I tend to be pretty simplistic in my poses on my blog - especially if someone else is acting as photographer! In that case it is really shyness more than laziness but even when I am taking self-portraits often when I try to pose it can come out looking forced. There are exceptions and if I am in a particularly experimental mood (or bored) I can be found dancing around in my garden trying to capture the silliness. I suppose that's where these photos come in. A lot of times these moods have everything to do with what I'm wearing; the fabric, how it moves, etc. I loved photographing this dress because of it's structured skirt and embroidered fabric. This was actually my birthday dress from last year (thanks, mama!) but I felt like wearing something fun to work today and this is what my tired paws reached for at 9am!
speaking of posing...

The subject mater of this post reminded me of this lovely old Rufus Wainwright tune... "Poses"

That is what I love most about taking my own photos. I look like a total awkward nerd when someone else takes my photos. I love these! Your best yet. And your dress is gorgeous!
That dress is to die for! I love citrus colors for the Spring :)
YOU are so sweet! And I agree about other people and photo-taking - Of course, it depends on the photog but more often than not I look like... @_o
What a beautiful dress and loving the poses too!
Oh yeah, I agree. Half the reason I never post outfits is because I feel so awkward posing! But that first pic turned out perfectly, and the dress is fantastic. If I could just DANCE through a photo shoot, I'd be a happy camper. :D
