We’ve discussed how the pursuit of perfection robs us of joy. And sometimes, the presence of imperfection is pretty darn funny. Witness these out-takes from some would-be stylish photo shoots, and please tell me you have a stash of these on your hard drive too:
You know when the wind picks up right before the shutter clicks, right? Hair in face.
When the camera catches you kind of between smile and smirk, and neither is appealing.
When you’re saying something incredibly witty to your photographer and closing your eyes for emphasis. Oh, and the trash bag is gloriously visible in the background.
Have a great, stylish weekend, enjoy all the out-takes life hands you, and see you at Visible Monday. xo
Reminder: Visible Monday starts Sunday around 5PM. You are invited to share your favorite outfit, accessory, hairstyle or lipstick of the week – anything that made you feel Visible. Be there for the best blogger party and the finest style on the webz!

I love the quote above and believe it is the one of the keys to happiness! I think we look our best when we are in our imperfect states! These photos are perfect! Peace! Cheryl Tucker
Thank you Cheryl. I love your positivity! xo
The amount of photos I have to go through to get some decent ones is going up every day I swear.
I also close my eyes 90% of the time. I can’t wait for summer to come so I can fall back on wearing shades.

Shades are my best friends. xo
Patti, you crack me up! Probably because I don’t consider these as outtakes – these look pretty fine to me! I’ve got some doozie outtake photos that will never see the light of day, unless of course I have already taken them out to the desktop trashcan. Heh. There is no perfection though, no matter how many photos I take of myself. It’s always easier to see it in others.
I would pay the big bucks to see your out-takes!! Or buy you a couple cocktails. xox
thanks Jodie – we curly women never know what’s going to show up in the pic! xo
Lovely, funny candids! I know that hair-in-the-lipstick feeling well.
thanks Julia! We need hair-resistant lipstick. xo
I’ve decided that wind is a fashion blogger’s worst nightmare, Patti!!
Especially when my hair gets caught in my lipstick…LOL!
But I do feel like we are our own worst critics, because I still think you look beautiful in these photos!!
