No access to a photographer (husband is working late on my birthday - sad face) and hesitant to set my tripod up outside in its normal location, I went to the driveway with my camera safe in the garage. So it stayed nice and dry, and I made sure to rapid fire shoot these before heading off to get Guinevere from daycare at the end of the day. Thus, you get the shitty light, wrinkled pants and jacket, and flatter-than-it-was-this-morning hair.
Pictures are blurry as all hell (thanks fog/rain/dreary clouds) and the umbrella is definitely not my accessory of choice, but as this is a real life blog...well, this was my real life ;)
Fellow OOTDers - who takes your pictures? Yourself on a tripod or a friend/partner? Do you tend to take them before heading out for the day, or after work/school? Or, do you stockpile photoshoots on weekends and then post them later? Please share your secrets, oh wise ones.

Even with all the bad weather, you look great! Love that you let the jacket really stand out. Such a great color!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteLove. Love love love love! Favorite OOTD post ever! I love the umbrella, the blazer, and earrings, and just the natural look of it all. You are gorgeous! Do your neighbors ever question why you're taking pics of yourself outside? Not sure I'd have the guts to do that! haha
ReplyDeleteYES! OMG the house across the street (you can see his fence in these pictures) has offered multiple times to take the shots for me. And my house is at the entrance, so there is a LOT of traffic on my road, since my house is the exact turning point into the rest of the neighborhood. I am sure they all think I am a complete idiot - I always stop posing and pretend to look busy when cars drive by ;)
DeleteFound you from the link up! Green is gorgeous on you! Ive recently started using my tripod, but if my husband is home he normally takes the photos for me.
ReplyDeleteLucky - my husband's first circle of hell is being in pictures - second level is taking them ;) So I try to not ask him, ha.
DeleteThat green is gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. My hubby takes my photos, though I have attempted to use a tripod and remote and failed horribly. We both work from home, so we pick a day when we have stuff to do away from the office and shoot then. It rained all day yesterday, so we shot in the staircase of our apartment building. Not ideal, but we made it work :)
ReplyDeleteThat green blazer is fabulous, and the perfect touch of color for an all-black outfit.
Found you via the I Feel Pretty linky!
I have been seeing a lot of fashion posts with brightly colored blazers lately and now I really want one. The green really brightens your eyes, too!
ReplyDeleteGah! I was just at H&M not even two weeks ago, and I DID NOT see that blazer! Whhyyyyy?! Green is one of my favorite colors! Super sad face over here. It, of course, looks fantastic on you. Perhaps you can add it to your St. Patrick's Day outfit next month, eh? Earrings are perfect, too! Annnddd I see you were brave this day, and wore your wedding ring! Did it end up irritating you?
ReplyDeleteBlog hopping from WIWW - very nice and not messy at all. My son reluctantly takes my pics or I'll set up the tripod.
ReplyDeleteYou look a ton like Amanda Seyfried in these pictures. SO stunning!
ReplyDeleteyou look great girl! Love this outfit!

I usually have marathon photo shoots for my outfit posts. If my mom or my sister is available, they take the pictures. However, I have been known to whip out the self-timer if I really love an outfit and no one is around to document the outfit.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the emerald!!!! Those earrings are gorg too!! I was going to order something similar from Stella and Dot actually!! :)
ReplyDeleteI use my iphone for most of my OOTD pics and most of them are in the mirror in my work bathroom! haha!
Thank you! I LOVED the Stella and Dot ones but they were so pricey!
DeleteSo pretty! Love the green and I love that you did pictures in the rain! Great outfit. New follower from the style elixir hop!
