An Outfit Shoot Gone Wrong

Vintage pencil skirt • Striped tee by COS • Christian Di Riccio sandals 
 

I was in Venice earlier this summer, and being in Venice inspired me to create this outfit. All I need more is a straw hat and a gondola really. My red pencil skirt hasn’t gotten much wear during the heatwave we experienced throughout July and early august, but it’s back in full action now that the temps have dropped to the lower 20s again. I just love to wear this thing!

As I’ve been doing this style-blogging-thing for over 2.5 years now, I thought it was time you guys got a glimpse of what outfit shooting for me really looks like. When we go out to shoot an outfit, we usually take about 100-140 photos because I either am unable to come up with different poses or because I come up with way to many (awkward) different poses. Jumping krisskross-style, striking glamorous poses and fighting heavy wind blows is part of the warming-up routine. And of course, my photographers always like to document these funky moves… . Yeah. Not cool guys.

These photos were taken right after L and I enjoyed dinner on the pancake boat. pancakes and a scenic view? Yes please! I treated my taste buds to a warm blueberry jam pancake with three scoops of vanilla ice and  a whipped cream topping. It was sooooo good, apart from the fact that my stomach couldn’t really handle having dinner on a boat. I got so nauseous, that I needed a short walk along the quay afterwards to get a little relief. Since the scenery around the canal was so perfect and my headache was lessening fast, I couldn’t help but bring the camera out and get a few photos of my Venetian outfit for the blog. I hope you enjoy these happy outtakes as much as I did when I saw them first in my Photo Viewer.

Happy Monday!

    First off, that outfit is completely darling! LOVE it.

    Also- that is me too! Either way too many (mostly crazy) poses or all of three-> looking at my feet, back to the camera, or awkward smile at the camera pose. You are a cutie though with all the jumping about. I love your energy!

    Ah, the outtakes are so fun! 🙂

    Now I have a tripod and take my own photos with a remote, there are less outtakes, and I kinda miss that fun side sometimes! 🙂

    Really like this red outfit on you, just a shame you felt sick after your meal!

    I can definitely relate with the picture taking! I feel like there are only so many ways you can pose while still looking good. My boyfriend usually takes about that many pictures too and end up narrowing it down to about 6-8.

    Red is definitely your color!

    this just makes me so happy! I usually end up laughing so hard when my husband takes my photos that it's amazing if we end up with anything usable at all! (:

    I love to see these goofy photos! I also usually take around 100 photos since I end up looking so awkward in them! I am definitely jealous of the pancakes and scenery 😉

    Sometimes the silly poses are my favorite ones. 🙂 I like when Eric takes my pictures way better than using my tripod though, and I get less silly when he's around. Pros and cons, eh? You're adorable in this outfit though 🙂
