DUO COLOR BLOCK

Once a year, I'd like to dedicate at least one outfit post to a very special guest on this blog.  He is a supermodel in the making. I always call him as a little fashionable monster, a cuddle puff, or a chubby pie. At 3 years old, he already has 15 pairs of shoes, a wardrobe full of clothes, 10 pairs of sunglasses, and accessories. He first appeared on my blog when he was only 2 years old. You can view the photos in the previous blog entries (here and here) to see how well he posed. 

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you probably know who is this little "gangster" that I'm talking about. He is Miu- my extremely cute, smart, and adorable nephew. He loves wearing nice clothes and loves being photographed as much as his aunt does. That's why it's so fun to bring Miu out for a photo shoot with me. 

On the first day of Lunar New Year, we went to a park to have our outfit photos taken. The weather was not as freezing as it was supposed to be. I chose to wear a thin turtleneck sweater with sheer midi skirt and layered with a chiffon scarf and a tweed coat. Miu dressed in a V-neck sweater, denim pants, aviator sunglasses, and leather loafers. We were accidentally in color-blocking coordination. I wore white and burgundy (warm tone), he put on yellow and navy blue (cool tone). It took me a  while to get Miu to concentrate on the camera as he was distracted by the other kids running around. But once he started following me and my photographer's instruction, he was such a joy to shoot. 

This is by far my most favorite outfit post of the year because of him.  

Have you ever done a photo shoot with your kid, niece, or nephew before? Shooting kids is so challenging because they are so active and they don't really care what the adults are doing (lolz). How do you keep them to stay focused?
