Outfit Planning

I know I've already talked about what kind of outfits I want in my magazine earlier, but I feel like I need to think about it a little bit more. My original plan was to do a runway style outfit, but that has morphed into something more like Avant Garde. Hailey and I started looking for inspiration on Pinterest and even created a board where we could save magazine covers or outfits that we thought were cool. In the span of time where we added pins, our opinions on what type of fashion to do changed about 50 times. I'm just so conflicted! I would love to do something Avant Garde, but the biggest problem is my lack of Avant Garde clothing. I'm not really much of a seamstress, so there's no way I'll be able to create something of my own.

Hailey and I planned to go to the thrift store today, with high hopes that we would find something unconventional, something that would belong on a runway. To our dismay, we found nothing. Like, nothing. At all. We spent nearly 4 hours and went to 2 different thrift stores, yet nothing was good enough. Soon we realized that the whole Avant Garde thing was NOT going to work. Not only is it not cohesive with Hailey's plan to shoot at the beach, but it was also incredibly hard to find a piece of clothing that would work well. So in the middle of shopping at the thrift store, we decided to completely switch my theme. Instead of Avant Garde, I would do a nature theme. So the shoot would most likely be at a park or at a forest.

So now with this new idea in mind, we began to search for a dress or a cohesive outfit that would fit the theme. And we STILL didn't find anything. Eventually, we realized it would be 10 times easier to just find something online. So we gave up and went home.

To be honest, not much was accomplished from this trip, but at least we now know what our theme is most likely going to be. Hopefully we don't change it again. Of course, a new theme means new inspiration pictures!

After looking at these pictures and a little bit of online shopping, I have a pretty solid idea. My thought is to go to a flower field. I'll have the model wearing a flowy white dress and a flower tucked behind her ear. I'm not sure if I want jewelry or not, but I'll think about that a little later. I would like my friend Addisyn to model, because she fits the concept well I think. When I imagine a photoshoot in nature, I always imagine light, pretty, and glowy makeup, which Addisyn excels at.  

Anyways, that's the basic idea for now. Although I'm not sure if I want jewelry, I know for sure that I want flowers in her hair.

I'm actually really excited on how this is all turning out. I was so unsure and confused not even a few hours ago, so I'm really glad that I have more of a solid plan now. Based on my front cover, I can now start thinking of my images for the feature article, as well as the contents of the magazine itself. Anyways, that's all for now!

Thanks so much for tuning in, catch you later!
