I have been trying to do a few WIW...but gosh I find it a challenge. Why is this so?

1) I am not that fond of having my photo taken at the best of times. Maybe I am delusional but I always think I look better in real life than I do in a photo!
2) We have a character home with lots of wood, and not quite the right full length mirror.The ones here are taken in my son's room.
3) I have two sons and a DH that are reluctant photo takers.

I think the answer is a tripod and to take pics outside. So many of you have lovely well lit WIW - mine look dark and blurry. I do have options - an IPAD, a Smartphone and a great SLR. Our house is on a street with lots of foot traffic and we currently have builders here.

Anyway here are a couple of WIW. They are quite different looks but I feel good in both of them although in general I am not a floral person.

1) Today- a black knit blazer, a silky tee in snake print cobalt and black, faded straight leg jeans, and moto boots. I tried rolling them to show off the boot but was not convinced so wore them down. I have considered shortening the jeans but sometimes wear them with a higher heel so have not done so.

2 & 3 The end of the NZ summer - so about four-five months ago when I was experimenting for YLF. A summer dress that I bought for Christmas Day but wore casually a lot in summer. It has pockets! Excuse the stickers all over the mirror - they have been removed now.

4) With jeans rolled, shows the top and blazer better too.

So the Lab part of the question - how can I make my pics better (aside from clean the mirror!)

I am also open to comments on the outfits themselves.
