Pic: I've been taking more selfies than usual because I have to document wearing non-pants in academic settings for a challenge ("Skirtathon"). And I suck at taking them... how does one do a full-length selfie? I wanted to share the beautiful pattern on my (thrifted) Rachel Roy dress here.
Another bad idea is that inspired by all the beautiful ensembles people have put together for the challenge, I went on ThredUp and ordered a bunch of blazers. Blazers. When I already have too many. When the weather is warming up. When I won't have to wear formal work clothes until nearly September. Face-palm.

Nice. Good luck.
This is a gorgeous photo of you BUT if you want help with clothing selfies, I have some advice. Shoot the photo from above. You might have to go wayyyy up high to get the whole outfit it, but that's how you'd get more than just your top. Alternately you could do a mirror selfie, but mine never turn out well, so I don't have good advice on that, except to look in the mirror AT YOUR PHONE rather than look in the phone to take the photo. Otherwise your eyes will be going in a weird direction.
Sorry about the fraught meeting.
I rarely take selfies, so I have no useful advice, but sounds like Nicole has that covered. (I usually just make Beth or one of the kids take a photo of me if I want one.)
I hope there will be fewer fraught meetings soon as people get into summer mode.
When I taught I probably wore skirts or dresses about half the time. Less frequently now, though I did wear a skirt to book club last night.
I don't understand selfies either. Like, do other people have super long arms or something? I get that I'm supposed to take the photo from above, but how do I do that with the arms I have been given? So many unanswered questions in this life.
That dress looks gorgeous on you!!
Gillian--Thanks!
Nicole--Thank you! And super tip; thank you for that as well!
Steph--good idea! I get very shy asking for photos somehow. I love your teaching wardrobe.
Engie--Ha. I'll report back once I try Nicole's tip... will my arms be long enough? (Not a question I've EVER asked myself!) And thank you :)!
