The day after Thanksgiving I was inspired to go out on a fierce solo shoot so I could show off these awesome vintage gauchos. I probably won't go off into the dirt hills of Plainfield alone again because I was on someones property and "agriculture" guys ride these dirt hills on the regular in their giant trucks. I don't know why I wasn't expecting to run into someone out there. So of course I'm standing there in this huge raccoon fur coat and in Jeffery Campbell Litas trying to set up my tripod in a good spot, when these guys fly over the hill in this huge truck... Thank baby jesus that I actually knew one of them because I was scared shitless. Pretty much because they could of robbed and killed me.
After that awkward encounter I didn't lose too much light and the cold was tolerable, these are some of my favorite shots.
Played around with this vintage Resistol western hat. If only I had a Horse the gaucho hat combo would have been on point! But I threw in the raccoon coat which I think brings the $ look.
Photography done by myself.
Grabbed these gauchos in Davenport, IA at Trashcan Annie's. Laura the owner told me that these gauchos were actually hers back in the day. I was flattered to have her sell them to me! Laura and I clicked so hard. She is like my fashion soul-mate.
Special thanks to my neighbor Gina for the raccoon coat! She had it in her garage sale and saw how much I loved it and just ended up giving it to me for my birthday. I'm not crazy about furs but this coon coat its flashy as hell, and I am into the good kind of flashy.
I realized that pretty much most of my photos are all full length body shots. After I post what I have to post from my looks I have already shot I will be sure to start capturing details and jewelry!
