Bloopers + Love
If you’re new around here, WELCOME and I have something to tell you! If you’re not, then you are already well aware of what I’m about to say:
I don’t take myself too seriously. Ever. Well, maybe sometimes. But it’s rare.
I am not a “natural” style blogger. I mean, I’ve always loved fashion and had a passion for creativity, but if you had told me five years ago that I’d one day have a blog where I take pictures of myself and post them, I would have spit out my Diet Coke.
I can put an outfit together, yes. But I am NOT a natural in front of the camera. Never have been. I don’t think I honestly ever will be. It’s awkward for me. Heck, it still is. It’s just plain awkward. I wish I could videotape the process that I go through to take my outfit photos. It’s embarrassing.
Anywho. Because, more often than not, it’s just me, my camera, my trusty tripod, and my shutter remote – hilarity often ensues. And when my awesome friend and seriously amazing style blogger Clare posted her outfit post blooper photos, I knew I had to do the same. Thanks for the idea, Clare!
Sadly, I don’t have all my outfit photo bloopers saved – many saw the “Trash” bin RIGHT away, but I did remember to save a few gems along the way.
So, without further ado, here are a few of my favorite outfit post photo bloopers – and you can click on the photo to see the original outfit, if you want (because fashion has no shame, right?):
Ghost Hand #1:
Superstar? Not.
BAHAHAHA this next one makes me laugh the most. Like, what is happening? I look like I’m about to eat the camera:
Coy? Terrified? 
What is this face I’m making?
Am I alive? I am not sure. It looks like one half of American Gothic, no?
GHOST HAND #2!
Awkward hand-almost-in-pocket:
Is there someone behind me? Am I being followed?
No idea.
Nauseous? Fed up? Tired?
Good times.
I thought what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a little bit of blooper love? No? Love to laugh? Maybe. Who knows?
Do you have any outfit bloopers? Do you take yourself too seriously? Do you make awkward faces as often as I do?
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!

This is awesome! So funny – I have a bloopers post drafted too (Whitney of I Wore Yoga Pants has it posted today)! I love the stairs photo the most I think!! It’s always best not to take ourselves too seriously – life is too short!
hhahaha thank you so much, niki!! amen – life is WAY too short!
I’m late to this post but I loved it and just had an idea – next time you want to do a giveaway, you should totally use one or two of these kinds of pictures and do a caption contest! Like that last picture totally says to me “If I have to tell you two to stop fighting one more time…just, go play in the backyard, Mommy’s got a headache.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAH that is the BEST IDEA ever. seriously. omg. you’re a genius!
Hehe, you are too cute Molly. The bloopers are so funny, it’s one of those “what was I doing” moments that are always the best.
thank you so much, raquel! 🙂 🙂
Lol. Cute post. I have a lot of bloopers too when I do posts. Glad to see I’m not the only one. 😉

OH yeah girl! you are NOT alone!
Happy to know someone else is ill at ease in front of a camera. However, your bloopers are not bad at all. Shows your personality from another perspective. Total fear shows on my face. Maybe I should do funny faces and questionable poses………..that’s an idea!!!!!
oh yeah – it is TOTALLY awkward!!
I also forgot to mention…when I was little my dad took me to this girl scout Daddy/Daughter dance…and the camera totally broke when we went to get our picture taken.
Blow to the ego there at age 6. lol!
awwwww that’s so sad!!
Bahahaha!! I have some good ones of the both of us somewhere…
Oh outfit bloopers…one time while I was still teaching, I came out of the teacher restroom with half my dress tucked into the back of my tights. Fortunately, I realized it just before the other kids started changing classes. Yikes. Can you imagine a bunch of third graders seeing that? Especially mine?
oh totally!!! hahahahaha love it!!
I have about a billion bloopers per photoshoot, but I’ve never shared them! I suppose that I am semi-serious in that I want my photos to look nice and amazingly blog-worthy, but on the other hand I am totally realistic about my blogging capabilities and I love to laugh at myself and attempt to make funny jokes when I have nothing of interest to write about 🙂
I love seeing your bloopers! Your sense of humor is really refreshing in the blogging world!
bahahaha yes! glad i’m not the only one, miranda! and thank you so much for your sweet comment!
I needed that – thank you!
anytime, sarah!
Um these are HILARIOUS! The one of you in the green dress is my fave – you def look like someone is following you. I totally have some absurd blog bloopers – kudos to you for sharing yours!
Sea and Swank
bahahah thank you so much, susie!
Bloopers! Love it. I thought the whole photo thing would be so easy. I am so awkward in every single photo I take. Awkward! It’s awful. I’ll take 14 or so photos and be semi-happy with one.
YES! i am the SAME way! so i just started saving the silly ones
These are hilarious! My bf takes shots when I’m not looking or sneezing ,etc. because he think it’s funny. I however, do not. 😛
thank you so much, rachel! 🙂 hahaha
Bahaha I needed this today….. Bloopers ALWAYS make me happy! You da best 🙂

just for you, boo <3
Who doesn’t love outfit bloopers? I have a few too! Sometimes I forget to smile and when my husband takes the photos he’s great about saying something silly to get a real smile, ha! I like the one in the corn fields best!
i know, right? so funny!
Hahaha. I love this and you. Happy Valentine’s Day!!! <3
LOVEYOU!
Love your blooper pics. I typically delete mine as well, but it’s nice to keep them and do a post on that.

thank you so much, agi!!!!
HAHAH! Thank you for this! So funny, I feel so awkward in front of the camera, at least now I know I’m not the only one! Hope your hubby gives your prego feet a massage for V-day! :o)
LOL anytime, liz!
HAHHAHAA! I think I just got caught reading blogs at work because I was laughing too hard at these photos. I’m glad you posted them because I am so awkward in front of the camera! I really hate doing it. I need to invest in a tripod so I can just do silly things by myself. Happy Valentine’s Day!

hahahahahaahahah love it!!
I have so many of these myself. Photographing myself can be so awkward, especially when I see a neighbor just standing around watching me!
yes! it so is!
You’re so funny – I’m pretty sure 85% of my photos are bloopers and I use them anyway. haha I know 5 years from now I’ll look back on my blog now and chuckle. *fingers crossed*
hahaha LOVE it!!
Haha, the 2nd to last one is my favorite. Love these! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thanks for the laugh, Molly! I have TONS of outfit bloopers that never make it onto my blog. Happy Valentine’s Day 🙂

I love blooper photos! I used to post them more often, and they were some of my favorite posts to do! I, like you, don’t consider myself a typical fashion blogger, and I love the freedom I feel in posting bloopers! Great post! Happy Valentine’s Day!
haha yes! those were the best! thank you so much, heather!
Your bloopers just made my morning! I haven’t been brave enough to start putting pictures of myself on a regular basis. Glad to know that someone else take awkward pictures too!!
thank you so much, meagan!!! 🙂
OH my goodness….Most of my pictures are bloopers!! These are great, Molly!
