For the shoot I was inspired by the end of summer and Sweet Corner’s bright and beautiful cakes colors. My first outfit was a belted baby blue dress with a bring pink statement necklace, and my second outfit was a light pink skirt with a sheer overlay and a blue bodysuit top with a deep v neckline. I paired the outfit with a thick choker featuring a girly flower in the middle! The outfits were provided by Tasch NYC. You can use the coupon code carla for 25% off.
