Stuff I wear for drinks with Steve

I enjoy looking at how other people dress, how they mix and match patterns, fabrics, accessories etc. I have tried getting Steve to take photos for outfit posts but was always left feeling like an utter plonker posing for them. Anyway, last night I bit the bullet. Cue awkward looking photo of me...




After a drink too many, I am suffering horribly and have a children's party attend with Ben- wish me luck!xxx

    1. Do you think it gets easier over time? It doesn't help that Steve kept giggling and telling me how stupid I looked!He's a charmer.x

  8. Aw, good luck! I really love your outfit. I really like the print and the colored tights. Taking outfit pictures is always awkward I think but after awhile it becomes easier :]

  9. You look gorgeous! Those colors suit you perfectly {and I adore the lipstick}
    I have talked with some other bloggers about photos because we were having the same problem, and they all say you need to take a lot of pictures...the key is to not to put pressure on yourself by feeling like you must strike the perfect pose in one or two snaps (in fact, its generally the attempt at posing that ruins a picture). If you take several, eventually you'll relax and catch something you will be happy with. Another trick is to have the person taking the pic talk to you-- its hard to concentrate on posing if you are having to answer a question! Of course, having a daughter who enjoys taking pictures is also a plus~*

    1. Yes, I've seen your lovely photos. We took about 7 photos and believe it or not, this was the best of the bunch! I only managed about 20 seconds before the cringe factor became overwhelming.x

  15. Oh no kids parties and hangovers do not mix!! Hope you survived! I hate posing for photos hence the reason there are no photos of me on my blog. After reading everyone's tips on here I might have another go. There's some really good advice. P.S. Please please please can you tell me where your playsuit is from. It's lurvly. x

    1. Give it a whirl, you can't look dafter than me! Playsuit is from good old TK Maxx for £14.99, I justified the purchase by convincing myself that I can wear it with flats in France when we go in the summer too.x
