so i’m gonna come right out and say it: i didn’t take any outfit pictures and i was sort of at a loss for what to post today. it happens sometimes when life is busy and i’m feeling stressed and the weather is strange. and then i remembered that i’d been meaning to post some outtakes! a while back i did a post with some photos that just didn’t turn out, but they were just kinda artsy and weird. so i promised i would put up some silly photos, but then never got around to it! so here they are in all their glory. i’m sure i have tons more, but these are a few that caught my eye while going through the old photo archive. ok, i was actually going through the trash folder. that’s where the real gems are.
i know that i’m usually kinda serious in my typical photo shoots. i don’t know exactly why, i guess it’s because i want to put the focus on the clothing and not my face. i also have really crooked teeth, and while i’m not embarrassed by them in real life or anything, i somehow learned over the years to keep my mouth shut for pictures. anyway, people sometimes say that i look sad, or they ask me why i never smile. well, the answer is: i do smile. all the time. and i make a whole range of weird and funny faces. i also have a deep appreciation for physical humor, so i often make wild gesticulations in an attempt to be funny. so um, consider this to be the side of calivintage you’ve never seen before. enjoy!

BAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA. You're EVEN cooler in my book than you were before. Shit this is funny.
I lol'd! You are so awesome; I love how you're like, stepping over stone rubble and giving gang signs? Girl you rock.
Haha! Amazing… best post ever. Even when you are making funny faces/doing silly things you still look cute. Not fair.
Bwahaha! I LOVE these, so funny and cute. I would really love to see some more like this on the blog, you have such a goofy elegance :)
Awesome!!! adorable.
These make you even more personable than what you already are in your postings. Yay! Thanks for sharing
WAHAHAHAHA!! the upskirt shot is priceless!!!!! i love this post way too much! :D

thank the lord for opaque tights, eh? these were awesome! i'm way too scared to put up my outtakes. way to be brave and super cool!!!!
these are extremely cute, I have a whole file of shots like these that I swore would never see the light of day… you're making me reconsider!
love it!!!

xx
omg this really made my day!
i miss your bowl cut, you wear that cut so well! \
thank you for sharing =)
Thank you for posting these pictures! So many other bloggers' outtakes are not in the least unflattering or funny. Thanks for humbling yourself so we could have a laugh! Awesome post!
ERIN! This cracked me up at work. Thanks for making everyone in my corner of the office stare at me. :)
Haha nice!
Great idea though!

Hahaha! This has to be my favourite post! <3<3<3
The one of you squishing up your face has to be the best.
I commend you for doing this post. The humour and humility is appreciated. It's too easy for us unknown bloggers and blog readers to assume The Bloggers At The Top live the ultimate fashion life and don't suffer the 'candid' or 'less-than-perfect' moments. Thank you. And I'm in the same boat re: teeth. I don't have a hollywood smile and have trained myself to un-smile or smile-sans-teeth in photos too.
Hahahaha! I'm so glad you posted these! Love you and your blog even more! :D
haha i love these photos…keep up the work lol good luck n i really like yo tattoos!!! <3

ERIN! You are hilarious. It's comforting to know that some pictures you take aren't masterful works of amazing poses. I chuckled at this one, for sure.

KeepItFvncy,
M.E.
This was fun to look through, for sure, thanks for posting and for keepin it real.
You already are so friendly and accessible seeming in your blog, but this made you even more so!
ahah! i love this post! You still look pretty, and it's refreshing to see more natural pictures! I love your usual posts though.
Oh my goodness.. hilarious!! Of course you still look so cute in all of them. The funny jump faces are the best.
some of these outtakes were hilarious. thanks for sharing and not taking yourself to seriously. i can also sympathize about the crooked teeth. like you, they don't bother me much in person, but a picture is worth a thousand words. in any case, i've just learned to grin and bear it when it comes to posting photos on my blog.

haha! bless your cotton socks Erin… our favourite blogger by far! xxx
oh my god, LOVE these. those inbetween moments and funny faces are my favorites when I go through outfit pics or pictures I've been taking at a friendly get together or party… so want to do this!
PS – my fave is where you are like Tom Cruise MI walking from one side of your roof to another or something and then also where you are making that "blech" face! hahahh
LOLOLOLOL OMGG THESE ARE PRECIOUS. I REALLY WANT TO SAVE THEM FOR LATER LOL'Z BUT FEEL THAT WOULD BE TOO CREEPY…
but omfg greatest post of life ;)
Haha this is too awesome!
Ahahahaha!!! Kudos to you for not deleting these!! They're great!!
The coral shade of the first skirt you're wearing really suits your skin tone and I'm sure you're wearing mint coloured nail varnish in some of them; my fav nail colour at the moment :)
