So... this was the first time I took photos of myself, for the blog. I literally got up one Saturday morning and was in the mood to take photos, but it was so last minute to get a photographer, so I just set the camera up and posed away. Let me tell you it wasn't easy at all, but I made it work, albeit only for a few shots. I guess it taught me patience because I didn't give up until I got a couple of decent shots. In fact, it taught me that I shouldn't have to and don't need to always rely on others... especially when I'm capable of doing whatever it is myself. So, be prepared to see more photos taken by me... they might not be as good initially, but I will keep trying until I've mastered the art of photography.    

With this outfit, I decided to keep things black... yes, completely black. The absence of colour is why I like this outfit so much. This is especially true, because after all the colour I have been featuring of late it is nice to have a refreshing break. For this outfit, I teamed up this sheer striped top from Pretty Little Thing with a black faux leather mini skirt from Zara (old), cutout patent boots from Hidden Fashion, a faux fur stole from Zara and a cross body bag, also from Zara (sold out).
