Self-Portraits and Clothing Discoveries!

This is the first time I've ever done self-portraits. I had to set everything up so that it was exactly the right angle/lighting etc. to capture what I wanted. It was actually pretty fun! 

I did the shoot in our Tea Room at my house.
Here's the setup-

I needed height so I used the chairs.


This bench was only in the picture with the accessories but you get the idea of the proportions.


The Shoot!

I'm a huge thrift store shopper! I love finding inexpensive clothing and piecing them together to make fun and cheap outfits! There are SO many things you can do with outfits if you just let creativity loose! 
This is an outfit I just discovered the other day from clothes I already had in my closet!

This dress on me is quite unfortunate. It's too short. And too low hence why I'm wearing a t-shirt under.

The Solution-
Tuck in the top, take it to natural waist, put a safety-pin in the back and wrap the ties around the waist, tying it.

This is the shirt and also because the skirt was still a little too short I'm wearing another skirt from my closet.





Time for the accessories!   

And Voila!


Thanks for letting me share my first self-portrait shoot! 
I hope you even got some outfit ideas for yourself too!
