THOSE DAYS YOU DON'T WANNA BE BOTHERED

{top from club monaco, shorts from forever  21}

You ever had one of those days that you don't wanna be at home but you don't wanna be with people either? Last Monday was exactly that. Decided to stroll around in Eastwood for some alone time. Seriously guys, nerd glasses are just as effective as sunnies in saying don't mess with me. It's especially more effective indoors as some shops aren't that well-lighted and wearing dark shades would just give you a hard time browsing.

I really need to make an effort in taking photos in different areas. This was the only photo taken by our driver and I don't look so happy and my forehead got cut. Normally would've asked for a retake but the swarm of people crossing made me rather self-conscious which is a big no-no in outfit shot taking 101.

What about you guys, do you still get self-conscious in taking blog photos in public? Just curious. :)

  2. First of all, I get what you mean.. Well right now, I'm alone lang at home kase the maid had to go home to the province (her Tita died) and my Mom keeps bugging me that I should have some friends over.. Pero ayaw ko.. Gusto ko na muna mapag isa.. Haha..

    Kung sayo, nerd glasses, for me its my MP3 player. Especially pag nasa department store tapos yun mga saleslady makulit, sunod ng sunod sayo. Lol. When they know you cant hear them, they wont bother na. Haha!!

    And lastly, I used to get self-conscious but I guess I have a newfound confidence.. Thanks to www.theplumpinay.com :D

  5. I have the exact same problems! Whenever Im out and want to get some decent photos for my blog, tons of people pass by, look at me weirdly, and I feel so uncomfortable. It's like, have they never before seen someone having his picture taken?
    Im now following you, check my blog if you wanna follow me back!

  6. I hear you! Sometimes it's better to be bored alone than be bored with someone else. I wouldn't know how I would get myself out of that kind of situation - getting bored with a companion. ME time is always OKAY.

    On getting bothered with people watchers when I take outfit shots, they don't matter anymore. Bahala na si Bruce Wayne, I just need a good outfit shot mantra works for me.

    BTW, love the colors of your outfit.

  7. Hahaha Yeah, there are times when I get super conscious when I'm having my photos taken. But after the first 4 shots, I start to ignore the people watching. Hehehe :)

  8. I totally get what you mean!
    And I always get self conscious even though most of my blog photos are taken in my bedroom! I'm still scared my relatives will walk in and wonder what I'm doing!

  16. Great post, I've been blogging for a little over a year now so taking pics outdoors becomes easier... the only time I get nervous is when people stare for a long time but I only need to try and block it out :)

  18. I def feel self conscious taking outfit photos in public! Gah I'm so scared I'll see someone I know. When I travel though, I really don't care because I look like a tourist anyway so who would mind me taking a pic? Nice glasses! http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/

  24. Oh yes! Usually my boyfriend is the one who takes my outfit shot but when I'm in a crowd, I always tell him to be in a hurry because people are always looking at me in a weird way. Hahhaha And their stare makes me feel conscious.. Don't worry you're not alone.

  33. I feel self-conscious taking pictures in my driveway or garden. I'm always looking around to see if neighbors are looking. I'm commenting on Saturday and I'm glad you had a better Friday!
