Hello again lovelies! I'm excited to share with you all some pictures from an attempted little blogging shoot with the lovely Angelika Blogs. What a lovely day it started off as, but due to unforeseen tragic weather the shoot was cut drastically short (after only these three photo's haha).
Despite the random hail that ensued moments after this was taken, I can say there is something simplistic and authentic about doing a blog post with a limited selection of photos. It feels more natural, less over worked, and is really a bit more candid. I normally feel like I have to take 10000 photo's to find 1 I actually enjoy or want to post. We will have to credit Angelika here for her amazing photo taking abilities, because although these aren't perfect, and given the opportunity I likely would have taken more options, she captured the outfit and my mood beautifully which really is the point of this kind of post.
Rather than being apologetic or editing out pictures like this one, which are clearly a bit more candid, unposed and slightly awkward I get to share photo's that represent me in reality. Although admittedly these pictures still don't show the true extent of how messy my life is :P. I definitely think this experience has taught me to value even the slightly imperfect and candid moments of life and not to shy away from sharing them.
Because the truth is I was really feeling my outfit on this day. I felt great and that shouldn't be diminished because I don't have the "perfect" content to reflect that. It's great advice for anything you want to do, don't hold back or wait for the perfect moment or perfect photo's because it doesn't exist and there is something powerful and raw in imperfection. It's ok to own that! I held off for a long time on creating a blog because I don't own a nice camera, and don't have tons of time as a student, and many other seemingly silly reasons. I'm so happy I finally did it because non of those excuses have disappeared I just chose to work around them! Also, I am sporting a grey turtle neck from Saks 5th Ave here (these turtlenecks are amazing I own them in a few colours and they are very soft and last forever) and layered on top is a culotte jumpsuit from Topshop.
Big thank you to Angelika for the lovely pics and the even better company! She is lovely and if you aren't already reading her content check it out! http://angelikablogs.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/first-blogger-event-what-i-wore.html

You can't give me all the credit girl, I took test shots and and you totally worked it. I completely agree though, too often we strive for perfection when in actual fact, imperfections are so much more beautiful and unexpected than 'perfection'. I mean what even in perfection. It's a concept. It's always changing, dictated by the society. Today is big boobs tomorrow it's small boobs. It's unstable. Imperfection is so much more beautiful. Lots of love xoxo
