Post-pandemic photo shoot outfit ideas

I don’t think any of us needs a reminder of how different the year when covid hit us all felt. The world was at a standstill and nothing was even remotely normal. I have to be honest though, that in the beginning when we went into a lock down, I kind of enjoyed it. Of course, it was all very serious in terms of the health situation around the world and many people that I personally knew were getting infected. So it was a grim situation and all that mattered during that tough time was that my family and friends were safe.

Thankfully, I was living with my husband so I wasn’t completely alone or else that would have driven me crazy. Some of my friends and family were in that situation and god only knows how they survived the solitary confinement. And fortunately, our jobs allowed us to work from home and keep ourselves busy to help us from losing our sanity. It was very sad to see many people around us losing their jobs and pay. So we were really counting our blessings every single day.

The beginning part of the lockdown felt good because it gave me a chance to take life at a much slower pace. No more waking up early in the morning, no more driving to work and getting stuck in horrible traffic, no more waiting for the weekend to run errands and get things done, and so on. I now had a lot more time to do things that I’d normally push to the weekends. In fact, I had so much time that I actually got back to reading, for which I normally would get very little time given my busy work schedule. I also picked up a hobby or two, and became more regular on Instagram. I cannot tell you how many recipes we’ve tried and how many board games we’ve played during that period. But at the end of it all, there was still an emptiness as a result of not being able to have a fun social life, dress up and go out, meet up with family and friends, travel etc.

Eventually, this standstill caught up with me and I started feeling mentally low. And just when I thought this was going to be our new normal, things started opening back up slowly. The lockdown lifted and while travel was still not open, we were allowed to at least step out of our houses in masks. That’s when I got this idea of getting a photoshoot. I had been actively following a few photographers in my area on Instagram and I thought that it would be so fun to dress up again after all this while and get some real shoots done. It would be a perfect way to satisfy my longing urge to dress up and also help generate some great content for my Instagram. I think you all know by now that I just love dressing up and fashion is my therapy. So believe me when I say that it was really HARD not being able to dress up and go out this whole time.

And that’s why these photo shoots felt like a blessing and helped me come out of my little cocoon where I was stuck all this while. The exciting part of it all was throwing together some outfits from my closet to curate these looks. And so, here I am sharing all my shoot looks and the links to these outfits. Hope you guys enjoy these outfits!
