how to take awkward pictures

Top: Kiki La 'Rue | Shorts: American Rag | Earrings: Ginger13 | Bracelets: 31Bits, Ginger13, LinzGutz






1. Ignore any advice on modeling
2. Take your pictures when you are really sleepy
3. Take your pictures in a really bright area so that it's hard not to squint
4. Fake your smile
5. (THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT!) Have your husband take the photos

That's it, folks. Pretty easy, huh?

    OMG hahaha "have your husband take the photos". So true. My husband is awful at taking pictures - even with our amazing camera he still seems to fail terribly. Ugh. Your pics still look great though!

    Haha. This is how I feel about all my pictures. You should also add, "Have all your neighbors come outside and stare at you."

I have to admit, I had the hardest time matching this necklace with an outfit. Bright colors make me nervous which is probably why my closet is full of neutrals. As much as I love statement necklaces and bright colors on other people, it makes me nervous when they're on me! Living in a Hawaii, where there's 12 months of a season I like to call "paradise", has definitely forced some more color in my life! Lucky for you, the lovely folks at Cheerfully Charmed are going to add some color into your life today! Who says just because summer's gone you have to lose your color? Enter to win an item of your choice from Cheerfully Charmed ! a Rafflecopter giveaway Good luck! and don't forget to enter these giveaways !
