Daily MelWear: New Camera!!!

Hooray for Monday!

Well not really because I don't think anyone likes Mondays, but my new camera was delivered over the weekend and I kind of LOVE it! I'm so very thankful to Erin for recommending it (and to Elissa for agreeing with Erin's recommendation!) because even after just one day's use, I already love it. The pictures seem much cleaner and more crisp, plus it was extremely easy for me to figure out how to set up the timer. So yay!

This camera takes 10 photos in succession which was really kind of fun, hence more pictures than usual today. Maybe I can whittle them down or come up with different poses or something.

Okay so I have my MacBook and my new camera, all I need to get is a new tripod. I can work on that later. Yay for tax returns!

We had a really fun, really busy weekend filled with visiting family members, a surprise 90th birthday party and taking The Princess to see Mickey's Magic Show. Lots of good times!

How was your weekend?

Today's outfit
Dress: Ross
Purple Blouse: Stein Mart
Black Belt: Payless
Black Pumps: Target
Necklace: Can't remember (either Target or Charlotte Russe)

  6. The new pictures look great. I love the little flowers on your dress! What kind of camera did you get? If you really want an inexpensive basic tripod right now, try Kmart because mine was only $15.

  26. You look so happy in that first picture...too cute :)

    I have a gray dress similar to that, and I've done the sweater-over-the-top-of-the-dress thing, but I've never thought of putting a blouse underneath it. Obviously, I've been missing out, because it looks great on you!

    This Life, Redefined…stop by and say hi!
