When I saw Viki chatting with her friend Mary outside of Eskell on Milwaukee Ave, I couldn’t resist another go at playing with solar flare. Her striking features were highlighted by the beige slouchy sweater, which allows the focus to remain on her ring-encrusted hands and gorgeous figure. What I love most about this picture is how the fuzzy open knit weave of her top allows the sunlight to slice the most perfect outline around her body. As my photography skills evolve I’m becoming more obsessed with using light in prominent ways throughout my images, from rim lighting to solar flare.
*Thanks to my eagle-eyed friend, MidweStyle blogger Jeff Kieslich, Viki’s sweater has been identified as the Helmut Lang Scoop Neck Sweater.
My editor over at Refinery29, Shani Silver, summed up Sarah’s outfit more succinctly than I ever could. We all know how I like to ramble. You should probably click on over and read what she wrote! It goes without saying that Stella McCartney has pushed polka dots to the forefront of fashion this season, and Sarah shows us how to apply it to our everyday wardrobes without going overboard.
