Second dress-up self portrait prompt. I decide to pick my grey hat. I saw it at the store and thought it was so great, then I tried it on at the store and I felt great...took it home and was too was frighten to wear it out.....what happen?! Why does this happen to me? One minute I am not afraid to try something new, step out of my box then the next minute being hard on myself for stepping out. I think this weekly prompt is going to be good for me, for that side of myself that is tired of playing it safe when it comes to what I wear..."You hear that dress critic side of me, you better watch out I am breaking down the box and recycling it."
If you are playing along this week please leave a link to your blog in the comments.
1.post seven photos of a self portrait session wearing something that might be out of your comfort zone(this prompt will be happening here every Saturday)
I know seven seems like a lot to some folks but you are worth seven photos a week....more really when you think about it, right?! I know I am right about this:)
2. *This is important just share what is comfortable for YOU, maybe it is just a shoe shot or your wrist with some bangles on it, maybe not all seven photos have you in them but instead they might capture the feeling and mood of the photo shoot.
3. Leave your link to your post in the comments.
....maybe you will be like me and say "Yes this is scary, comfort level is feeling very shaky, but whatever, I am still just going for it! :)

great photos...i understand about seeing something in a store and then not being brave enough to wear it.i tend to stick to the same things.i did buy skinny jeans this past week-now to drum up the courage to wear them ;)
i'll try and play along sometime :)
You are really amazing- you know that, right? I love these dress-up prompts. I will try not to be a big chicken and participate sometime. Love your photos! Love that hat!! Love your beautiful smile. HUGS!
yes yes YES!
I am in!
YOU are so adorable!
These photos are sexy, fun, spunky and REAL!!
YOU, beautiful you.
I did this recently wearing a vintage corsette! (on my Flickr stream)
First of all: I think you look stunning!
Second: I think this is a wonderful, wonderful idea!
Third: I´d love to play along, but it doesn´t feel like there´s any point when I work at home and noone sees me anyway...
Fourth: I did however d something similar with my students a few years ago when I had a Costume- and Fashion-design-class. Every Tuesday were served extra good food at the cantina, made by some of the students. So we decided to dress up every Tuesday. Some days were themed, like, 50s-style or wear something red, or wear an exaggerated version of yourself. That was always the most fun. My students took this very seriously, and wore things they didnt´usually wear, and they loved just doing it without having to worry about "do I stand out too much now?"
Fifth: Actually I do dress up whenever the weather allows it. We had a week of sun and warmth, and I had a ton of summer-dresses to wear. Now we´re back to freezing cold, and it sucks the will to live out of you. It should be summer, and I´m wearing my tree layers of wool...
Sixth: in conclusion: keep at it! You´re doing a wonderful thing!
OK...I am late to this party...and will play catch up with feathers or something!!!
