I love the colors and print of this wrap skirt! I wanted to wear it with a different pair of shoes but unfortunately I’m so short these platforms were the only option. This was a really difficult and embarrassing shoot. We went down to Millennium Bridge on the weekend thinking it wouldn’t be as crowded but it had so much traffic. I get pretty dang shy doing shoots in front of people, especially when they comment. I always feel like they are making fun of me when they say things like “work it” or try and photo bomb. I try to just let it roll off my back and remind myself that it’s not personal but it still makes me really insecure. As bloggers we have to be so shameless in our self promotion that it often seems like we are just confident people who always look pulled together and ready for a photo op. In reality I have days where I don’t get out of my pjs, I often feel silly doing blog shoots, I take a ton of photos just to get the few that end up on my blog and I often second guess myself before posting a photo here or on my social accounts. The more bloggers I meet the more I realize that I’m not alone in these feelings, each and every one of us get insecure about something from time to time, especially when you are putting it all out there for the world to see. In today’s blogging and Insta craze I think it’s important to keep in mind that they are curated platforms and the people behind them have insecurities just like everyone else.
Always,
Amber
