Those who know me well know how much I admire the beautiful fashion styling of Wendy Nguyen of Wendy’s Lookbook– her images are simply breathtaking, and her personal story of growth and achievement is nothing short of inspiring. During the lovely breakfast with my BFF (here!), Col encouraged me to try recreating some of WN’s looks, knowing how much I admired them so. Excited for the opportunity to play around with my favorite statement pieces and to further practice with outdoor lighting, I jumped on the challenge. The following image sets depict my humble take on looks created by Wendy herself. Despite my inexperience, I did have a lot of fun putting these looks together.
Thank you, Colleen, for sparking the idea, and for always getting me to try new things. :) And Wendy, if you ever read this, thank you for the amazing work you do and for your perseverance. The world is a better place for having you both, girls. (Oh, and a BIG thank you to the Mr. for helping me shoot the difficult angles!).
Please enjoy, and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!
