Photographing myself has been unsuccessful... Bad lighting, mirror too small, wrong lens? IDK... Any tips would be appreciated!!!!!!!! What I realize from doing this is that I can put together decent outfits... the hard part is the outfits being practical for a mama of 4 and all it entails.
Due to all of my photo challenges, I have had to enlist photographers....

I built this outfit around the tights. I got them at old navy on clearance while I was bday shopping...they were $2.49.
Normally, I would have put brown with this skirt as there is a bit of tan in the tweed... but my fashionista of a hubby and I both agreed that the grey looked good with the skirt. I would also wear boots or different shoes, however standing on cement floors all day ... only allows comfy shoes.

I think you got some good shots! I love your outfits. Checking on the gray cardi pic and your hair looks awesome in a headband. Go you! I am working on how to take self pics too, so I'm going to check back later to see if anyone leaves you good tips!
You look cute! I like the light blue cardigan! As for photos, I use a tripod and a remote shutter trigger. I have a canon dslr, by the way. It looks like you have good light on your porch. Those photos look good!
I love all of your cardigans! I have a serious obsession myself.
Cute outfits! I use a tripod, turn on all my over head lights on and never stand in from of a window. I have one good place in my house and that is where I take my pictures.
