Traveling With Camera Gear - Whats In My Camera Bag? - Duration: 14:31.
If you're like me - gosh - I hope you're not like me - my sympathies if you are like me
- anyway - when I pack camera gear for a trip, I'm a habitual over packer.
If I could fit the kitchen sink in a suitcase - believe me I would do it.
In this video I am going to share some hard learned tips and tricks for making air travel
with photography gear a little bit easier.
Traveling with photo equipment on airplanes is a pain in the ass.
Heck, travel in general is a pain but it's worth it to be able to visit and photograph
new and exciting locations.
As an Olympus Visionary and Photo Educator I travel frequently and that travel generally
requires flying with camera gear and computers and lighting.
I am frequently asked about the cases I use and what gear I take with me, so let's dig
in and I'll show you.
Be sure to stay tuned until the end and I'll share my top 15 hard learned tips to ease
the pain of air travel with camera equipment.
Ok, let me get this out of the way before I get too far into this video…
I have a bag problem.
For some people the problem is shoes, some it's hats, for me - it's bags.
I have a bag for just about any and every shooting situation that you could ever imagine.
Backpacks, wheeled cases, shoulder bags, sling bags, side load, top load, even vests that
carry as much as a bag, belt systems…. but when it comes to flying….
backpacks are the way to go for your camera gear.
Traveling with cameras in a backpack allows you to keep your hands free to manage your
checked luggage cases and the important stuff like boarding passes and even more important
- snacks!
My air travel backpacks of choice are made by Think Tank Photo.
My three go-to bags are the Think Tank Photo Urban Approach 15, the slightly larger Think
Tank Photo Airport Commuter Backpack, and my biggest, the Think Tank StreetWalker HardDrive
V2.0.
All three fit easily in the overhead bins of full size jets as well as the smaller commuter
jets.
The Urban Approach 15 and the Airport Commuter Backpack both fit comfortably under the seats
of both small and large planes.
I'll show you how I pack my bags in just a minute.
My lighting gear travels as checked luggage in a hard sided Pelican #1560 Case.
This case allows me to carry a four light studio with stands, modifiers and transmitters
and fully loaded it comes in at about 42lbs which is well below the 50lb maximum that
most airlines stipulate for checked luggage.
I'll show you everything that gets packed in the lighting case right after I show you
what's packed in my camera backpack.
Last but not least for air travel, I also use a Samsonite Hard Sided 24" Spinner Case.
This case will hold my clothing and toiletries as well as a tripod, led light wands and some
additional modifiers and props for my Fashion Portrait demos and workshops.
For a detailed item-by-item listing of what goes in my cases... be sure to visit my website.
You can click here - or also in the description below the video.
Let's start with the camera gear.
It is extremely important to be organized.
Create a system.
Know where things go - everything should have a place and everything should be in its place
unless you are actively using it.
Invest a few dollars in organizers and pouches to help you accomplish this workflow.
There are a few things that go with me regardless of which of the three backpacks I am traveling
with…
I carry one pouch with Power banks and charging cords for recharging phones on long days when
I haven't been able to plug-in.
A second larger pouch has all of my computer accessories - Power cords, dongles - thank
you Apple, SD Card Readers for both my phone and computer, HDMI and VGA connectors for
projectors and presentation remote controls.
A third bag has all of my camera cleaning supplies.
I also have pouches for spare camera batteries and spare AA batteries and memory cards that
allows me to organize them so that I can tell which ones are used and which ones are not
- in a glance.
I keep all of these accessories in pouches so that I can easily move them from one bag
to the next without forgetting something important.
And when I am in the field, the pouches make it very easy to identify the pieces of gear
that I am looking for.
If I am traveling light or for a short trip, I prefer the Think Tank Photo Urban Approach
15.
Generally the gear included will be two camera bodies - in my case the Olympus OM-D E-M1
Mark II's and also the little Olympus ToughTG5 - which is great for a quick snap or some
4K b-roll or vlogging footage for my videos.
Lenses will depend on the assignment or event, but almost always include the M.Zuiko 45mm
F1.2 PRO lens, the 12-100mm F4 PRO Lens, the 7-14mm F2.8 PRO Lens as well as the 60mm F2.8
Macro Lens.
For you full frame folks - that means that I am covered from 14mm - 200mm including Macro.
If it's an extended trip or depending on what I am shooting or teaching if I need a bit
more room - the Airport Commuter Backpack is the next choice.
All three of my bags have a computer pouch that easily handles my 13" MacBook Pro,
a mouse and an external solid state drive.
For lighting gear, I have my Pelican 1560 case outfitted with pre-cut diced foam that
makes it very easy to organize my lighting equipment.
This Pelican case has two wheels and a retractable handle making it easy to navigate with.
4 - Godox AD200 Pocket Flashes with the fresnel heads attached stand upright in this case
with ample padding top and bottom.
I also pack two of the bare bulb heads with bulbs and 4 LumoPro 7 and a half foot tall
compact light stands.
Two spare battery chargers with duck heads, and four mini ball heads as well as two umbrella
stand adapters for mounting the AD200's.
The case also holds two Wescott 43-Inch Optical White Satin Collapsible Umbrellas.
I also pack my Godox XPro Trigger and if I am teaching a workshop, I pack 5 additional
triggers so that attendees with any brand camera can shoot using my lighting.
A few MagMod accessories round out the kit.
I'm able to get all of this in the Pelican case and still come in under the 50lb weight
limit for checked luggage!
Remember you can see a detailed item-by-item listing of what goes in my cases... by visiting
my website.
Click here - or in the description below the video.
Most of the major airlines have a credit card program that comes with travel perks.
I fly with American Airlines whenever possible and with my American Airlines MasterCard,
I get my first bag checked for free and I get priority boarding which insures that I
will have overhead space if I need it.
If you travel frequently enough - don't forget to sign up for the frequent flyer mileage.
Even if you don't fly enough to earn free flights - many of the airlines allow you to
use the points as shopping credits or for magazine subscriptions.
TSA Pre✓ gets you expedited security screening benefits for flights departing from U.S. Airports.
If you are traveling abroad, Global Entry provides the TSA Pre✓ benefit plus expedited
US customs screening when entering the United States.
TSA Pre✓ is good for 5 years, costs just $85 and you can speed through security without
the need to remove your: shoes, laptops, liquids, belts or light jackets.
I've included a link to more info in the description below the video.
First and foremost - don't be a jerk - don't have an attitude and don't act like you
are the only person in the world who is suffering through the inconvenience of extra security
measures.
The TSA agents are just doing their job and because they are doing that job, air travel
still remains the safest form of transportation.
If the X-ray screener flags your bag for further inspection, don't try to pick up your own
bag to move it to the inspection area.
Just calmly tell the agent that the bag contains expensive camera equipment and you would appreciate
their care in handling the bag.
As the agent is unzipping the bag calmly ask them if you could at least explain to them
how to handle the pieces that they want to remove so that they don't touch or scratch
any sensitive surfaces.
Now, if you pack your bag properly, they will generally only take a peak and do an explosives
swab on the bag.
The agents who monitor the x-ray machines have only seconds to look at and identify
potential threats in a bag.
If you have everything packed one layer deep - it makes it much easier for the agent to
identify the bags contents and much less likely that they'll flag your bag for a hand inspection.
Obviously when we are out shooting we want a camera ready to go at a moments notice.
But for air travel - it is more space efficient to pack cameras and lens separately and if
you tend to overpack - it also limits the potential for damage being done to your lens
mount if the bag takes a hit.
For that same reason - I always load my camera bodies with the LCD in - never out.
Never check your camera gear or computers.
Clothing, toiletries, accessories and props, they can be replaced easily and inexpensively.
Camera gear cannot.
If you are traveling to do a job and your checked case with your cameras gets lost - you
are out of luck.
Like I said in the beginning of the video - I would pack the kitchen sink if I could.
You can never be too prepared.
Unfortunately that is just not practical when you are flying with camera gear.
Zoom lens are very helpful to limit the amount of gear that you need.
The same theory applies to clothing as well.
I have lots of shirts, and underwear and socks that can be easily washed in a hotel sink
and air dried overnight.
Remember that the airlines have weight limits on both carry-on and checked luggage.
Be sure to check your airline's website for the most up-to-date info but it is generally
50lbs for checked baggage and 40lbs for carry-on.
Trust me though - you don't want a carry-on bag that weighs 40lbs It is worth purchasing
an inexpensive travel scale like this one so that you don't find yourself having to
re-pack and possibly leave something valuable behind once you are at the airport.
I learned that one the hard way on a recent trip to St. Louis in early November.
It was in the mid 50's when I left Philadelphia and the entire weekend I was in St. Louis
the temperature never topped 35 degrees.
And wouldn't you know it - I was scheduled to do 2 demos outside.
Since then I've purchased a packable down jacket that folds up incredibly small so that
I can hang it on the outside of my backpack or pack it in my suitcase without having it
taking up a lot of space.
Don't take new shoes on a trip and don't worry so much about style.
When you are traveling, you are probably in for long days on your feet and you are not
going to do your best work if your feet are sore or suffering from blisters.
This goes along with the 'be organized" philosophy of packing.
I use an app called TripIt to keep all of my flight, hotel and car reservations organized
so that I have access to everything right on my phone at any time.
TripIt also allows me to check-in for my flight and then I can store my boarding pass in my
Apple Wallet.
I also keep the airline apps and hotel apps on my phone to allow easy communication and
check in along the way.
Don't forget the Uber and Lyft apps for transportation and of course Apple or Google
Maps for those times that you're renting a car.
If you do a lot of driving away from home - I highly recommend the Waze app which uses
crowdsourcing to help you avoid construction and delays and ultimately saves you a lot
of driving time.
I should also remind you about the importance of planning your shoot so don't forget the
apps that I mentioned in this video for help with that.
I use these bright orange luggage tags that I found on Amazon and my Pelican case has
this bright red electrical tape that I've outlined it with.
My bluish gray suitcase is not the most popular color and combined with the orange luggage
tag - it makes it easy to find on a loaded luggage carousel.
It is important to lock your checked luggage.
Be sure to use approved TSA locks so that the agents can access the bag if it's flagged
for a security check.
If you use a non TSA approved lock - they have the legal right to simply cut the lock
open.
Hopefully this is something you have already done long before you think about flying.
If you are serious about your photography and don't have insurance yet… consider
joining PPA - Professional Photographers of America.
The annual membership includes $15,000 of equipment insurance, which is worth the cost
of membership and PPA has excellent learning resources available to all of its members.
TSA regulations require that spare lithium batteries must be packed in your carry-on
luggage.
It is ok to leave the batteries in the gear in the cases that you are checking.
Just make sure your extras are in your carry-on.
This should be a no-brainer.
At the end of each day I transfer my files to my laptop and then from there make a copy
to a portable SSD drive and then to the cloud.
Depending on how long I'm traveling and how much I'm shooting I'll wait until I return
home to format my cards, but if I need to re-use the cards on a trip - once the images
exist in three locations, I have no problem reformatting the cards.
So There you have it - my travel gear and tips.

Creep Drags 12-Yr-Old To Back Of Car, Then Boy Remembers Parents' Life-Saving Advice - Duration: 3:13.
"You never think something like this is going to happen"
Police are commending a young boy and his parents after the brave way he fought off
a potential kidnapper recently.
Twelve-year-old Duncan Jensen was walking home from his cousin's house in Centerville,
Utah, when a stranger in a nearby car called out to him and asked, "Hey kid do you want
some candy?"
Recognizing the danger, Duncan politely answered, "No, thank you," and tried to cross the
street, but the stranger jumped out of his car, grabbed Duncan, and started dragging
him back by his shirt.
It was a terrifying moment for the young boy and Duncan's mind raced as he tried to figure
out what to do.
That's when he remembered some advice his parents had given him.
"We say if you get to the point where you think you may be taken, we want you to punch,
bite, scratch, you do whatever you can to get away from whoever is trying to take you,"
Duncan's dad, Jerry Jensen, said.
Thankfully, Duncan had been playing with his keys while he walked and had the key ring
in between his knuckles.
When his abductor looked back at him, Duncan took the opportunity and punched him.
"He said, 'When the guy looked back at me, Dad, I just – I gave it to him,'"
Jerry recalled.
"The guy dropped.
My son just took off running up towards the park."
Duncan ran to a nearby park and hid behind some rocks.
His would-be kidnapper followed in the car and pulled into the parking lot, but drove
off a short time later.
Duncan stayed hidden for about 30 minutes until he felt safe, then raced home and told
his parents what had happened.
They were horrified, but also incredibly thankful that Duncan had made it home alive and unharmed.
"You never think something like this is going to happen and it will.
It does," Duncan's mom, Tenisha Jensen, said.
The Jensens are glad Duncan remembered what they had told him and fought back against
his kidnapper.
"He's a stud," Jerry said.
"He's a tough kid," Tenisha added.
"He's been through a lot.
That was his instinct kicking in."
Now the Jensens are urging other parents to talk to their kids about what to do if – God
forbid – something like this ever happens to them.
"There's 1,000 different scenarios that could have gone differently," Jerry said.
"One little thing could have gone wrong and be a different story.
We don't even want to think about."
Police are now looking for the man who tried to take off with Duncan.
The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s with blond hair and a tattoo on his
neck.
At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black shirt and blue shorts.
His vehicle is described as an older sedan, possibly a blue four-door model.
"We have increased our patrols in the area before and after school and have informed
Davis County School District," police said in a statement.
"Officers conducted an initial canvas of the neighborhood, no one that we spoke with
witnessed the incident."
Help us spread this important message to other families so their kids stay safe!

Know Your Value As A Trades Business Episode 1: Having Business Liability Insurance - Duration: 6:52.
Know you value as a trade business
Episode 1 Crowbar
Have I mentioned
that it's my job
to help trades business owners grow and scale?
Because I'm a business coach for the trades businesses and builders
and I help you grow and scale and put systems and structure in place so that you can do that.
I saw a post on carpenters Talk group on Facebook
recently where a guy told an amusing, a quite funny story and a cool story I thought about
how he had an accident at work and damage someone's expensive car.
He dropped a crowbar, off some scaffolding onto a Bentley and he calls £30,000 of damage to the car.
I asked his permission to use this story. His name is Morgan, (he kinda gave it)
So Morgan, I'm going to tag you in this.
It's a good example of the value that are good and a kind of well structured trade business can bring
to you customers. I mean that's specifically to your customers.
The upshot of the story is that despite taking
or you might consider reasonable precautions, an accident still happened.
He was up on scaffolding, wasps came out when he crowbarred some timber off the fascia,
made him jump, he tripped,
this crowbar fell that is kind of miracle bounce from the bottom of the scaffolding and hit the Bentley.
Bentley subworth £150,000 and the damage to be fixed to the paintwork and the bodywork was £30,000.
Luckily Morgan added insurance - public liability insurance
which paid out so he paid his excess of £150,000, everyone's happy.
The car is fixed, the customer's happy, Morgan can go on with the job
and it's all gone alright. So what's the lesson?
It's easy to imagine I think that the lesson is get your insurance.
It covers you and of course
that isn't a nice lesson and a nice outcome from this but I think that's really it.
Accidents happen.
We all know that accidents happen no matter how careful we are.
No matter how many precautions we take, accidents can still happen
and anyone who tells you otherwise I think is a liar.
They still happen. It's a building site. It's a dangerous place, stuff goes wrong.
It's the lesson about the insurance and how it protect you well, it is. Morgan was protected
and he did well to protect himself. But I think the real lesson is about how the insurance protected
the customer.
The customer hired a building business that does it properly.
He hired a building business that invested in the appropriate
insurance as well as taking the right precautions.
They took care as well. But even though the accident happened,
the car got fixed, everything went smoothly the customer got protected, and this is what
I want you to take home. Let's think about what might have happened
if the client had chosen a different building company, if he'd chosen one
who didn't do quite so well and properly.
That's what he didn't have - the public liability insurance.
Do you think his job would be finished?
I think not. He'd probably be in court
fighting to get his car repaired by someone who didn't have insurance to pay £30,000
so he'd have to fund it himself. He'd be probably fighting to get the guy to admit liability,
probably fighting perhaps even in court to get him to pay up
if they got found liable in the small claims court and they might have assets in the business,
they might know if they don't have assets for him to gain and might have to wind the business up
so he probably would still be going through a very sh*tty process. He still have a broken car,
he'd still be fighting to get his money out of the liable builder and he'd still be
probably wouldn't have a finished job because they'd have fallen out because of all this fighting.
Terrible experience for the customer was prevented
by the fact that Morgan had his insurance and have done it properly.
And that's what I want you to think about.
That's what your clients are paying for when they take on a reputable structured
business in trades business, building business whichever.
A reputable and structured who is doing it properly compared to what they might get
if they take on somebody else (perhaps cheaper).
That's what they're paying for. When they pay the extra to get you,
they're getting things like the fact that you're properly and appropriately
insured. I know use the insurance as an example. It's only an example of course but
I'll use more of these. I'm going to write more of these in the run to Christmas and January
about the things that set you apart from the cheap guys.
The back of the van, trades who
I know are frustrated because I see on Facebook that you're all frustrated by the guys
not doing it properly and it's those guys that are a bigger risk to the customers.
And the point I want to make for you is your customer doesn't know that.
Your customer won't know
that you're insured appropriately and the other guy is or isn't might or might not be.
They don't know to ask that question.
It's up to you to point this stuff out.
And as a business coach of a trade, that's part of what we do. Part of our program
is working out - you working out what your value is or what value you bring
to your customers. And mostly it's about protecting them from
misfortune and risk of things not going so well
and that's really what I want you to get your head around.
It's your job to tell them. It's your job to point it out. It's your job to run it home and make them compare you
to the other people and ask the question so they understand why you're different and they understand
why you're a lower risk or why hiring you protects them from the bad outcomes.
Your first job is to get yourself clean. In my program we'll go through a process of figuring out
why you're different, why are you better.
Insurance is one of them.
So in my program that's what we do.
"Are you clear?" is my Christmas question to you or my December question to you.
Are you clear on what makes your business different and better?
If you're not, I may help you. I'm a coach, you could join my program.
If you think you might want some help, book a 10-minute chat. There'll be a link below.
If you're not ready for a 10-minute chat,
I'm running on workshops soon so you can book yourself on the next one.
Or you can just continue to get these emails and watch my tips until you're ready.
Happy Days!

Ghost Photo Prank | Science Behind Brain Patterns - Duration: 2:00.
They say seeing is believing.
A man asks someone passing by to take his picture.
Can you please take a photo of me?
Yes, yes.
But then shows them a prank photo he took earlier.
What, what is this?
Who's that?
Are you kidding with me?
I'm not kidding, I'm afraid.
What, what's this?
This gag freaked me out.
Yeah, nothing works better than the old fake ghost in the picture trick.
Let me take one more.
She's there again.
This is so crazy.
This is unbelievable.
This is a great example of how your brain looks for patterns, and when the pattern is
broken, then all bets are off.
The rules of physics don't apply, people showing up, ghosts.
It's all acceptable.
Okay, thanks.
Very good.
What is this?
That's weird.
I didn't see any girl there.
What, what is this?
What's that?
Is that a ghost?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
What made me laugh is how quickly certain people ran away, leaving the person they took
a photo of to fight the zombie on their own.
Oh my god.
I wouldn't run away because there's so many questions I would want to ask a ghost
like, "What's it like?
Can you go through walls?"
I don't personally believe in ghosts but I would still run.
I'm kidding.
We have a camera here.
This is the picture you took and this is the picture.
Thank you so much.
Thank you
Thank you.

Holiday Outfits for Women over 40 | Budget Friendly Haul - Duration: 11:24.
Hi guys! Today we are bringing you a video about- guess what? holiday outfit so
It's that time of year! I know! Super excited about this. This is the time where we get to be fun
and creative and kind of get to wear as much sequins as possibly allowed by law.
This is my favorite time of year but it's also a time when we're really
looking for lots of different looks because typically it's not one holiday
event that we're going to but it's kids school plays and
office parties and neighborhood get-togethers and church services so we
need a variety of holiday looks and sometimes it's everything from dressy
casual to more dressed up. So we decided to go out there and do some
shopping. These are actually looks that we're gonna be using throughout our
holiday season for the different events that we're going to and share with you
guys what we found some great ideas for all those different holiday parties. So
my husband came home and told me that he has a holiday party for work which is
super fun but also a little bit stressful. What am I gonna wear? What am I
gonna pick out? So went and did some shopping and I found this really pretty
emerald green midi dress at Express. I just love the color. It has tiny little
spaghetti straps and a nice slit in the front. I feel like when I tried it on it was
form-fitting but not overly form-fitting where I had to worry about every single
bulge you know hanging out and where I would need like 10 different layers of
spandex to home me in so yeah. And I paired it with some gold high heeled
shoes and a gold bracelet and a gold clutch and I'm off and ready to go. Yeah I
love this look. Love that color that jewel tone green is so pretty and I think
that fabric is just a really good fabric kind of like holds everything in but
it's still sexy and really pretty. I think he's gonna be really proud to show
off his beautiful wife. So for me my first look is for a
Christmas cocktail party that we have going on and I also went with a dress
for my first look. Dresses can be a bit tricky for me. I don't always love
dresses but I found this one which happened to be faux wrap which is
definitely my go-to either a wrap dress or a faux wrap dress. It's a faux wrap
dress in this red fabric. It's got a little bit of stretch but because of the
faux wrap it definitely like conceals and kind of like highlights the waist a
little bit and I like that it had some longer sleeves.That's definitely
something I prefer. It's shorter in the front and a little bit longer in the
back so I just felt like it was the color was perfect for the holidays it
was a flattering fit and I really like that faux wrap so this one was
you know something I felt comfortable in and I think it's a great holiday dress.
Absolutely! And the red, oh my gosh, it looks so good on your coloring and I
definitely agree with you the fit was really flattering especially with the
wrapping. We've talked before whether it's a dress, whether it's a shirt,
whether it's a sweater, if it's a wrap it is flattering on most figures so
really really love it. Yeah I'm not someone who typically goes for like
that figure-hugging type of dress but I feel like when you
have some kind of ruching or wrap or something that really helps to create a
little bit more of a waist because I'm a bit rectangular in the middle so I
really like that kind of fit. So yeah this one was great and I also paired it
with same gold heeled sandals the the gold clutch bag a nice gold chunky
bracelet. I feel like you know gold or any kind of sparkly jewels are really
something that you reach for during the holiday kind of dresses everything up a
bit So and the next look is something that I wanted to show you guys for what
I'll probably be wearing honestly to my daughter's winter concert performance at
school. I paired a sequined really pretty cami top that I picked up at
Express with a black blazer and black jeans and the same gold sandals
again and the same gold clutch. Really love this. I feel like it's
simple but yet also kind of pops it up a notch for
the holiday season so you're not out there in complete sequins from head to
toe but just right now a little smack just enough and I really loved how this
one has multicolored sequins. I really really love
that because there's so many different color combinations and you can pair with
either with gold you could also have green, there's some
red, yes it's really pretty. I love this like dressy
casual look because I feel like a lot of events are more dressy casual you know
if you're going to like a neighbor's potluck or something for the holidays you
don't always necessarily need to be in a dress so this kind of like takes
the jeans up a notch and you know really all you need to add is that sparkly
camisole and it's just jeans and a blazer. Exactly. So my next look was also
my dressy casual look and I'm probably gonna be using it for the same reason,
which is my kids school play and this one was just like a silky camisole that
I picked up at Express and this beautiful like, I don't know if it's kind
of like a brighter wine, a little bit like fuchsia type of color, but I thought
it was a pretty holiday color and I threw it on with my cream colored blazer,
some dark denim this time I went without distressed to try and dress it up a
little bit and same gold high heeled sandals, same gold clutch, threw on a gold
layered necklace and I felt like it was dressy enough to be a little something
special for the holidays but still not you know overdone over dressed because
it's not really an event that I have to be super dressed up for but you
know this is how to do dressy casual for holiday. Exactly, yeah no I really really
like that outfit and I thought it was perfect. Honestly for me I could see
myself wearing it on like New Year's Eve and also I know it came in another color
that she was debating on which was this beautiful emerald green
color so that's another option. Yeah I certainly will be picking that up as
well. I liked all those bright jewel kind of colors and I feel like the the bright
emerald green would be beautiful for Christmas but this fuchsia it's funny it
still kind of look like a nice holiday color but not your traditional. Yes I
really enjoyed that as well. It's great for New Year's even and
one that you can wear you know after the holidays are over with. That fuchsia is
just so pretty. And for my last outfit I also picked up from Express this really
pretty burgundy velvet jumpsuit .Now loved the jumpsuit. I really loved the fact
that it had like the little sweetheart neckline and this is one that I think that you
can wear it whether it's like a Christmas you know date night with a
hubby or also a New Year's Eve or to a holiday cocktail party. I found that there was definitely enough support throughout the jumpsuit you know
sometimes if you don't have straps you might be a little bit wary
in that area and I felt like it definitely felt very secure on there. No
extra duct tape or anything. No that was really pretty and I again love the color
love like you know the holidays is really when you can get into the velvet
and the sequins and things that you probably wouldn't wear the rest of the
year somehow holidays and it's like, bring on the luxurious fabrics and it's
just really pretty. Oh and then again also paired it with
the gold shoes and the gold bag so yeah getting a lot of use out of the gold accessories.
Exactly, absolutely and how about you? I actually went for a
jumper as well and I'm actually going to be wearing this jumper probably on
Christmas Eve with the family. So we usually do Christmas Eve Mass and then
go to my sister-in-law's for the holidays and I like a jumper because
usually Christmas Eve you know doing a lot of like up and
down getting the gifts passing them out to the kids and stuff like that and I
find when I wear a dress I'm have to be like so careful you know when I'm
getting down picking up presents and passing them to the nieces and nephews.
So a jumper is gonna be great, like I'm definitely excited to have a jumper this
year. So this is an all-black one that I found at Banana Republic
but I liked some of the details it has like a little bit of like a tuxedo
detailing on the side that's like silky so it's really subtle. I hope it
comes out on camera but this little dressy detail it's got the the tie waist
which I love and I threw on my leopard pumps you know so had to have a little
something going on ,a little pop of something, but again you
could throw it on with you know metallic shoe or something like that
and I used just a plain black little gold chain bag with it and kept it kind of
simple but really comfortable.I felt like it was just like a really elegant
Christmas Eve kind of look and I usually do try to kind of coordinate the family on
Christmas Eve and I feel like well I'm in black like now anything goes you know
it'll be easy to coordinate. Yeah absolutely and I think that the jumpsuit
really helped to elongate your body as well I mean you're only about almost five
four but you know just the way that it
fit your body it really helps you to look like you were six feet tall.
You've gotta love those those long legs on the pant that are
kind of flowy because and you can put you know a heel with it and you really
can't tell exactly that you're wearing these high heels that are really making you look taller so gotta love that! So true. Well that is it.
