How cool is this setting? I took my DSLR out for a spin the other weekend and my sis kindly took these atmospheric shots... I LOVE how cloudy the sky is! What I don't love as much, is that it started hail stoning from NOWHERE and we got soaked!
One of the main things I love about blogging is finding a cool location and playing around with photography. I am very lucky to have my own amazing camera, but it's still tricky getting a good shot! I've never had a problem with having my photo taken, but it's definitely different "posing" for blog photos. I don't want every post to look the same, but it's very easy to stick to the same poses without realising! :-/
My outfit is made up of pieces that I got from our Rock On Ruby Clothes swap back in February! I LOVE my new hat (I have a slight hat obsession) which I got from Jen from EnglishRoseFromManc and my totally on trend denim pinafore dress, which I think was from Ashleigh from PrettyGirlRich. I teamed this with some Primark faves: My shoe boots, Striped top and knee high socks!
*This is definitely not a regular blog pose! ;-) But I saw my friend driving past and got a bit excited! Haha!
* So, I uploaded this pic of my legs THREE times and every time it looks fine and then I posted it and my legs turned orange...?? Not sure why! the mysteries of Blogger!
What do you think of my outfit from our Clothes Swap?! Has it made you want to get involved in a Clothes swap sesh?

What a great outfit, perfect for spring! The location is great too, really like the moody skies, such a Manchester thing!
ReplyDeleteThese are some amazing shots, Holly! Your camera is really good as well, the photos are of pretty stunning quality. Are you using a portrait lens? Also, love the pinafore, we need to do a photo together wearing all our denim haha.
ReplyDeleteI love that pinafore Holly! What a cute outfit. I have just purchased a similar striped Tee from Tesco and I see it's going to be a new staple of mine too... And yes, loving the cool location. I don't think people realise what a stuggle it is finding good locations and half decent weather. At least you got your shots done before the hail stone! =D

Love the location Holly, and the socks and boots combo! I know what you mean about posing for outfit pictures, I'm very guilty of doing the same pose over and over again.. I need to practice in front of the mirror first! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I feel daft posing in front of the mirror, but maybe it's the way forward! Haha! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thanks for stopping by! xx
ReplyDeleteWill do! :-) Thanks for your comment xx
ReplyDeleteI am stripe-obsessed right now!! Woops! :-S I need to head to Tesco I think, keep seeing bloggers in amazing clothes from there! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I owe it to my sis, she's a bit of a perfectionist :-D I have a 50mm lens but I think she did have it on a portrait setting for these, which I don't normally. I'm definitely up for a Double-Denim photoshoot! Haha! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! My bargain outfit, didn't cost a penny! <3
ReplyDeleteAhh thanks Tash! :-) It's not the most glam location, but pretty cool I think!? xxx
ReplyDeleteLoving the denim dress. And those burgundy socks are such a gorgeous touch x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the denim dress, the socks & hat just make it look even nicer! Always wish I could wear these types of dress but my chest doesn't fit in them :( xx
