#AprilsAutumnChallenge - Round Up Part 1
March 19, 2015I've been participating in another style challenge this month over on Insta, where I can be found and followed at @beth_almostposh if you're interested.
This one is run by April Nicoll and there is a $100 Westfield voucher up for grabs which is quite exciting.
My RL friends Stacie (@indigo_daydream) and Jen (@lady_lambkin) are also playing along which gives added dimension and fun to the challenge, especially because Stacie and I work together and thus have been able to take each other's photos on my working days, while Jen is brand new to Insta but has already got significant game. Finding cool locations around Adelaide has been fun and it's good to get some direction from a photographer that understands the importance of a fierce shot, rather than a bored husband or endless failed selfie bursts on a timer.
Annoyingly, we missed the first three days, but here are a selection of my entries so far . . .
 |
| Day 5: 50 Shades of . . . Lipstick MAC Pro Longwear Lip Glass in "Maleficent" |

I like how you've gone hunting for different backdrops for each pic! :) Glad you are having fun with the challenge. I did two challenges back to back in December and January and I'm a bit played out on them. It was good having some guidance for what to wear each day, but it's nice to be able to open up my wardrobe and just pick something I 'feel' like wearing for a change :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Mica, working in the city does have some advantages! It is definitely hard work, especially when the prompts are quite specific and you have exactly zero of whatever it may be.
DeleteLooks like you are having a lot of fun with this challenge. I always start out great and with full intentions on challenges like this but lose momentum soon after. Looking forward to casing your efforts on Instagram.
ReplyDeleteIt gets you out of the fallback "comfort" outfits - that's for sure! I admit I have spent a few nights lying awake wondering what to wear!
