I was saving this post for a rainy day, and today I thought "why not amuse myself and my blog friends today." So, hopefully I can entertain you for about five minutes.
Taking outfit photos is really silly. I mean, what I wear today or tomorrow doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things (read my thoughts about that). But it's fun. A lot of fun actually. I do it because it's a blast, and I just never want to take myself too seriously. So, in the name of keeping myself grounded, here are my favorite outfit bloopers from my time as non-serious style blogger:
"I seem to have left my leg over there" So my face isn't that bad here, but what is happening with my leg?! This photo would be okay if it was an actual blooper, but the real problem is that I am posing like this. I think I was trying to make it look like I was walking. Fail.
"That one time I tried to take photos in the back yard and my dog wouldn't get out of the way"
This is bad on so many levels. This was way back when I didn't know that taking a photo in front of a broken down fence wasn't a good look. Also, Eric wasn't home at the time, so I tried setting the camera on a chair, then I pushed the button and ran in front of it. And, well, Winston. What can I say? He loves the camera.
"Oh, paparazzi, I did not know you would be here" Haha, oh man. I might have been trying to pose here. Just stop, Ashley, stop.
"My wrist hurts and I'm over it" My wrist didn't ever hurt, just FYI.
"The leather jacket went to my head and now I'm better than you" You have no idea how much I laugh when I see this picture. It gets me every.single.time.
"My tongue/teeth itch" And this... this is the crowning glory. Apparently this face (or a version of it) happens quite regularly. Gotta keep the face loose, am I right? Upper left might be my favorite - it looks like my jaw got stuck and I need help getting it free.
So, my friends, do you have a lot of outtakes when you take outfit photos (please tell me yes...)?

Hilarious! Yes, I have a lot of photos left over from shoots. Actually, most I can't use. Many of them show me giving instruction to the photographer (my daughter) and I look like a total B**** rhymes with witch :-)
ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE AMAZING. Even your bloopers are cute though - I mean seriously you're adorable. And I love your style.

These are hilarious! I don't do outfit photos that often, but when I do, it's ALWAYS the put-the-camera-on-the-chair-and-run-like-hell method! :)
ReplyDeletehaha love it all! and yes, I definitely have some similar...lol
ReplyDeleteon another note, today I miss not working at OU...
Bahaha...every post I read of yours makes me like you and your blog more. The montage of four funny faces at the end is by far my favorite. I feel like most of my posts lately include at least one blooper. I can't control my face sometimes, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why your leg is trying to run away from the first outfit because it's so wonderful. I love it.
i love everything about this.
ReplyDeleteBahahaha. Outtakes are the best! Love the photo with your doggie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh. I always have outtakes but I refuse to share. :-)
ReplyDeleteMo
Haha I always have bloopers too, mostly like your "I'm over it" picture here. I've been saving mine to share at some point. Thanks for sharing yours, I had a good laugh =)
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I have soooo many horrible photos from these years of blogging, especially ones of me glaring at my boyfriend!
ReplyDeleteBest Monday post EVER! And yeah, I have tons of bloopers in my photos - especially when my husband is playing photographer, because we are terrible at timing. I always think he took a picture, and then I change my pose, but he actually takes the picture when I am shifting. So there are a lot of really awkward ones! Sometimes he insists that I post one because it's so funny. Sometimes I do it.
ReplyDeleteHA-I have been thinking about doing an outfit blooper post for awhile too! Your dog looks ginourmous in that one picture, I think it's the angle, like, you look tiny and he looks like a giant. And I love the leather jacket one too!
ReplyDeleteOMG one of your best posts ever!!! That leather jacket picture actually made me laugh out loud :D
ReplyDeleteBut I find the rest very cute :)
Love the face collage! These are so funny! And yes, I frequently have horrible ones , too.
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable even in bloopers!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I love it! I have a dog named Winston also! :)
ReplyDeletehahaha!! I think every fashion blogger probably has a collection of shots like this! The one where you're pretending/attempting to walk is pretty hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love this! Your face with the leather jacket is great. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious ! you look so pretty tho ! my dogs are always in the pics tooo lol
ReplyDeleteSimply Sutter
I always have TONS of outtakes! Thanks for sharing - they made me smile. Also thanks for linking up with Funday Monday!
ReplyDeleteHa! This is great! Love the leather jacket outtake!
ReplyDeleteLove the leather jacket one! The last one is hilarious! If I took outfit pictured that would be like 99% of my pics.
ReplyDeletei love these kinds of posts. they always make me smile, especially because it's nice to know i'm not the only one with bloopers!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love these! I have so many outtakes too. Sometimes I just feel so awkward when I'm taking my pictures and I have no idea how to stand or what to do! I have so many with my dog too! She always wants to be in my pictures!
ReplyDeleteThis post was absolutely perfect! I need to start doing outfit bloopers now! There are definitely some gems in there ;)

This post takes all the prizes for the day!! Haha, I love it! Outfit blooper shots are the best. I have quite a few... maybe I will do a blooper post in the future too!
ReplyDeletexo Always, Abby
This is hilarious. I adore you for sharing. I'm doing one (been saving up the good photos...you know) for April Fool's Day. Gold, pure gold.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, yours are too too great. Thanks for sharing!
LOVE it. (Also, side note: love that black dress. Seriously. Want it now.) I feel like the face you made in your leather jacket picture is the same face my students give me every. single. day. I haven't done a bloopers post since mine aren't that amusing, but this is great :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your captions are so perfect! So glad I'm not the only one who gets accidentally funny shots when taking outfit photos. Although, yours are MUCH less awkward than mine, I'm convinced! :-)
ReplyDeleteok so the photos & captions have me howling...this post is oh so real life...not everyone would show these let alone post so kudos to you
ReplyDeleteHahaha, awesome. I always have been a fan of laughing at myself. It's harder to make fun of someone if they started it! And YES so many awkward pix come from my outfit pics!
ReplyDeleteI like the leather jacket one! haha :)
ReplyDeleteHahah, I love outfit photo bloopers! That last set? I have plenty that look just like. You can't take yourself too seriously when you're doing something as silly (but like you said, fun) as taking outfit pictures!
ReplyDeleteLoving the bloopers! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha!
ReplyDeleteHey Ashley. This is great. Really. I concur with your thoughts on what we wear not being important in the grand scheme of things, but that it is fun. Fab post - my fav, is the leather jacket. Made me laugh too, b/c I've been guilty of this look many times!
ReplyDeleteThat's one adorable photobomber!!!

THIS...made my day. I'm just mad that you still look so cute in them! My unguarded expressions in my photo bloopers just seem to scream, "I LIKE CATS."
ReplyDeleteI loooove these!! HAHAHAHA!!! Thanks for the laugh and thanks for not taking yourself too seriously so you can share these with us. -Gina

what a fun post!!! i love the dog one so much!
ReplyDeleteOh man, this is great! I love your little face montage at the end. And yes, I have SO many outtakes when I take any pictures, even food pictures, and you know, the food just sits there. So I feel ya. Thank you for sharing!

Haha this is so funny! The bloopers are so entertaining sometimes. I just can't be serious in a photo shoot, ever!
ReplyDeletewww.amemoryofus.blogspot.com
Hahaha. You're far too cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell thanks for giving us a good laugh, but kudos to you for sharing the bloopers.

YES! These are absolutely freakin fantastic. Why can't more style bloggers post like this?!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I have tons of bloopers too. :-)
ReplyDeleteSee What Katie Wears
These are so bad/good and definitely got a chuckle or two from me!
ReplyDeleteI would have about a billion of these if only I saved them....

I so appreciate this! Sometimes I feel I have more outtakes than usable shots. But I'm always thankful I have at least 5 good ones. Thanks for sharing this!

Hahaha, Ashley! This post totally made me giggle - the four photos at the end killed me! I love when bloggers can laugh at themselves and aren't too proud to make fun of themselves on the blog :) I have shared some outtake photos on my blog before as well, and I always love those posts :)
ReplyDeleteThis post is HYSTERICAL and so, so beautiful! You know you're comfortable in your skin when you can laugh at yourself :) This is why I love you, girl!
ReplyDeleteI love your sense of humor! I've totally thought about doing a blooper blog post and this is too funny. There's always some bad sprinkled in with the good (in my case, often more bad than good!!) Love it :)
ReplyDeletewww.meagansmoda.com
Hahaha these were great. I usually get rid of the outtakes before they even make it out of the camera. I have thousands of photos on my lap-top as it is. LOL Love them all especially the tough-look girl with the leather jacket and red plaid scarf. Great outfit btw.
ReplyDeleteOMG all of these bloopers are hilarious, and I especially love the commentary with them! You're too cute! The faces at the end are so fantastic. I totally agree about not taking ourselves to seriously! Thanks for participating in the linkup :)
