Hi pals, with Easter on the horizon, is it just me or does it actually feel like spring has finally sprung? Hands up if you're looking forward to a long weekend filled with immense amounts of chocolate, because I know I am! I'm back with another ootd post as I'm trying to get back into blogging several times a week with a mixture of fashion and photography. This time it's an outfit which is a bit different for me, and a little out of my comfort zone. But apparently it's good to try new things, as I LOVE it!
When you're shooting and crawling all over the place to get the right angles, dresses and skirts are not the most practical items to wear. That said, I frequently do, teamed with thick leggings as padding so as to avoid flashing my models and clients. The problem is, being on the floor a lot means that your clothes get worn out fairly quickly so I've been trying to make myself wear more soft skinny denim and dungarees. This has made me get a bit more used to seeing my body shape in a more trouser based silhouette, but I am so attached to the floatyness of non-trouser options that I never consider them as anything other than workwear. So, in the interests of making myself branch out into uncharted territory, I bought myself a pair of cute trousers to wear even though I'm not shooting!
Whilst hardly revolutionary, it felt like a bit of an evolution for me - like one of the really rubbish Pokemon who finally levelled up! Maybe I can be Charilard?
Waist Bag: H&M Waist Bag (£14.99)
I think this would be a great outfit to wear to a gig or festival - somewhere where I want to look casual and not have to worry about hanging onto a bag. I never really thought I'd get on board with the waist bag / bum bag / fanny pack trend as I lived through it once before in the 90s, but you know what, I love it. It's cute and practical and the belt on this H&M version is hard wearing with a strong clasp.
Until next time,
