OOTD: Swap Till You Drop


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!

  3. These 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.

  4. I 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

  7. 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

  12. Thank 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
