I woke up with a headache but decided to don my overalls and do a small photo shoot its been something I have wanted to do since I bought them and our resident Misfit Sarah wore hers on her recent shoot (and looks wayyyy better than me) so I knew I better do mine soon and here I am.I used my new tripod for the first time too.
Yes I know my pics are terrible compared to others like Reva ,Helga,Sarah , Kitty and our Vintage Vixen.(all their links 3 posts back) But hey the more I do the better I will get Right? But I am accepting any and all tips you may have and yes I know my garage/slash craft/junk/launry room and or dining /slash family room arent the best photography places. I so miss my home we sold where we had lots of foliage to make any pic look great even mine.
I cropped too small

Plaits at any age darl, I am a big fan of them. So plait away, I say. Personally I now have space in my back room (enclosed verandah) and am going to keep it that way permanently for my outfit posts. It's a boring background I guess but at least it's plain. Photo tips from me? I am far from an expert, and only know/learn what I need to, but I'd suggest you download Irfanview (free) and make friends with it. It's what I use to crop, resize, re-colour, etc. all my photos for the blog and for ebay. It's not photoshop but then photoshop is way too complex for me! Read back through my blog and you'll see what can be done with it.xx.
Oh another one, get rid of the time/date stamp on your photos!
I think you look great & I love the overall look! After seeing you and sarah rocking them, I think I'm gonna have to get me a pair!
Xox
You look cute in overalls Nelly, and I also like the braids on you. You are only as old as you feel!
I have a feeling I will be sporting plaits even after I have my first child (Am not yet preggo but plan to be within the next 2 years).. who knows if its a girl I might just do out hair like twins! lol
What software are you using?
1 Resize all of your pics to the same width (try 300 pixels) and save them.
2. Insert the pics to your post.
3. Click on a pic and select 'Original size'.
4. Repeat step three for each pic.
That will at least make all your pics a consistent size and not too small but within the narrow column in your blog. You can, of course, resize your blog columns but that might be a lesson for another day! Start with getting your pics to a reeasonable size as I can barely see you in those little ones.
Overalls rock! And plaits rock!

You're rocking the overalls Nelly!! Sadly I'm not good with photos either, but hopefully someone else will give some tips
Thanks for your lovely comment! Cute pics, and I love those vintage shoes.
You are working those overalls - you look fabulous! Ive also been eyeing up all the goodies in the background and have got to say that I am in love with the Marilyn picture! Scarlett x
Hi Nelly, lovely 'alls, and you are never too old for plaits, I still wear them..hehe. love your red vintage shoes, bye for now, Tam x
Hello sweet Nelly. Thanks so much for your comment & enthusiasm : )
Love the shoes too.
First question..what kind of computer do you have?..thing is we use an Apple (mac) so I'm probably not much use to you. However..you know when you pop a pic in to you post as your writing it..& then if you click that pic you get a underline with info..click large & see if you like the size ok even Xtra large if you're feeling bold. (sorry if you already know that) Now your query. I love using http://bighugelabs.com/ for making a mosaic one of the simplest tp do being the 4 square. Mosaic is the 3rd thing down the list once you hit the front page. Go check it out : ) Much love Catherine
Nelly Love you look GORGEOUS....And isn't this one of the VERY REASONS we LOVE Vintage....Because we DON'T have to CONFORM to what others may think is appropriate....Plaits at ANY age are COOL as far as I'm concerned....!!!!!
Now where can I get me some overalls....And some RED Blundies....hahahahahaha....!!
Have a WONDERFUL week....!
Cheers,
Tamarah :o)
PS: I HOPE your headaches gone....!!!!!
Oooooh lurve the red shoes Nelly and your plaits are utterly gorgeous!! You look 25 in these pics!!!! I love your overalls and the different headgear you've chosen. The silence has broken huh? Yeah I think heaps of people were chased home by the rain today. I'm so glad you like Nancy, not oppyed though - eBay. And what a fight it was tehehe!!! xoxo
Plaits rock at any age and you are living proof! You look fabulous in your dungarees and hat and I'd love to see some bigger photos.

Hi Nelly, just discovered your blog and love it! You look fabulous in your plaits and overalls! I don't have overalls but my preferred outfit for painting is an ancient pair of stripey leggings (hideously baggy around the knees) and an equally hideous baggy top, paint splattered of course!
Love those red shoes btw! xx
hey Nelly, I think your pics are great.
Has anyone told you that you look far too young to be a granny? I bet I'm not the first!
you look as cute as a button!
I love overalls.
they are comfy and I love to wear them while i am doing yardwork or going camping or just going wherever, they are fun
you look adorable.....i own many pair of overalls and wear them almost daily, must to my families dismay.....thank you for stopping by.....keep collecting the things you love....it doesn't matter who else "gets it".....make yourself happy.
