Yesterday, a coworker complimented me on my outfit and said that I always have great style. That made me think. Why don’t I ever do any outfit posts on here? Partly it’s because I’m not confident in my new size (I’ve gained some weight, but I’m working on my Operation J-Hud to lose it) and the fact that I don’t have anyone to take my daily outfit pictures. It seems that all of these fashion bloggers have significant others that take daily photos of them. Unfortunately, I do not. (That’s a whole other story)
Although I don’t normally do outfit posts on this blog, I have decided to try and incorporate more personal style pictures on here. So today I took some pictures this morning. I’m not trying to reinvent the fashion wheel, but I think I’m pretty good at putting some fashionable outfits together. I was also able to pull my hair back into a bun. If you have thick natural hair like mine, then you know pulling your hair back can take some mighty strength.

Side Note: Although I’m great at shooting others, I need to work on my photog skills when it comes to shooting myself!

Super cute, girlie!!! LOL!! I can just see you now, with that big, professional camera trying to get just the right shot of yourself. Keep posting outfit pics. You are doing great!
Thanks lady! I am trying. You do it so well!
Love the outfit. And I think it’s hard for people who are used to shooting pics of others so gracefully to in turn do the same for ourselves.
Thank you!! Yes it is hard to photograph your own self. I guess with practice I will get better.
Too funny! My friends always ask me why I don’t do personal style posts since that’s how they remember me. At least you have the fancy camera! I have the SO, but our schedules are so different, I can barely get a pic. sigh
Do you have a tripod?
Yep. I have several tripods and a remote. But indoor pictures can be boring. I love natural light.
