Daily Threads: {Kind of} A Repeat


{Old Navy Polka Dot Blouse (similar), Belk Green Cardigan (similar), TJ Maxx Sinny Jeans (similar), Steve Madden Inka Cognac Boots}


So I haven't technically worn this outfit before. I've worn something similar (different pants and belt), but it never made it out of the house (I changed cardigans), so it doesn't count. Whew, I'm glad that's out of the way.

Moving on, no, I haven't become any better with photoshop - this editing was actually via Picnik -- an amazing and free website to edit photos. This editing is the cross-process effect with 25% fading. Same thing was done with these photos (except no fading). It's a great website and alternative if you do not have photoshop - so go play around!

    I love this outfit! The green with the cognac is awesome.

    Cool editing, too. I fear you may have just given me a new addiction.

    Photo editing is soo hard! I've tried photoshop and just can't get it right. So I use Microsoft photo editor. As you can see from my photo's I'm still trying to get it right. It's so fun to play around with though.
    Your photo's still look great!

    i loved that outfit then and i love this slightly different version now.

    i have Photoshop and i still use Picnik 9 times out of 10 because it's so much faster and easier. i'll put learning Photoshop properly on my very long to-do list for someday.

    also, cray and random true story: you popped up in my dream the other night...and then i blogged about it:

    I love picnik! And Cross Process is my absolute favorite. I pretty much use it on all my pictures :)

    I LOVE this outfit. The navy polka-dotted top is soooooo something I would love to have! And the green is so gorgeous with it - a perfect pop of color. I love your hair too! This look is just so great!

    Cute! I love the green cardi with the polka dot top.

    Don't give up on Photoshop. Keep practicing. Try a book by Scott Kelby, they are super helpful.

    Your bun is awesome. I use picnic as well for picture editing and to make headings, signs, etc. Way easier than anything else i have used.

    I love the green with the polka dots! So cute.

    I love picnik too - but I generally use picasa for my photo editing because I'm too lazy to upload each picture.

    You look so fantastic!
    I love that top and the cardigan together! <3 might just have to steal that idea!!

    PS. I also love Picnik, it's a great alternative to photoshop and takes much less time to figure out.

    I don't know if you've tried the Advanced Reala 400... :-) One of my favorite effects!

    I love picnik. It is a great wesbite and I actually encourage my students to edit photos there instead of photoshop since it's so simple.
