Musings of a Muse - Part 4

I'm going there. I'm about to talk shit. About my own blog post.

Back in September of last year I did an outfit post called Robot Sweater Weather (click the link to see this beautiful disaster). I was very pleased with the title of the post, but I spend a lot of time coming up with my lookbook titles (re: "warriors, come out to play" & I'm working on "on Wednesdays we wear pink") so that's perfectly understandable.

What I was not pleased with was the outfit itself. The pieces were fine separately, but just didn't work well together. What the hell was I thinking?

For one, the robot sweater is way too big on me. So much so that I feel like I'm swimming in it. Size much? And because of the oversize sweater, you can barely see the fun petal shorts, which is probably OK since I'm certain I had a wedgie. And let's just talk about how difficult it is to see crisp detail like the robots on the sweater and the white petals. Can you say: total whitewash.

I'm not suffering from a self esteem issue here. I know I'm the cat's meow and the bee's knees (people still say those phrases, right?). I just want to call a spade a spade.

Have any of you felt this way about a post? Wore an outfit that just didn't work or posted images that were just blah? Or maybe you have a particular post that's just perfect and makes you all tingly inside. Either way, let me know.

On that post I phoned it in. But I'll be sharing these shorts again in an upcoming lookbook so never fear. Your spring petal shorts prayers have been answered. And by who? This guy.

  3. I look back at some posts and think the same thing, but it's always able to be fixed. And as long as it doesn't give one esteem issues, all is grand because there is improvement in everything!! I think you look awesome doll xx

  4. I think it's totally normal to feel like this sometimes, Cheryl. TBH, I feel like that about most of what I wear, esp. when I revisit old pics, but I always think these mistakes are learning lessons, right?

    PS I still love that robot sweater:D

  5. I feel this way at times. It's mostly the photos look horrible or that pose was stupid. :-) Looking forward to seeing the petal shorts again.

  9. I know the feeling when an outfit post doesn't turn out the way you were expecting. I've had several what-was-I-thinking moments :)

  10. There is nothing wrong with the outfit post of the robots sweater, I think. But I like your attitude in working the things out until you're satisfied with it :)

  15. Ah, I still like the sweater -- but it matters how you feel in it!

    I find some of my older posts cringe-worthy; mostly the photography, because the lighting on some photos is so off... Even some of my recent posts, some photos are off because I just couldn't get them to look right, got frustrated, and kind of settled for "good enough."
