The reason I usually never post pictures of myself on my blog is:
1. Neither my husband nor I are very good at taking pictures (he took the picture above... bad)
2. I am really self conscious about how unphotogenic I am (not fishing for compliments... I just know its true) I always cringe when I see pictures of myself so I don't like to put myself through that torture on a daily basis.
Anyways, I would like to start posting more outfit pictures on my blog so I need to get over my fears and also figure out a way for me to take the pictures. Today I decided to try my tripod and self timer. Not the greatest, but here is what I am wearing...
Blazer and sweater - Old Navy
Necklace - Kelly Wearstler (Christmas gift to myself)
Jeans - From a clothing swap
Boots - Target
Also here is a picture of me looking like a ghost ;)

I think you have done very well. All fears considered. I am not a happy bunny in front of the camera either. Xxxx
I love it...and your outfit!! It's nerve-wracking getting in front of the camera. That's why I haven't done it in a while, but it does get easier and also helps with simply accepting and loving how you look! YOU, my dear, look beautiful!
Self-portraits are very hard. It's a crazy combination of lighting, posing, setting, and luck. I think you look great and I like that you're using the tripod because it's easier to see all the details of your outfit. It'll get easier the more you experiment. I love that necklace, you always have the best jewelry.
Exciting! So happy to start seeing more of your pretty self on your blog! Also... LOVE that necklace! Jewelry is by far my favorite thing to buy!

Aghhhh! I like the quirky pic of you looking like a ghost! Its a bit scary putting a pic of yourself up. I just did it for the first time and I feel a bit funny about it!

I think you are doing a great job. If you are going to try to use the tripod put a full length mirror behind it so as you are posing you'll know how the picture turned out.
yay! Lovely outfit, when I started blogging I covered my face or chopped it off, later I got comfortable, seriously you don't even have to smile or anything like that, don't stress yourself you look great! =D Love that necklace!
I know exactly how you feel about the Tripod tried several times to take my own pics but n succes i just depend on others

Looks great! I can't wait for more. And what a great pair of jeans from a swap! Looks like they fit perfectly.
lovely outfit and I esp like your necklace! self portraits with a tripod is hard, getting someone to take pics for you is easier I find!
I know the feeling, I just posted my first outfit post. YOU DID GREAT, though!
cute
LOL. You're funny. My boyfriend takes my photos...I hate how I come out in .99% of them. Trust me, I delete a ton! That's the beauty of digital.
