The Out-Takes Post! {She Wore What}

I am often complimented when I post outfit photos. I’m vain so I like the feedback. Feed me, feed me ego style, you know. But the reality of it is that most of the time I have at least 50 photos to pick the 7 or so for the blog. I do this three times a week, at least. Sometimes things work and sometimes, well, they don’t. But given that I am pretty okay with unflattering and ridiculous photos of myself by now {refer the 50+ photos a post times three posts a week thing above} I thought I would share them with you. I’ve also started a file for future funny ones and as soon as I have enough for another post, I’ll share that too.

Keepin’ in real folks.

Well, as real as outfit photos where I have make-up on, my hair done (usually) and nicer than normal clothes on is real. A shiny version of reality, you know? As an aside, if you want a way to accept your appearance for everything you are AND everything you’re not, outfit photos are a great way to do that. I mention that because I met this gorgeous woman the other night. Seriously, she’s got THE BEST face, hair and skin and a cute little hourglass shape. She was saying she didn’t like anything about her appearance. All I could stutter out at first was, you have no idea how sorry I am to hear that.  Then I said she should try it. I told her that I got over being critical of myself after a while of taking photos of myself all the time. There just didn’t seem to be a point.

The proof, my friends, is in the ridiculous pudding. Enjoy.

And you thought it was all glamorous and stuff. You were wrong. Haha. 

The end.

  1. You’re gorgeous even in your outtake pics. I’m particularly fond of Peg Leg Suger and Crazeee Suger the most.

      Thank you Trudie. The CRAZEEEE Suger!? No one likes that one. Haha. Even Kel was like, errr, that one’s a bit much isn’t it? He was probably right. It IS but it’s ridiculous too.

    Nice pics. You got a lot more guts than me as I have only posted like two photos of myself in my blog. I know yours is a fashion/lifestyle blog. Mine is just random stuff, but I try to stay out of the pics unless I am forced too or have Yoda with me.

      Thank you. Not so much gutsy as necessary. You’re right, it’s a bit tricky to have a fashion’ie blog and not have photos of yourself. Haha. The Yoda rule sounds like a good one.

  3. HAhaha – these made me giggle! I love Rabbit and One-Leg!

      thank you. I think it’s important to reminder people that I chose the best of the photos. There are plenty that hit the cutting room floor. you know, if there was a cutting room floor.
