When you're taking pictures of yourself, don't use a mirror, it'll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that's how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.
Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.
There's loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.
Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

Update: the mao mao cosplay I bought months ago and wore just now is one of the best things I've ever purchased. Even though I had to adjust the cosplay cause it doesn't actually fit me properly.
Dressing up like a medieval Chinese woman is a great confidence booster. I'd even be willing to go outside cause I'm gorgeous! But I need to actually learn how to do makeup (beyond slapping on some nail polish and lipstick).
And of course, this thing is not designed for the negative temperatures of Europe.
Hair clips are so cute and goated. I don't have hair in my eyes all the time!
