the outfit | if i were not #1...

Outfit posts are becoming a technical difficulty.

Apart from the MAJOR stress of putting things together that:

A] Fit
B] Look Decent
C] Are Remotely Interesting in Terms of Personal Style
or
D] Do Not Make Me Look Like a Manatee...an OLD Manatee...

It is just a nightmare trying to gallump in a timely manner across a room from the-self-timer-button-being-pressed on the DSLR to being posed-and-viewer-worthily-snapped in front of the lens within 10 seconds, without having a hormone-induced meltdown and crumpling into tears on the floor while considering ACTUALLY kicking the tripod and said DSLR across the aforementioned room.

Issues.

I give up.

So. Let's take a different approach. One that enables me to play with clothes, play with camera and NOT dissolve into some angry, irrational, childish being who could do with a time out session on the naughty step.

Welcome to, "the outfit | if i were not pregnant, i would be wearing this #1..." [note: abbreviated for ACTUAL post title, not a fan of those big-ass long titles]

[bag: mulberry 'bayswater']
[blazer: acne 'black sweet']
[shirt: karen walker]
[trouser: karen walker 'pegs' boat pants from previous post]
[cuff: asos]
[shoes: kathryn wilson]

And it's chilly, so add the scarf-slash-picnic-blanket and the pale blue cable knit topshop socks that I'm actually wearing as I type.

And that's a lot of blue, so add a bright orange lip and burgundy nailpolish to the mix.

Thanks.

If you want to know what I'm actually wearing: scarf/picnic blanket, massive charcoal sloppy knit jumper, commoners_alike tee, pickaberry old ladies elasticated waist taper trousers in faux-linen and rolled at the cuff, topshop pale blue cable knit socks and tan brogues.

  7. Wow! I can't believe your pregnant, only dropped out of the blogosphere for a minute but blink and you miss it! Congratulations!

    Love this photo too by the way, and I agree, outfits are so much fun to photograph when you don't have to take vanity into account.

    Ps. I've just started blogging again, but I've moved to
    milkandmead.com, needed a new beginning.
