19 Ways To Become An Instagram It-Girl

There is nothing candid about standing in good lighting, handing your boyfriend/assistant/BFF/Mom your phone, and asking them to take another because your arm looked weird in the last one. But we admit, we love them. #OOTD posts are great ways to give followers a sense of your personal style, whereabouts, and some ensemble inspiration. It's a pretty generous and selfless act when you think about it! Next time you're standing alone in front of a graffiti-clad wall trying to pose while passerby's stare, just remember- it's for your followers. Get the look! You'll need an interesting background, a personal photographer, and a notable outfit head to toe. That's it! Optional: Call it a candid and stare into the distance or holding an 'in motion' pose.
