Things We Like: Modcloth

You probably know Modcloth, and if you don't you have still probably seen traces of it lingering across social media. Modcloth is that cute little quirky online shopping place where all the weird fashionistas go to have a good time. I, personally, like to watch from afar. I have little cash, and no membership so I silently cry over the pretty day dresses and fun shoes.
One of my favorite parts of the site is the Style Gallery section where members of Modcloth can show off their outfits that they have incorporated MC merchandise into. They're really really nice outfits. The best part of that best part is that they show you, if you scroll over the image, the items from the store that made up that outfit- GENIUS, RIGHT? They sort the items by favorites as well, you can click on 'Favorites of All Time' based on the likes they get, or 'Favorites of the Week/Today'. Here are some of the favorites from this week that I especially liked:
      Some main characteristics of successful Modcloth accounts:
1. You MUST have a good background or a decent camera. Both is highly suggested. Some of the pictures are taken in people's kitchens and rooms, and there is nothing wrong with that, but the background overshadows the main focus of the picture: You! And your fabulous boss-queen outfit! Make sure both aspects of the picture enhance instead of detract.
2. Have fun in the picture. Don't stand stiffly with your arms at your side, smile (if fitting) and pose a little! It's pretty embarrasing ( I know, I know) but it just makes a better picture over all. Take some inspiration from the poses below:
       3. The first two rules have been general rules of outfit photography. Now to some more specifically Modcloth/ Blog photo stuff. You can do what you want here. You can go full on retro. You could go modern with an edge. You could do sweet feminine style, or vintage boyish androgyny. It all gravitates here, and it makes a fun thing to look at. It's great to see so many diverse beauties rocking oxfords, skirts, and collars. Check it out, friends: http://www.modcloth.com/style-gallery
