Beauty is in the eyes...

I had a huge post typed out about this, but it was too long-winded. Basically, it comes down to this: I'm tired of other photographers demanding my opinion on their photos, then berating me when it isn't what they want to hear. I don't feel like its right for me to say "yeah, great" if that isn't what I think. We all have different opinions ( Read more... )

Yeah, I do have a couple of suits, I usually save them for weddings, especially with the colder weather coming in. I might invest in a few pairs of skinny jeans and wear them with boots or something so that I'm not freezing and look like I'm trying too hard, but not my ripped up, painted ones. I don't want to look like just another office suit either. I just find it hard to be motivated to do it most days? I'm fine with getting ready when I know I'm meeting clients or doing something professional, but it's the random occurences that make me wish I'd made more of an effort in the morning... I might give it a go, see how long I can keep it up!

I would just go with whatever you feel most comfortable in. Definitely agree with the skinny jeans with boots (Tesco had some nice skinny flare jeans on offer....that's where I got mine from a few weeks ago). Whatever you choose to wear, make sure it's warm!

Yeah, I try to keep practical-ness in there somewhere, living on a hill doesn't really allow for high-heels etc so I just don't bother. I have some nice boots though, just need to figure out how to handle my hair instead of shoving a hat on, and look after my skin a bit.

I think my line of thought is usually "why make an effort when my teeth are so terrible that as soon as I open my mouth it's all people will notice" but I'm starting to realise that might not be entirely realistic!

Haha don't leave out the hats! Hats are brill (go on, get a silly one).

And there's nothing wrong with your teeth so stop worrying! These are terrible teeth (warning, worst picture of teeth ever- http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/2008/01/23-End/bad-teeth.jpg).

My hat is black and fluffy with sparkly bits! A classmate was chatting away to me and in mid-sentence just went "your hat is fluffy and kinda shiny..." and was a bit mesmerised! I think he must have drugs with his cereal lol! Usually I only just wear them to hide my hair. If I wasn't trying to grow it so badly I'd get it chopped again just for the ease of maintenance!! WHY IS LIFE SO HARD LYNSAY?!

Those are some awful teeth, I'm going to have nightmares now!! But yeah, ok my teeth aren't the worst heehee
