Basic

The darker, colder days are driving me mad. From having more sets of outfit photos than I knew what to do with to now having to really eke out what I do manage to get is massively frustrating. Not to mention that most of the time the weather is so bad that all I want to do is pull on my largest wooly jumper and some cosy tights and slippers and hibernate from the world. Still, I do occasionally get dressed properly and it turns out that Ben’s flat isn’t too bad in terms of lighting and shelter from the wind and rain to take some pictures.

A skirt I originally bought for wearing in the Summer months has proven more versatile than I thought especially as the jumper is so soft and warm. I really like the combination of tan and black- it makes me feel far more sophisticated than I actually am…

As I mentioned in a post last week I am definitely taking my blog down more of a lifestyle route at the moment, even thought these photos turned out ok I kind of feel like taking a break from constantly “dressing for the blog” and always thinking about where to go for some decent shots. Hopefully in time that phase will pass but for now I’m taking the pressure off of myself and focusing instead in other things that are making me happy right now (that and Christmas content galore, sorry!).

Do you put too much pressure on yourselves when it comes to blogging? Sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s a hobby and I won’t be disowned by anyone if I change things up a bit or step back for a while.

  1. I am definitely struggling with outfit photos and dressing for comfort and warmth at the moment. I love your outfit, it looks cosy but also super stylish. I love the combination of tan and black and the scalloped edge on the skirt.

  2. Within the last few months I have DEFINITELY had to remind myself that blogging is my hobby and that I have an actual, paid job which should come first.
    Blogging is way more fun though.
    Love the skirt- the scalloped hem is so cute.

    Love this!

  4. Yes, I know what you mean. I feel compelled to keep up a schedule of different things on my blog and I don’t like it when it gets samey. I feel ya pain re outfits but then I’ll just pictures in a jumper and tights if I can take an outdoors photo!
    You’re good at the lifestyle stuff too so it is no bad thing to post more of it. Plus, you seem to get loads of sponsors so you must be doing something right!
