 Ladies, this past week I agreed to one of the hardest, most stressful things I have ever been asked to do: take pictures like a Kardashian. Although that may have sounded like a good idea at first, personally I’m the type of gal who usually has other people in my pictures rather than just myself. My first reaction was: I have to post pictures of me?! My friends are going to think something’s wrong. Plus, due to my lack of entourage and my college budget, I unfortunately could not afford a selfie assistant.
For this experiment, I decided to space out my posts in order not to overwhelm my Instagram followers, especially since I only usually post about once a month. Here is my experience during the three days I Instagrammed like a Kardashian:
Â
Day One
Â
Â
   First of all, each of the Kardashians are well known for their selfies and especially Kendall. After doing some research, I found the app that Kim and her family us is Perfect365. The app applies different makeup looks to the pictures you upload which gave my photos a Kim selfie book #vibe.
To create this Kardashian style selfie, I took multiple pictures in the bathroom (while praying that no one walked in on me). Once I finally choose a picture I liked, I’m not gonna lie, I was very nervous to post it. I was pleasantly surprised once I did, though. My followers reacted well to it. My friends supported me in the comments and one even stopped me in the hall to say that they liked it. It was a lot of work, but it seemed to have been worth it!
Â
Day Two
Â
Â
As we’ve all seen on Insta, the trend that the Kardashian’s, but specifically Khloe, uses is the retro look. To create this look, I recruited two of my suitemates to help me take Polaroids. It took around four or five pictures until I got the perfect pic. Although I did not master Khloe’s different poses, I feel I did a pretty good job. Once I chose the perfect Polaroid, I snapped a picture of it and tried to find the ~best~ Instagram filter. This look was my favorite out of all of them, but did not necessarily get the same response as the Kendall inspired one.
Â
Day Three
Â
Â
Day three was by far the easiest! Kim and The Kardashian family has been known to share their favorite #TBTs on Instagram. So, I decided to find one of my favorite pictures from when I was little and add a filter!
Collegiettes, it was a fun experience having my inner Kardashian shine for the week! I’m definitely going to incorporate some of their ~techniques~ in my future Instagram posts. Hey Kim, is there room for one more in the family?
