pardon my french.

i can't believe how quickly summer is flying by.
in less than two weeks, the minis will be back in school, and we'll have a whole new schedule to adjust to with mini-he in kindergarten. meaning, i'll actually have to get him to school on time. while we haven't been to the beach as often as i'd hoped, we seem to be doing a lot of evening activities like tennis and
8 pm swims in the heated pools. i'm liking the idea of still having fun, but without the hot sun.

in my attempts to familiarize myself with wordpress, i started a simple photography blog posting a photo (or two) a day. i love to take pictures, so it'll be a great place to share my non-fashion-related photos and learn the platform at the same time. i have no plans to switch this blog over, just curious. my initial thoughts on wordpress? a little confusing and not as user friendly
as blogger.

if you use wordpress, tell me your thoughts on the pros and cons, especially if you've used blogger before. and if you leave your email address, i might have some questions for you.

and lastly, if you're interested, you can
follow [oomph] photography here: rockoomph.wordpress.com.

(eight-sixty skirt; f21 sweater; JustFab bag c/o)

What a funny shirt. And the skirt is cute, too. Adjusting to kindergarden will be hard for the both of you at first, but then you'll adapt and find yourself with more free time.

I love your top. I cannot believe that it is already August. The summer is flying by.

Congrats on your new photography blog. I checked it out and it's marvelous. I'm on wordpress but I have never been on blogger. So I can't tell you any differences. Adorable look. The sweater is super cute. Wish you a wonderful Friday.

Good for you making a photog blog and on Wordpress ... I still cannot believe that I've not switched to WP yet. Love the stripes with your très chic Tee! xx :-)

welldressedmaker said...

I can't wait to see your photos, becks! And I really LOVE that sweater. It's so adorable with the striped skirt!

SpryOnTheWall said...

I've been seriously considering a switch to Wordpress, I made a mistake by enabling the Google+ comments (awful decision and I can't find an easy way to remove that option). And yes, literally a week until the first day of Kindergarden and the schedule adjustment is going to be brutal. Ugh.

Becks, that sweater is too cute! I love it girl! Also love that skirt. I keep hearing the same thing about WordPress. That's why I'm staying put. I have enough to figure out already. LOL I'm glad you are following your passion. That is so good.

Love your outfit...especially your skirt! I'm never used blogger, but I find wordpress very friendly, and I love using it. However my blog is self-hosted and I use wordpress.org.
If you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them if I can! :)

I can't believe school starts too - enjoy soaking up the last bits of summer!

Oh to Be a Muse said...

Gorgeous look! I can't believe the summer is almost over. I've always heard that wordpress was better than blogger, but I'm used to blogger and I like it so no real complaints. I do like your photography on the other blog though.

very cute look, but not sure many ppl can pull it off like you did! Also I love using Blogger not sure of wordpress

Unknown said...

I love the looks. As for Blogger vs. Wordpress.. I attempted a switch of my other blog "Mommy Hearts Coffe" to wp from blogger, and after a horrible flop, and dislike of having to pay for all of the useful widgets, and whatnot, i found myself back on blogger and attempting to make a new blog "Hipster and Cookies" http://www.hipsterandcookies.blogspot.com
