just dont know what to do

Labels:


cardigan: primark
belt & bag: primark
necklace: via ebay

Gosh I look plain and glum today, I really wanted to do a outfit post, but with the failing light I just kinda went with what I had already shot! Lighting is going to be a serious issue come the winter months. I leave my house at half 8 most mornings and Im not back home till 7! I've actually considered buying some studio lights and a soft box today to counteract these issues! But we will have to see, I love my natural light rather than artificially lit images, I HATE flash, it makes everything look ugly! Anyone with photography know how please help me!

I'm wearing a playsuit I was kindly sent by In love with fashion, I have to admit its not my normal style, Im really not sure what drew me to it when I was asked to pick a few items! The shape is different from most things Id normally dress myself in! I honestly have to say this playsuit looks amazing on me (BIG MYSELF UP!). The cut really flatters my small waist and flares out to hide my thighs! I know you cant really tell in the photos as I've kinda styled it down, It has this lovely 60's/70's Studio 54 feel to it, I just want to glam it up with a fancy belt, take off my tights (although its frightfully cold at the moment so maybe not!) and put on some heels and go out!

Alas no, I'm sitting at home now, currently in my gym kit waiting for my tea to cook, nomming my way through a pack of caramel rice cakes! A less than glamorous Friday night I think we can all agree on that! I had to work at my old job today, as they needed some cover which meant I ate my own weight in baked goods, The chelsea buns there are seriously addictive! I seriously cannot wait for Sunday, I've been so busy this week I just want a massive lie in and some time doing nothing! Even though I've got to write my dissertation proposal at some point this weekened, Cant wait for that to take over my life... NOT!

  5. I love that bag so much. I was going to buy it but went for the Alexa rip off instead!
    And good luck with dissertation; I just graduated so I empathise!
    Do you have to do a piece of art/design with yours too?

  8. I've got the same cardigan and also in black and charcoal! I love the buttons so much, and they're so cheap! I know what you mean about lighting, although I need to actually paint my room white again because pink just looks silly! xx

  9. You look lovely as always! I saw that bag in Primark a little while ago and was gonna buy it cos I love the studs, but when I opened it it had that fake plasticy/fishy smell that pleather bags sometimes do :( Think it was a bad batch, so may need to go investigate again!xxx

  14. Wow you really styled it down and made it not look so 'Love-y' in the best possible way. The hint of red is nice too. I've decided to veer my dissertation towards the effect of fashion blogging, which I'm looking forward to getting stuck into. Hope yours goes well.

  17. You should try bouncing your flash, here's how:http://www.wikihow.com/Bounce-Light-With-a-Pop-up-Flash
    I made a bounce card with some tin foil and that worked pretty well. It'll light you up but not in a bright ugly way. Hope that might solve your problem!
    And I love this outfit! x

  28. As always, you look lovely doll! I love the playsuit on you, gorgeous colour and fab fit... I think I need to rediscover my playsuits too, they are perfect for the winter months :)I also hate how the light fails me in autumn/winter- it's impossible to take a good photo!

  30. The pop up flash on any dslr always looks like crap, but I would suggest getting one of these
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-Speedlite-270EX-Flash-Unit/dp/B0020MLKFK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287184671&sr=1-1
    and angling it at the ceiling. More light without looking artificial! It's an amazing little flash for the price too, I got one to replace one of the massive pro flashes because I couldn't be bothered to carry it around anymore. x
