Hiding Behing a Veil

Actually, that’s the outer layer of my skirt. I love the combination of purple and green. It reminds me of lavender, my favorite scent.

It was my dad’s idea to use my skirt as a lace mantilla, a spanish lace shawl. And since I’m the picture, obviously I didn’t take it myself, which is quite rare! As the family’s “official photographer,” I always say that it is the photographer’s fate never to be in any pictures. :D

Using this same layout, I made a cosmetics themed background for my sister-in-law. It was amazing how I could use the same basic background and layout and yet come out with a completely different look.
