JennifHsieh is a space for my rambling thoughts and snaps of my everyday style. I'm based in Astoria, Queens and I share a home with my two derpy cats and my equally derpy fiancé.

The Time I Pretended It Was Bare Legs Weather


So before you ask me, the answer is yes. I was cold. But what's worse than taking outfit pictures in the cold? Taking self-portraits in the cold. Constantly running back to the camera after every shot, catching the camera before the bitter wind knocks down the tripod, and manually focusing for each location change - it's pretty tough. And also pretty silly. But all in all, no matter how close my fingers come to falling off, it's always therapeutic to take self-portraits and really have more control over how my pictures turn out.

It's really nice being back in New York City after having been trapped in New Jersey with no power for a week. The city is slowly picking up all the pieces as one united community and it's so heart warming to see all these volunteers come out. A bunch of my friends from home are also driving down to south Jersey to lend a hand to those who have lost their homes and to beaches that need to be cleaned. I know I'll be searching for volunteer or donation opportunities as well. If you guys are interested in donating from afar, be sure to check out Red Cross. :)

  1. Ahh, taking self-portraits in the wind is always tough. But you look great, and that's great to hear about the city coming together to help out. The same has happened around my town too.

  2. You're such a determined lil Jen out there, taking pictures in the cold! These turned out so super nice, and I can definitely sense the coldness.

    YOU ALWAYS LOOK SO GOOD IN GREEN. Seriously, I think it might be your color. Especially that dark forest green. I love it on you! <3

  12. I did this one time last year, but never again! When I came home I made a hot cup of soup and crawled up in a fleece blanket, haha.

    I love this outfit though! The lace skirt is super pretty :) x

  14. I take my own pictures too--It really is better. I get so self-concious when someone is taking my pictures haha :) And I'm still going barelegged, and I'm from Jersey.! ITS DAMN COLD! Anyways, thank god you stayed safe during Sandy! it was such a bad storm and the aftermath is horrible-but on the positive side, it's nice to see everyone working together and helping each other out :)

  17. That stack of rings is lovely. I admire your determination at taking photos in the cold. You rock.

  18. Wow yes you must be very cold! Ha ha. I am in love with that coat as well!

    It's going to be strange for me to go back to work in the city on Tuesday after not being in for a whole week, and it's scary to think that some parts of the Jersey shore will never be the same
