Snaps: Dark Seduction

Hey everyone! I hope you kicked off your week just fine. Mine went pretty okay. It's a typical Monday so the beloved and I did a bit of picture taking (we usually take photos on a Monday coz we have more time and we're not as tired as compared to other days). Also, I decided to come up with a new series called "Snaps," just because my beloved loves taking my photos. It may be (a bit) repulsive, I know, but my beloved loves hearing comments about his work, which is the main reason I'm posting them here.

This look seems to be a cross between Kim Kardashian/Nicole Scherzinger and Morticia Addams (maybe more Morticia Addams than Kim Kardashian/Nicole Scherzinger). That's a pretty interesting combination! Well, what I did was kinda like sultry-goth (can't think of a word to use) that's somewhat subtle. I don't know if that makes sense, but as you can see, that's pretty much how this look turned out to be, which explains the title, "Dark Seduction." I would have made my eyes look a little bit more sultry by adding black eyeshadow on the crease and outer V if I didn't have to work. As with the outfit, well, I couldn't find what I really intended to wear on the first day of the week. As a result, I slipped on this sexy black dress which I've worn only twice. I think the last time I wore this dress was sometime in August last year. I know it's not corporate looking in any way, what with the decolletage and all; so I adjusted and secured the neckline with a safety pin to keep it looking more decent than sultry.

Anyway, here are the photos.

If you could tell, this is the only photo that was shot under florescent lights.
