I read Catherine's post When You Hate Photo's Of Yourself the other day and it made me think of these pictures.
These pictures were taken an age ago, in fact well over a year ago.

I remember back when I was going over the images I was thinking there was no way I was going to post these online. I kept them even though I had no intention of posting them and then I thought, why? What is actually wrong with them. Absolutely nothing that's what.

I totally understand what Catherine means in terms of control,

"The picking out of these photos this week got me thinking about when you DON'T have control over which photo of yourself is chosen"
I think a lot of people feel this way, I know I certainly do.

Outfit | 2017

One thing I've been wanting to get back into is outfit photos, even though they're not always the best I really enjoy doing them. I think I kind of gave up when it came to winter one year and I've struggled to get back into doing them. Mostly from laziness but also because I lost all my SD cards and had to replace them a few weeks ago, plus the weather hasn't been great.

Even though these photos were taken ages ago, I'm hoping that it's the start of more outfit posts. I've already been out to shoot the next outfit!

Outfit | Casual

I did say I would try to do more outfit photos, so here is a quick casual outfit that I wore on one of my little shopping trips.

Outfit | Side Zips

Well, well, well! I haven't done an outfit post since Blue/Grey way back in April. I've been being super, super lazy with outfit photos recently.

I actually made an effort to take some photos a couple of weeks ago so I'm hoping to try to start doing them on a more regular basis. Also on another note, I'm off on holiday tomorrow!

Outfit | Blue/Grey

There's a massive difference between these four photos, the top two were taken with my new Nikon D3300 and the bottom two were taken with my Samsung WB100.

After debating about buying a DSLR for a couple of years I finally decided to just do it, and I bought my Nikon back in January from John Lewis. I haven't used it a lot to be completely honest (I've used it a few times) but I want to learn more about it. I've just started an online class to help me learn more about my camera and what it can do, I'm only on lesson one at the moment but I'll update you on how it's going.

Anyway last weekend (just after the crazy storm we had) I decided to take some outfit photos with the Nikon and they turned out incredibly good, they're so bright, vivid and there's tons of detail. I don't yet have a remote for the camera so I had to keep running back and forth to set the timer, which annoyed me so I ended up switching to my Samsung.

I really need to buy a remote!

These pictures are grainy, not as vivid and just a bit grey. The WB100 is actually quite a good camera, I've used it hundreds of times (for 99% of my outfit photos) and I've taken some REAL GOOD photos with it, I think it was probably just the lighting that's made them look like that.

What camera do you use for your photos?

These pictures aren't the best but I thought I might as well post them anyway.

Like my last outfit post It's 2016 Let's Go, these pictures were taken last October (I know that was ages ago)! I wore this outfit to my Aunt's wedding, I've worn this coat a few time before but this is the first time I've actually shown it on the blog.

I was lucky enough to find this dress at a sample sale in a size small, a lot of clothes at sample sales are like a size 12. I found it on a rail I had walked past at least 20 times in the space of a couple hours before it magically appeared.
I love this style of dress and I had a similar dress from the same brand already so I thought why not?

Outfit | It's 2016 Let's Go

So first outfit post of 2016, but I've been super lazy lately with taking outfit pictures and because it's way to cold to be taking them outside these photos are from late 2015.

Looks like I'm off to a great start then! Enjoy! (sorry about my missing feet in these shots)

Outfit | Camel // White

I had been dying to get one of these sleeveless trench's after seeing this I'm So Fancy, You Already Know post by Jazmine, then when I saw that Helen (The Lovecats INC) had one up for sale I tried to grab it but sadly I failed. When I spotted this one from Missguided I knew I had to have it.

What's that? Another pair of jeans? Why yes I did it again and added another pair of jeans to my already big collection. I orginally wanted the Ankle Grazer ones but they didn't have them in my size, so in the end I just gave up and bought these ones.

Outfit | Denim Double

I first did this Double Denim outfit post last year in June but after seeing Sarah Nunn's Lesson in Man Repelling I wanted to do another one.
So here it is! (the fact that this double denim post is also in June is unintentional, just so you know)

I bought these jeans a while ago now to replace my trusty Primark jeans after they ripped while I was wearing them outside!!!!!!! I love the colour of them and out of all my jeans they have the best fit, probably because I ordered them in a 26 instead of a 28.

How do you wear the double denim trend?

Outfit | What I Wear To Work

So I'm finally getting round to continuing my series of outfit posts on what I wear to work after last posting about my Noa dress in January. You can find the rest of posts in the series in What I Wear To Work.

Oh what's that you say Jaye has bought more jeans? Yes I confess I've bought a new pair of jeans for work, so say hello to the Fresno Skinny Jeans. I bought these to replace my Phoenix Jeans (which I wore constantly), I really wanted a lighter pair of jeans and I absolutely love the colour of them.
I do love a good blouse and as soon as I saw this one I knew I had to have it, lovely and floaty especially for this nice weather we've been having.

Now I don't usually where heeled boots for work but when I took these photos last week I thought I'm only working a short shift so why not. Big mistake! I was out for a lot longer than I thought I would be and after leaving my house around 10.30 I didn't get back until around 9pm. I still love them though.

Outfit | Split Sides

I actually wore this outfit when I went down to Brighton a couple of months ago but I only took the pictures recently. Whoops.


Split Sides Jumper - Missguided || Ridley Skinny Jeans - ASOS || Handbag - ASOS || Black Textured Trainers - New Look

I want to do a proper post on my next trip to Brighton in the future but for those interested in where I stayed this time around, I stayed at The Queens Hotel for an incredibly good price of £50 for a night but that probably because my stay was back in early February.

I'm completely in love with the split sides trend I've been seeing everywhere lately! I had Missgudied's Extreme Side Spit Jumper saved in my bookmarks for a good few weeks before I actually ordered it and I absolutely love it. I love that the Extreme Side Split gives the jumper the high-lo look and despite the splits it's actually really warm. I did think it would be a lighter grey like the one shown on the website but I think I prefer this colour better.
Well I've actually had these jeans since around November but this is the first time they're featuring on the blog. These ridley's were my first pair of highwaisted jeans and I ordered them in a 28 waist (which of course is too big) but as they don't do a 27 and I thought a 26 would be too small I just kept the bigger size.

Do you like the side split trend?

Outfit | Ripped

Faux Leather Jacket - H&M || Ivory Stripe Double Top - Mint Velvet || Jeans - Asos || Boots - New Look

I actually can't remember where I wore this outfit but I do know that I absolutely love it! I got this top sometime last year as part of my work uniform because I loved the floaty top layer and the fitted vest underneath. These jeans are one of my favourite pair, although they are slightly too big because ASOS for some reason don't really like doing a 27 waist but I still love them.

Finally these boots were a bargain find at £20 but me being me I didn't realize they were wide fit, so they are a little bit big. Shortly after taking these pictures I wore these jeans again and I accidently put my foot through the rip and not the whole leg, ripping them even further (whoops).
