Summer Lookbook at Liberty University

Happy Summer Solstice!

Today's weather in North Jersey has been very hot and sticky, and now it's starting to storm like crazy as I type this blogpost (our tin roof makes it easy to hear the rain pitter-patter; so calming to listen to). It's true summer weather if ya ask me!

Speaking of summer, I thought it’d be fun to film a summer lookbook this year. I got the idea when I was still quarantined at Liberty University. When your university decides to switch all residential classes to online, prompting virtually 90% of the students to leave the campus, and you suddenly have a lot of free time on your hands with several dresses and spring/summer outfits in your dorm closet waiting to be worn, why not grab your Canon G7X camera and film a lookbook? It’s just what you do. (At least, if you’re an introvert like me who really likes to dress up but doesn’t want to draw attention to herself until there’s some world crisis to give her some nice solitude and creative rejuvenation *cue awkward laughter*).

The primary location for my video was inside a new community mailbox complex at the Hill residence. I’ve lived on the Hill residence for three years now, so I can attest that the complex wasn’t constructed until the beginning of this year. It provided the perfect amount of shade and light for my video and it even looked like a sort of runway. While I filmed, I felt a combination of a confident, runway model and a giddy girl who is simply excited to try on all her outfits and showcase them just for fun (you ladies know what I mean - putting on a little fashion show for your friends and family when you buy new dresses)!
