Alterations make such a difference (but yipes on the cost, I'm guessing it was because of the trim) and it looks perfect on you now :)SewPetiteGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146296944137057378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710964387493427621.post-65282299497417374562013-05-01T13:56:41.504-04:002013-05-01T13:56:41.504-04:00Nothing wrong with going about it this way (I appr...Nothing wrong with going about it this way (I appreciate your honesty though).

In the beginning, I did put in more effort. But as time went by, self photography became easier as I've learned the ins-and-outs of the camera. I also keep a mental list of favorite locations and can pick and choose pretty quickly which ones would suit a particular outfit aesthetically and work better with the lighting at certain times of the day. I suppose the quicker process doesn't mean I don't put as much thought into it, but it just feels that way.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183749125846812753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710964387493427621.post-33453651145138354272013-05-01T02:20:51.666-04:002013-05-01T02:20:51.666-04:00Whoa!

It's obvious that you give it a lot of thoughts in choosing your background, location and getting the details of the post/picture just right (I am speculating a bit here but hey, they come through to me that way). Perhaps that's why I want to see more of them.

I definitely don't want to be stealing the spotlight away from the bride though. No worries, I have a few months to come up with ways to wear this dress but stay in the background.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183749125846812753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710964387493427621.post-56768050633143495492013-04-29T21:43:12.851-04:002013-04-29T21:43:12.851-04:00I can already see it.

Nobody wants to see dozens of photos of me where my foot or hand is slightly different! So as long as one photo is enough to convey my outfit, I deem that a success, lol! I'll try to make more of an effort to take photos from different angles and share more :)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183749125846812753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710964387493427621.post-44868391380383645502013-04-29T21:38:17.107-04:002013-04-29T21:38:17.107-04:00Lol, boys will be boys!
