Woman Child

I love this shoot for many reasons. One is that it's showing this pretty grown-up looking girl surrounded by dolls and teddy bears. She's stuck between two worlds. Which is sad and something that I can't relate to at all--not be facetious considering I'm 23 and live with my parents... oh God, just writing it is depressing. Moving on. 

Another reason I like this is her makeup and hair! Pretty pink lips and curly hair. I like the bun shots as well--they're so in right now. 

And I love the use of jewelry. I've been stumped lately because I have this slinky floor length black dress to wear for an  upcoming event and I have NO IDEA how to style it. I don't want to go too traditional because I don't want to date myself, but it is a formal event so I'm not sure how much python print would fly. It occurred to me when I was brainstorming the other day that green earrings might just do the trick--think Angelina Jolie at the Oscars in 2009--so I'll be on the look out for that. My point being that this girl is wearing a black dress and awesome green earrings as well. So perhaps I'm on the right track.

If anyone has any other styling suggestions, I'd LOVE to hear them!
