Style Blogging for Beginners

So I should probably be embarrassed to share this with you guys, but I'm going to anyways. Long before I first discovered Cupcakes and Cashmere and the world of style blogging, I used to "document" my outfits for work for a of couple reasons. Number one, it helped me get creative and keep up a good "rotation" (a word my friend and I like to think we coined in high school - definition: the ability to interchange clothes with one another in order to keep you from repeating outfits). And number two, to use as a reference if I was struggling on a day and couldn't figure out what to wear (I would just look back at past outfits to give me inspiration). All photos were taken from my Mac Photo Booth (super high res obviously), mostly at my old place, and over the span of two different jobs - Nordstrom and then my current job. My roommates may have made fun of me, but I rather enjoyed this project and wish I kept with it at my new place! (I have no idea why I stopped). Anyways, here are some of my outfits over the past year or so...

Sometimes my phone conversations made it into the picture

Close-ups of nails and accessories were sometimes included.

This picture is possibly a little too glittery, even for me.

Lots of hands on hips poses

Taken yesterday! Yay for hair that's growing. Kinda.

Notice the bracelets...I'm improving :)

So if you're lacking in the outfit inspiration department, try doing this! You don't need a photographer, or a fancy camera. Just start trying on outfits and take pictures, and it might save you a few extra minutes when you're scrambling for a cute outfit in the mornings ;)
