Mirror, Mirror

Last week, I showed you my everyday outfits, and it was a pretty popular post.  My sister actually emailed me to ask if I can do a regular feature, so I will definitely try!  One thing I haven’t had is a full length mirror, which is really helpful for taking outfit shots.  But, after a torrential downpour last Friday morning, the sun came out and Ryan was kind enough to watch the boys for a bit while I got out of the house.  I was home all week with Rhys while he was sick, so I desperately needed a bit of quiet time by myself.

And guess what I found on the cheap at my local Goodwill?

It’s exactly what I need for quick photos, if a little warped.  I should work on the angle and my phone’s camera is not the best, especially after being dropped fairly frequently.  I can also try using my DSLR, but that’s pretty difficult, I think.  But I promise to practice photographing myself so I can document more of my regular outfits.

Now that it’s practically summer, I’m favoring my skirts and dresses again, so I’m planning a post about that.  Here’s a sneak peek.

If you look closely, you’ll notice that I’m wearing the same blouse in both pictures, in a different pattern.  I really do prefer a uniform, and both of these tops come from Anthropologie.  I’ve decided to take a break from that store for a while, and I’ll tell you more about it soon.

I still need a bit of practice with this self-photo stuff, and I’ll keep trying.  But feel free to suggest outfit ideas or things you’d like to see, and I’ll be happy to oblige!
