Hillary is who I decided to feature this week. She’s an old friend who I met through friends a good seven years ago. It’s crazy how time flies! Since graduating college, she’s spent the last three or so years in New York City working as a photographer and stalking Lady Gaga in her free time. However she just moved back from New York and it has been a joy to have her around!
Hillary is an amazing photographer. In fact, as of recent she’s taken some photos for A World of Dresses. However this week, I wanted to feature the girl who’s always behind the camera. We all need our moment to shine? So this is just a small peek into the closet of Hillary. Here is what she chose as her three favorite dresses:
The story behind this one begins in high school. She originally bought it at Kismet, a local Cincinnati boutique, for her graduation party. Eight years later and the dress still looks fantastic! She said she has not been able to part with it and who could blame her? This is one of those classic dresses to hang onto for a while. Every woman needs a good sundress.
Hillary’s splurge dress
This next one was bought in New York at Anthropologie. She considers it her first big “splurge” purchase after she got her job. She saw it in the window for a month. Finally, she bought it on the sale rack. This is one that works for all seasons. In the winters all she has to do is pair it with a good sweater or jacket.
This is the only dress that strangers on the subway in New York would compliment her on. Getting strangers in the subway to talk is quite a feat. Also, I love these black boots!
The fancy dress
This is her newest dress. This past summer, she had a wedding to attend and looked everywhere all Spring for something to wear. Initially, she was hesitant about this dress because of the length. I’ll admit that I too was weary of maxi dresses when they first hit the scene. However when she tried it on, she said the colors looked even better than they did on the rack! She has since worn it on vacation in Puerto Rico too!
