first try: success?

well the weather was much more helpful today, but i remained as shy as ever.
今日の天気は昨日より良かったけど私はまだ内気すぎた

so i started by asking my ever-stylish classmate Anne
だからまず最初に、いつもオシャレなクラスメートのアンちゃんに聞いてみた

who is a sweetheart.
かわいい子ですね

then i went to the student union where i bought a present for crafting-partner-in-crime Bethany, and realized that the lady i bought it from had a very cute outfit
それから学生会館に行ってクラフトの相手のべっちゃんのためにプレゼントを買って、売店のお嬢さんはすてきなコーディネートを着ていたと築いた

so sparkly! now i want to buy some lace tights...
キラキラ!私もレースタイツが欲しくなった...

i treated myself to a taco salad for finally mustering up the courage to ask someone for a photo. (it felt like years ago, when i asked a guy to the prom;;;) the girl in line next to me had an awesome blazer on, but we were both too busy ordering food to ask her for a photo so i just took one of the back of her jacket with it's colorful embroidery.
やっと勇気を出して知らない人に写真を撮ってもいいかどうか聞けたので自分にタコサラダをごちそうした。(何年も前に男をダンスパーティーに誘った時と同じに緊張した;;)食堂で私の隣に立っていた女の子はすげえ刺しゅう飾りのブレザーを着ていたけど私たちは注文することで忙しすぎて、勝手に写真撮った。

and lace tights! i think i need lace tights...
レースタイツだ!私もレースタイツが要るかも...

but is that weird to take a photo of someone's outfit and post it on a fashion blog without getting to ask them? i mean, if you could see her face well i wouldn't post it but still, i wonder if that is too creepy. i just kept thinking of how on the news they show footage of fat people walking down the street when they talk about obesity, but they blur out people's faces so it's ok. so if it's just a photo of someone's clothes with no identifiable face is that okay too?
although it still feels weird, i think it's okay. and i hope so too because i'm very shy...
でも知らない人に知られずにその人の写真を撮ってファッションブログにポストしてもいいのかしら?顔の写真をポストするわけではないけど、まだ気持ち悪いのか?ニュースでよく見るけどさあ、肥満に関するために道で歩く顔を見えない人のビデオをよく放映されているでしょ。だから誰かの写真じゃなくて、顔をよく見えない誰かの服の写真だったらいい別にじゃない。
まだ気持ち悪いかも知らないけど大丈夫だと思うなあ。この恥ずかしがり屋にとって大丈夫だといいなあ。

so in that same frame of mind i took a picture of a lady on a bench in town who looked sort of angry listening to her music and i did not want to disturb;;;
じゃあそういう精神状態で、町で音楽を聞いていてちょっと怒っているそうな女の人の写真を撮ってしまった。

in addition to lace stockings i also very much want a pair of moccasins.
レースタイツに加えて、モカシンも欲しいわ

if i had a little girl to shop for i would maybe buy these very expensive but adorable mittens and sequin sneakers at the store Essentials in town.
知ってる女の子がいったらこの町の店で見たとても高くてかわいいミトンとシークイン付きスニーカーが買ってあげたいと思う

so that was my first try at being a fashion blog photographer... person.
i would really like to hear opinions on taking photos of people if anyone has any.
このファッションブログの1回目は...どうだった?何か...ご意見ご感想があったら聞きたいです。m(_ _)m
これからもよろしくお願いしま~す

I can't wait to see my present n_n
I'm almost done with our matching yellow tartan bows - I just need to iron them out and hand sew the middle part!

I don't think that it's too weird to post pictures of people, however, I guess if all of your photos of people end up being stalker-shots, then that would be problematic [not only because of the creepy factor, but because it's harder to get a clear picture of the person's outfit and whatnot].

Also, I was JUST thinking about stock footage of anonymous obese people on the news yesterday morning XD I forget why, but yeah.

You should come over to my apartment soon because I'm giving up some accessories and stuff for adoption.
