I started playing around with my Instagram account this week and realized that I never take these outfit shots anymore. Honestly, they were out of my comfort zone to take in the first place; but once I got into them, I really started to enjoy it.
I basically stopped taking them when I got pregnant again this time around. I was so sick at the beginning of my pregnancy that everything mostly went to the wayside…the blog, cooking, cleaning, getting dressed for the day, etc. It was mostly about survival and keeping my toddler entertained.
Anyway, I liked these because it held me accountable. It actually gave me reason to look presentable and helped my mental being. I hate that I’ve given it up. The truth is that I probably won’t do much of them again until after having this baby because let’s be honest…it would look like I was just taking a picture of my boobs since my big belly would cover up the bottom half of the outfit. But after this baby arrives, I hope to jump back into it. It’s important to get yourself dressed for the day and feel good about yourself even if your toddler may be the only one to see you!!
Give me your opinions….Do you guys enjoy these shots? I always love finding clothes, designers or new brands from other bloggers; so I like the idea of sharing the love. I ran through my instagram account and added the hashtag (#homstyles) to my fashion posts, so now they are all easily accessible. I love it when “instafriends” use easy hashtags to sort through their pictures. I try to categorize mine by food (#maloneeats), Brody (#brodycharles), travel (#homtravels), fashion (#homstyles), and house decor (#homeofmalones). Do you guys do that?
Share your favorite #hashtag you use with me below as well as your instagram account name!!!
