Getting Those Fall Vibes Down
Alright, so the leaves started turning, you know how it gets. That crisp air hits, and suddenly I felt the need to actually capture some fall fashion looks. It wasn’t for any big project, more like a personal thing. I just wanted to get some pictures that felt like autumn, cozy and comfortable.
Figuring Out the Look
First thing I did was just scroll through my phone, look at some old photos, maybe check out what others were wearing online. Didn’t really follow any specific trends, honestly. I was more focused on a feeling – warm colors, textures like knits and maybe some denim or corduroy. Comfort was key. I jotted down a few ideas, like pairing a chunky sweater with jeans, or maybe a long skirt with boots. Nothing too complicated.
Pulling Things Together
Then came the part where I actually had to find the clothes. Started by digging through my own wardrobe. Found that old brown cardigan I love, a few scarves. Realized I needed a specific type of boot to make one outfit work. Didn’t want to buy new if I could help it. My goal was to use what I mostly had. Ended up borrowing a pair from a friend that fit the bill perfectly. Also grabbed a simple beanie and some warm socks. Laid everything out on my bed to see how different pieces looked together.
- Checked existing sweaters and jackets.
- Looked for accessories like scarves and hats.
- Decided on footwear – boots were a must.
- Mixed and matched items until I had 3-4 solid outfits planned.
Setting the Scene
Didn’t do anything fancy for a location. The weather was decent, so I just decided to use my backyard. The afternoon light seemed best, softer you know? I cleared a little area, made sure the background wasn’t too messy – just some fallen leaves and the wooden fence. Didn’t use any special lighting equipment, just relied on natural light. Kept it simple.
Snapping the Pictures
Got dressed in the first outfit. Had my phone set up on a little tripod, nothing professional. Just started taking pictures. Moved around a bit, tried different poses – standing, sitting on the steps, holding a warm mug (filled it with tea, felt right). Switched outfits, repeated the process. Some combinations I thought would be great looked a bit off on camera, while others surprisingly worked well. It was mostly trial and error. Took way more pictures than I needed, just to be safe.
Sorting Through It All
Later that evening, I transferred all the photos to my computer. Went through them one by one. Deleted the blurry ones, the awkward poses, the ones where the lighting was just bad. It took a while to narrow it down. I wasn’t looking for perfection, just pictures that captured that cozy, fall feeling I was after. Did some very basic adjustments on my phone – maybe brightened a few, cropped them slightly. Nothing major.
End Result
So, I ended up with about ten images I really liked. They’re not magazine quality or anything, but they feel authentic, like my version of fall style. It was a pretty straightforward process, really. Just deciding to do it, using what I had, and spending an afternoon taking photos. Good reminder that you don’t always need a big production to create something you’re happy with.
