professional & Fashionable

Dear Haute,

I just started my business as a Brand Consultant and will be taking professional pictures for my website really soon. I would love my photos to be professional but fashionable at the same time. Do you have any suggestions on what styles I can put together for the shoot?


I believe J.Crew Summer collection takes on a style that is professional and fashionable. When styling for photo shoots, I like to use a lot of layers or separates to create a fun ensemble. That's exactly what you should keep in mind. Pull out a few essential pieces from your closet, like a denim jacket, a white chambray shirt and a stripe top. Try mixing colorful prints with florals that compliment each other. Be sure to take a few accessories with you to complete your professionalism. A pair of clear specs, a satchel handbag and oversize clutch will do perfectly fine. 

Relax!

30% chance of rain equals to a cloudy weekend, a couple meetings on Saturday and a lot of sleep on Sunday. This was one of the few weekends out of the year when I'm not working. But it seems like no matter what, with no help of an alarm clock, I'm still up at 6am. Nonetheless, after lunch, the "itis" kicked in and I was out like a light.



I wore a maxi dress by H&M, (similar here or here) a studded belt (old) and a men's hat (old)
