I definitely agree with the engaging with readers part. If I come across a blog that is just photos of the outfit and nothing else, I don’t really feel connected, understand the person or their outfit choice and ultimately I don’t follow their blog. It’s never that memorable if there is nothing written on the post.
I always write something with my outfit of the day posts on my blog. I’m the same as you: it might be about why I chose that outfit or what I was doing that say. Either way, it makes the post more fun to write and hopefully more enjoyable for my readers!
Thanks for sharing your tips 🙂

I’m surprised to read all these comments and find out that 1-3 photos are good enough! I always try to have 6 or 8 shots in my outfit posts, mostly because I can’t choose which ones to put up!

I enjoy seeing a bit of a write-up beside outfit photos too.
There’s more substance to a post then rather than just putting up the pictures.
Clothes have functional peoperties too and it’s nice to find out where you wore the outfit to or what external elements affected your choice.

be consistent is really hard for me.. But I always do my best as much as I can, I’m not posting OOTD reguraly, I try to post it once a month but still feeling hard. I agree with you to posting one or two our ootd, well.. read a blog with too many same photos are bored. I think, less photos with best quality is better. thank you for share this tips.

Wow. This is great. I am soooo guilty of posting too many photos — I guess. I was trying to give people a full visual, but maybe it’s overkill? I’ll have to get better at choosing.

I agree with Ashley. I really need a blog mentor. How does one find that?

You’re so right! I’m not a personal style blogger and I really can’t stand those post that show about 25 photos of an outfit, and most of all the time in the same position, and sometimes the photos are blurried! I like the photos by The Cherry Blossom Girl, also because she shows not only the clothes but also the landscapes and details.

I have learnt a lot of lessons after posting outfit photos on my blog for about 2 years. Yes, I think that too many photos can bore people (and often comes across as a bit narcissistic to me) but I think the most important thing I’ve learnt is exactly what Grechen said- if you want a job done well, do it yourself! I now solely use a tripod and remote control to take any outfit posts after months of having to nag family and friends to help me, only to be unhappy with the results! Always so much more rewarding being able to say you’ve literally done everything including take the photos. I find I’m also looking noticeably more comfortable in images when I don’t have a photographer. I suppose learning from your mistakes is all part of the experience!

I agree, posting 2-3 photos but good quality is enough. I think people will get tired of scrolling down and seeing same photos over and over again.
Thank you so much for sharing your great tips with us!
