Earlier this week my friend Andrea from the blog Blonde Bedhead came over to hang out. I showed her my new walk-in closet/workspace at my new apartment, and then we headed out to take some photos of each other. Andrea makes me feel really comfortable in front of lens, which is a rare gift. I don’t think I would prance for anyone else – I barely even smile in photographs! Part of the reason I became a street-style photographer is because I am highly critical of photos of myself, but it’s a hang-up I’m slowly getting over.

Expect to see more photos of me and my personal style here and there on Chicago Street Style, so you guys can get to know me and my point-of-view on fashion better!

*Interesting side note: This is the outfit I was originally supposed to wear for the search engine commercial. I chickened out because it was cold, but I was later told by my friend who styled me that I should have worn it anyway. Lesson learned my friends, lesson learned!
