fan print




cardigan - topshop, bag - asos, dress - c/o chicwish

hi! this is my first proper 'courtesy of' item i think, and i couldn't be more pleased with it (thank you chicwish!). the print is just so sweet and, despite me being a poo blogger and not getting a shot of it thanks to my mass of hair covering it, has the biggest (and therefore best) peter pan collar too. don't think i'll ever stop being obsessed with them. it also has my favourite kind of shape too, where it flares out under your boobies. so good for flattering my less-than-flat stomach! i have to say though, i don't want to become one of those 'courtesy of' bloggers where almost everything in the outfit was free.

the lighting in these photos is shockingly poor, i've felt like the worst blogger lately because i just can't seem to get my photos to look as dreamy and nice as i'd like. despite having a DSLR i really have no idea how to use it properly and i'm sooo not a photographer, sometimes blogging can be so tough, especially when you end up with photos that you're just not happy with despite loving the outfit. half the time i'm convinced the photos don't show quite how nice my outfit is! well, i can only keep trying!

  7. It's a really pretty dress. I'm sure you wouldn't object to head to toe c/o clothes if they were all as pretty as this :)

  10. I feel like such a fool with my camera, I have in mind exactly what I'd like my photos to look like but I can never get them to turn out that way, so I understand how you feel! The print on your dress really is great, and I love that you paired it with black boots because I feel they make the print really pop.

  15. hi!! i do not think your pictures are bad!! it just appears that the light is too strong or you get the time when the sun is hitting in the wrong places XD why don't you try to take pics earlier or when the sun is not so up in the sky that way you'll get more light and less annoying darkness:P

  17. Such a cute dress! It's really flattering on you, too.
    And I think that in general you have great pictures! When you mention it though, it does seem like you're getting some weird sunlight/shadows at this time of day.

  19. Awww ... we all have bad photo days. I always try to take my photos when it's overcast. I hear that taking photos when the sun sets is the best time, but I'm all disheveled by then ...

  20. OMG I love the dress! I've been meaning to buy it from Chicwish for a while now. But I'm really trying to save up for new booties.

    And I know what you mean about having such a hard time taking photos! I wish I just had my own personal photog so I don't have to worry about it all the time!

  23. Lovely outfit! I really like the shurg/shawl thing and the woven bag. Very nice touches :) And I know how you feel with the whole photography thing, I just take shitty photos then play with lighting and effects on the computer :D works like a charm
