It has been a while since I took any recent self portraits. In fact, none that I remember from this year. Considering how much I enjoyed and learned from self portraiture last year, I thought I'd give it another go. No schedules, no projects... Just take some photos whenever inspiration hits.
These self portraits are based on a look that I felt inspired to put together today. You see, I've had such an emotional start to my week - one camera lens broke, ridiculous amount of assignments, stress over some silly matters, a story that broke my heart, etc etc. So, I thought playing dress-up would cheer me up somehow. Well, it sort of helped. It didn't chase the troubles away, but at least I liked how I looked while I was feeling down. 😉
Anyway, in my attempt to heed my fashionista sister's fashion-blogging advice, here are my notes on this look (from head to toe) -
Where To: Grad School lectures
Phew! How hard was that? Haha. Maybe if I keep doing these look-of-the-week posts, it'll get easier. You see, even though I like clothes and dressing up, I'm not really one to take notes and 'talk fashion'. That's why even though my sis has been encouraging me to try fashion blogging, I haven't really gotten in to it. Strange how that worked out because I encouraged her to do fashion blogging to start with. Heh.
In any case, I'm always up for a challenge. So, here I am. Let's see if I can keep this up.
