I used to look at certain personal style bloggers and couldn't help but be jealous. Not necessarily of their outfits you see {ok who are we kidding about that}, but their courage in actually posing for pictures. It just seemed so scary. But then I did my own "shoot" in my new
Asos number and I didn't know why I was so worried. I am a natural!

| Oh hello...I didn't even realize the camera was on me for this.. that's how good I am |
In all seriousness, doing semi natural poses while showing off your clothes, handbag, shoes and the obligatory arm party all at the same time is difficult..and not normal! It's like if someone told you to get up on stage and belt out I don't know, a Mariah Carey song. Chances are that unless you are gifted in some way or completely in love with yourself, it's totally unnatural and is pretty effing embarrassing to put yourself out there like that. Obviously this wasn't a real shot at an outfit post, but I promise when I really do it...and I hope that it's soon...I will try
not to look weird or take myself too seriously

I love that floral dress!
ReplyDeleteI am OBSESSED with you. I feel the same way. I just can't do it. I am too painfully awkward. You girls looks so beautiful in that picture!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at your first picture! I feel the exact same way as you, it's so unnatural. Love seeing what you wore, the dress is gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone! I hate taking outfit photos. My husband doesn't know how to take ones that look fancy, and I always end up looking like I have the world's largest arms even though they're pretty average. Yours is great ;)
ReplyDeleteOmg hahahah. First of all, you're hysterical. 2nd, you look great and I want that dress. 3, you should do this more often!!! Xoxox
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why you're my favorite person on the PLANET! You are so fabulous, E! xoxo Annie
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!!!!! It's perfect - please make every outfit post like this because it really is way more accurate and natural than the model poses! Love the dress you both look amazing. You kill me. Hilarious.

Best OUTFIT POST EVER. HANDS DOWN. Work the blue steel darlin. From the looks of this photo, we are separated at birth. I know we are besties through steph, and if her personality says anything, you and I were meant for one another.
ReplyDeletein all seriousness, your outfit is banging, so I would say outfit post success!
