I’ve been writing a “fashion” blog for over 6 years now.

When I say “fashion” what I mean, of course, is “Personal Style”. When I very first started I attempted to care about trends, because I thought that’s what I *should* do, then I realised I didn’t care about them, so I stopped writing about them and started taking photos of my outfits and writing fantasy shopping lists instead.

As outfit bloggers go I’m not particularly prolific, prone as I am to wearing the same thing over and over until it falls apart, so I try not to bore you daily. But still, when you’ve been taking photos of your outfits for 6 years, you amass quite a lot of photos. Last week I was scrolling casually through a Facebook album of outfit photos, and I noticed with some small degree of embarrassment that I appear to have developed a repertoire of frequently repeated poses that I use over and over again. In my head each of these poses is totally casual and of the moment, but apparently that’s not the case.

So, for no reason other than I happened to have noticed them, these appear to be my top poses!

The Fishwife

A photographer once told me I shouldn’t stand with both hands on my hips as it would make me look like a fishwife. I have been ignoring that for 6 years. Both hands on hips, stand slightly sideways, pop a hip and a big grin is my “go to” pose, apparently.

I’m a Little Teapot

To mix it up a bit, I take one hand off my hip and rest it casually on a nearby wall or fence. Failing that I’ll just drop the other hand to my side or brush it through my hair, all casual like. Occasionally combined with “Do You Like My Skirt” (see below)

Do You Like My Skirt?

Well do you? Look it’s really full and I can flap it around. Occasionally combined with “I’m a Little Teapot” (see above) for a one handed skirt flap.

The Casual Lean

Because I was just hanging around, leaning against this wall/table/fence and a photo got casually snapped. Not posing, oh no.

I Forgot You Were There

Oh, sorry, did you have a camera? I was just examining this patch of floor/looking over my shoulder/checking my skirt for bits of fluff.

If all else fails, stand on one leg.

I can’t be the only one? Do you have go to poses? What else can I do to mix it up a bit when I take outfit photos?
