I don't quite know what it was but I looked horrible or blurry in the vast majority of the pics taken of me on holiday. Doom! Perhaps it's the new camera - it's wonderful for closeups and landscapes but I don't quite know how to take proper pictures of people with it yet. The self timer function has a snazzy multiple shot option but I'm struggling to get the focus right on that setting. Ah well, it will come, I'm sure.
Here are a few outfit shots which are tolerable:
Dress - Uttam @ Dorothy Perkins, a bargainous £10 in the sale
Cardi - New Look
Sandals - Primark
Necklace - cobbled together from an old keyring
Dress - New Look
Espadrilles - Office
Hat - H&M men's department
Vest - Dorothy Perkins
Skirt - I made it!
Bracelet - Laura Ashley, a present from the wonderful Char 
Tshirt - Gap
Skirt - H&M
And just for comedy value, a pic of me hoodying it up:
Hoody - pinched from my dad.
Earrings - Accessorize
Sorry but you have great brows! :) Strange comment to make.
ReplyDeleteLove the bargain dress, and the hat.

Can I say how you are the only person in the world who looks beautiful in a hoodie? That maxi is stunning on you, too, in fact all the pictures are of you looking lovely. xxx
ReplyDeleteWith specs or without you're looking fabulous darlin'!

Your holiday destination looks like somewhere I could waste many a day, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that last pic of you in a hoodie you have huge doe eyes. When you see women in red hoods, normal people think little red riding hood; as another film freak can you guess what it means to me? (not that you look like her you understand):)

Horrible and Blurry - c'est moi! It's down to the photographer - honest. We, posing in our holiday attire feeling somewhat transcendental, floating on happiness and then the husband/partner/other
ReplyDeletepoints the camera and shoots and we are reduced to mere blurry, badly dressed overweight, middle-aged tourists.
