Fashion From the Real World Photo Outtakes

Janet Camilleri · 20/07/2015 ·

You might have noticed me prancing around like a princess sharing pics of my fashion from the real world, on Facebook, Instagram and here on the blog.

But I Must Confess: for every one picture that makes the cut, there are dozens that don’t!

It’s been a while since I shared any of my fashion post outtakes, so I thought you might enjoy a giggle at some of the latest in my (considerable!) collection ofย  “fashion from the real world photo outtakes”.

Windy Weather

For professional fashion shoots, they actually hire fans or wind machines for that natural breezy look. I prefer to use the real thing – but have yet to manage a decent windswept look, where my hair doesn’t end up all over the place …

just a bit windy

Action Shots

I also like to experiment with different poses, particularly the action shots …

But again, they just don’t turn out like I think they will in my head. Oh, and the trailer in the background is a particularly nice touch ๐Ÿ˜‰ …

Someone Has Her Cranky Pants On

not happy Jan

And you though I was all happiness and light – not in this pic! NOT. HAPPY. JAN!

The Brightest Crayon in the Box

I can be a bit absent minded, it’s true, but the pics below don’t exactly make me look like the brightest crayon in the box …

yes it's a fence

Yes Janet. It’s a fence …

I have no words …. this one is wrong on so many levels …

what am i doing here again

What am I doing here again?!

And That’s A Wrap …

did it take a picture

And to finish off, here I am looking ever so graceful as I walk over to the camera to see how the pics turned out!

Would you be game enough to share some of your outtakes?

      You just *have* to do a post like this then Vicki! Though I noticed you were quite windblown too in today’s post!

    I love it!!!! I just can’t take photos of myself and my outfits – way too self-conscious. But go you for posting both the good and the not so good shots. Brilliant confession this week Janet!

      A little secret: I used to be the same. Being able to relax and look confident comes with practice. I still can’t believe how much my pics have changed over 3 years of blogging. I’m embarrassed by some of my early stuff!

    I can’t say I take many pictures of my fashion, well not like you or with as much style. I am more of a landscape person. Love your out takes. From this weekend I have that lovely swinging shot of the ground where I accidentally pressed the button and then there is the Mr Sparky and me photo where he decided inappropriate hand placement was a must, ugh.
