Double coated

I'm pretty sure I liked this outfit a good deal more in reality than I do in these photos. The sunlight is overwhelming, but I'm happy with the couple detail shots we got, and I'm looking forward to a 'warmer' weekend.

Hopefully I'll have a chance to catch up on all your blogs this weekend, I know I've fallen woefully behind, partly due to not having any backlog of outfit photos to draw from. While typically I post my outfits about a week after I've worn them, lately things have been as close to 'live' as they can get, with outfits from the previous day.

How do you stay on top of outfit photos in the winter months?

  1. The better question is how to stay warm while doing outfit posts?? Brr.. So cold these past few days. I don't do an outfit post everyday so I'm able to take photos on the weekends sometimes 2 a day. My husband just looks at me like I'm nuts!

    Love the metallic sweater, super cute!

  3. I am currently wearing two coats and I am INSIDE. Honestly? I just kind of grin and take it for these kinds of shoots. Or I shoot two looks on a warmer day!

  9. Well I still really like your outfit here! The silver sweater is gorg! I first started keeping a backlog a few years ago when I went on blog break but still took outfit photos. I stopped posting on the weekends, but if I like an outfit that I am wearing on a weekend, I will still photograph it. That caused/allowed me to have a plethora of backlog photos for which I am eternally grateful. I still wear all the things I post and for the whole day, just not on the actual day that they are posted. And don't worry about being behind on blogs! We've all been there for sure!

  10. I feel for you. I remember when I first went back to working in an office, trying to get outfit photos became a nightmare. I frequently made Ian come to the office on my lunch to get the shots we needed, and it was rare that I was happy with them, but they were the best we could manage. In the end, I cut out one of my weekly outfit photos and it completely saved my sanity. That might not be what works for you - but trust me, it is so worth figuring out what will. With that said, any outfit that includes this bag is a good one as far as I'm concerned. It's by far my favourite in your collection and I'm still desperately trying to hunt down one of my own. I will find it one day ;)

  12. Stylish outfit, great sweater, love the bag!!
    Have similar problems as you, although I don't post the outfits wearing them - faking pictures is very time consuming ;-)

  13. I love that sweater, and I think the sunlight in the photos is gorgeous! I typically take outfit pictures over the weekend, but I only stay somewhat ahead because I only do 2-3 outfit posts/week and I do the pictures right outside my house.

  16. I don't understand how bloggers that live in the cold weather places even get blog photos. Bravo to you for doing for the blog. I have no rhyme and reason with my outfit photos, I have a ton in my draft and use them base on my mood.

  22. Beautiful sweater!

    I'm struggling with outfit photos now that it's frigid outside. I keep thinking I should put something on and go out, but it's just so cozy inside!

  33. For as long as I can remember (years now) your shots are always outside… the question is have you tried indoor shots for winter?

  34. I think I saw that sweater in Kohls last year and I really wanted to get it! So sad I didn't...I love the metallic sheen.
