Outfit Outtakes

I debated whether or not I wanted to share these with you guys, but after a while I came to the conclusion that it simply wouldn’t be fair otherwise.

When personal style bloggers take outfit photos, we take anywhere from 80-200 frames in order to get four or six or seven snaps that we feel are worthwhile to share with you. As a result, there are a lot of outtakes.

For whatever reason, I manage to contort my face and my body into some seriously questionable positions during each of my shoots. I’ve narrowly avoided getting hit by a cab or two as well. Here’s a few gems, for your laughing pleasure.

Sneezing, I think.

Um, hello! I was posing here.

I’m, like, really photogenic. That first one’s a gem, isn’t it? This last one, too — I wish I could explain. Tucking my shirt in? I digress…

In case you’re willing to look past my weirdness, each photo above links through to the original outfit post.

Have a nice weekend!

  3. You made my Friday Hallie - these are hilarious!
    I take plenty of questionable ones (I am a constant “belt-adjusterer”) but I brutally delete them as I go!

  4. Hahaha! I LOVE bloopers! Maybe I’m strange because I was so excited to post my first batch of them a while ago — it’s just fun. 80 pictures is probably the most I’ve ever taken for a blog post, maybe I should be taking more! But living where I do I don’t have as many people around to contend with, either. Loved this post girl — have a great weekend!

  5. Hahaha this so made my day-I have an entire folder (metaphorically large folder) on my computer of outtakes….because I seem to think when I’m having my picture taken, I should also talk. A lot. I’ve even made a few GIFs in the past (because apparently I manage to look crazy for not just one but 4 or 5 photos in a row). One of these days, I’ll get around to sharing them, they’re some gems too 😉 glad you’re forging this path in front of me!

  11. Hah, Hallie, you are brilliant! This is hilarious. These photos aren’t even that bad though, I’m sure I have many of myself that are way worse. Too funny, like the blooper reel at the end of a movie. I appreciate you being able to laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously!

  15. LOL I love your outtake pictures!! I usually have about a million outtakes and like 3 good ones! I think my husband takes them with his eyes closed. And btw, mine are WAY worse than yours! Have a great weekend!

  16. I love this! You are so honest, and that’s why I love your blog :) My outtakes are awful! I talk too much during my pictures too, probably because I feel so awkward. I just stand there and smile though. No action shots or anything artistic over here!

  17. Cracking. Up. I love that you shared these! I did a post like this recently too (http://isntthatcharming.blogspot.com/2013/09/when-outfit-posts-go-wrong.html), it’s so funny to look at the outtakes. Hey, we’re all human!

  24. I have a couple of lifestyle bloggers that I peruse daily for the past couple of years. I commented only once in all these years. I stumbled upon your blog last month and I just have to say, you have a brilliant personality which you easily capture in your blog. I appreciate your style but most importantly you humor. Thanks.
