OOTD: Outfit Photos on a Rainy Day

Style Blogger UK Picture

The funniest thing happened while I was getting ready to shoot these outfit photos. I was getting glammed up and all, getting ready to shoot, and just when I was about to step out of the house, the heavens opened, and down came the heaviest rain we have had all the week. It was funny and annoying at the same time. I didn’t even know how to react. I knew it rained some hours ago, and it looked like it was still going to rain, but I thought I could get some outfit photos shot in time. I was so wrong. It rained and rained for a good hour.

Once the rain stopped, I quickly had the photos taken. The unpredictable British weather has taught me so many life lessons. Opportunities can come and go in a split second, I need to be present, and make hay while the sun still shines!

I usually get tempted to take indoor outfit photos on rainy days. I tried taking some on this day but they were not as good as I wanted so I had to wait for the rain to stop. Having some form of coverage like a beautiful canopy, in the garden would have been fantastic for rainy days, and days when the weather is just off, and when outfit shots have to be taken. Infinite Canopies can design and build made to measure canopies for all spaces, so it is worth having a look at what they can offer. I am seriously thinking of making the most of our outdoor space, and canopies sound like an amazing idea for blog photos and family use.

OOTD: The Monochrome Look*

I am currently obsessed with black pieces, like you should know already, with me wearing this sexy Miss Selfridge Midi Black Dress last week, and this elegant Lace Black Dress by Phase Eight, last week as well. Black has an amazing slimming effect, suits all body types, and is so easy to accessorise. What is there not to love right?

How is the weather at your end? My end has been fab. I am loving the sunshine, I can feel summer approaching, and it is getting me in the mood for a holiday. Thomas Cook has some amazing deals on at the moment, with offers like £100 off a Las Vegas trip, £150 off a return trip to Orlando Florida, and many other cool offers. I think it is fair to say I deserve a proper outside the UK holiday, so I will be looking into booking a holiday soon. Speaking of holidays, have you got any planned for the rest of the year?

Now back to this outfit, I got this monochrome short sleeve T-shirt dress some months ago. It is one of the spring/summer newbies in my wardrobe, and I have worn it quite a few times already. It is one of those tops, you can dress up and down easily, which makes it one of my favourites at the moment. On lazy days, when I can’t think, I can just throw it up with a pair of leggings/jeggings and flats, and I am a good to go. You need everyday pieces like this in your wardrobe, they make life a lot easier some days.

OOTD: A Textured Dress & A Biker Jacket

Zebra Print Dress Image

 

So this week’s outfit is featuring some new wardrobe additions, starting with this zebra print textured dress. I found this beauty online, on sale, while doing some ‘window online shopping’, and I knew I had to have it. I am so into dresses at the moment, I find myself wanting to buy them a lot lately for a weird reason. Guess a girl can never have too many dresses, right?

The only issue I have with this dress is, it is a dry clean only piece. I find dry clean only pieces so expensive to own, and I fortunately and unfortunately now have quite a few of them now, so I won’t be buying anymore. Apart from the fact that this dress is a hassle to clean, I love everything else about it, and I will be wearing it for a long time.

I paired this monochrome textured shift dress with this black faux leather jacket, which is also a new wardrobe addition. Remember in my January Fashion Wishlist, I mentioned I needed a leather jacket. Well, I have needed a leather jacket since my last piece – Guess leather jacket, gave up on me some months ago. I originally wanted a 100% real leather jacket but I couldn’t afford it, so faux leather will do for now. They pretty much look the same, leather and faux leather (here is me trying to console myself), don’t they? Whatever…….

I prefer this leather jacket to my previous leather jacket. This is from a petite range, so it has a perfect fit, and I adore the biker look and the gold zip detail. I think it is so cool.

The monochrome flat shoes are also new. I needed a comfy pair to run errands in, and still look good enough for outfit photos, and casual outings, and this ticked all the boxes. My new favourite pair for spring.
