Unsteady Hands

My friends and I went clubbing last night. Before we left I snapped pictures of their outfits out by the parking lot...then I asked them to return the favor...unfortunately they have very unsteady hands. I ended up posing a million times and only get a few decent shots! Ah, what are friends for again?
Outfit details: u-back dress- AA, pencil skirt- AA, shoes- Dr. Scholls
P.S. I'm wearing some of my bangles again. If I had to choose one item of jewelry to live in forever, it would probably be some type of bracelet. I got most of mine in Hawaii as I mentioned before. Many of them are jade and hand carved. It is a tradition in Hawaii to give jade bracelets to babies, so they make bangles in all sizes. You actually get your hand and wrist sized to find a bangle that properly fits. From the comments it seems many girls have the same problem as I do (remember this?) finding bangles that don't fall off. Another trick is when you wear more than one, put the too large ones on first and then the smaller ones to keep everything on your arm.

copperoranges said...

you do look very cute ... i like the lighting.

Mikkle said...

hahaha i have friends like that too! i always get great pics of them, but when it comes to me they can never frame anything right or figure out settings! thank goodness for editing software :P

G & W said...

love the tats and bangles! are they tatoos of peacocks?

Fashion Addict said...

clubbing sounds like loads of fun! And that's funny how your friends have a hard time taking pictures, btw who takes your pictures most of the time? Yourself?

And I love your blog and I think you deserve for people to notice it, so it was my pleasure to feature yours on my blog!

Sarah said...

Before/After clubbing pics are hard to come out good in general, so I'd say they did a pretty good job. =D

I love your look. You look hot for clubbing but also classy. Hard one to pull off for sure! =D

CoutureCarrie said...

Love the U-back!!

emerald cloche said...

You make the AA U-dress look very cute. And that blurry shot's pretty cool actually. Hope you are enjoying your film fest!

Winnie said...

Sometimes blurry shots are the most interesting ones! The chinese are the same with their Jade. I used to wear Jade bracelets as a baby but once I started crawling, I smashed far too many of them on the tiled floor at my grandmothers house!

Miss White said...

The u-back is gorgeous and perfect for your tattoos!

atelier said...

I love your skirt, it looks very nice. The third photo is awesome

Aretha said...

Wowwww, I'm loving your tattoos!

Desperately Seeking Awesome said...

You do us big boobed girls proud. How did you solve the problem of that deep u neck? is that a body stocking with a built in bra?

Taryn "Skinny Genes" B. said...

unique tattoos....

jayne said...

oo love the cut out back and highwaist skirt, it highlights those awesome martlet (?) birds!

LML said...

i love all the bangles you have been sporting lately!

WendyB said...

I once lost one of my diamond bangles...I hope someone found it and loved it!

MHBass said...

your tattoos are beautiful! did they hurt? i'm thinking of getting a little one done, not sure where i want it though... i really like how that blurry moving picture came out actually!

the iron chic said...

I somehow can't picture you as the "clubbing" sort.
Anytime anyone else takes a picture of me, it's blurry...
doh!

Ca said...

Haha, I experience this a lot! My friends keep calling me vain since I always ask for more shots!

lisa said...

Shaky shots aside, you look great! I love how the low back of the dress shows off your tattoos.

Your story behind the bracelets and Winnie's memories brought to mind a red jade bracelet I had as a toddler. I think I was wearing it all of half an hour before I smashed it against a table. The one bangle I wear all the time and have worn since I was 6(!) is a resizable silver number that belonged to my mother once.

Terren said...

you still look lovely and the back of that dress is so hot!

come visit la! :]

Sarah said...

I've gone to a few Indian ceremonies and they're the same way with bangles, although I always end up getting ones that are too small in the guest presents. I really do love your tattoo!

SOMETHING PICASSO said...

you pull off that dress amazingly!

enc said...

What a nice layering effect! The tattoos have taken nicely.

Tavi said...

GAH those tattoos are so cool! That's a really nice color to you. Sweet layering.
Ugh, I've given up on bangles with my 2 millimeters thick wrists. By the way, I snapped a picture of something on my blog that I think you'll enjoy ;)

apricot tea. said...

I've said this before, but I love your tattoos. It just makes you that much more daintier in my opinion. :]

& I love the dress; very simple & sophisticated. I went into American Apparel the other day & almost bought a romper, but was disgusted when I saw that it was 40 dollars. :[ That's just a bit too steep for me.

Pamcasso said...

sexy look! this is going to sound weird but it's somehow hard to imagine you clubbing, LOL. Then again, it's hard to imagine me clubbing too!

Miss Woo said...

I like the blurry effect!

Sam said...

very cute! and great for a night out.

Mimi said...

I've a top in the same cut and I love it.Fronts always look beautiful and make a good shape

D-andelion said...

Love your outfit and tattoos!

susie_bubble said...

The night shots are too cool....that you even got the details of your outfit to shine through is even better!

yiqin; said...

At least they take for you! When I want them to take a full-length picture for me, most of them think I am vain. Ohwell. Love the lighting in the first picture!

AlicePleasance said...

I love bangles! I'm really liking thin gold ones at the moment. Jade handcarved bracelets should be gorgeous!

Adiel said...

I have similar problems when I ask friends and family to take pictures of me. I really have to coach them to get anything decent and then I usually end up cropping it up anyway.

emma-x-o-x said...

super sexy! in the least sleezy way possible. now, that's an accomplishment.

Reggggg said...

the inking on your back is soo cool. I've always contemplated, but could never decide on whether or not i should get a design... your picture is swaying me towards the former...

Apparel Alpaca Sweaters said...

I just have to say that them kodak moments I've been looking at brings back happy memories!
I sit back with excitement and tears looking at this priceless art! It's funny how a simple picture when seen can tell a whollllleeee story! haha well hey guys thanks so much for sharing, sometimes people need an enlightment of visual beauty to uplift the soul, and this sure did do the job!
