Outfit

I see outfit posts around blogland all the time, and I’ve been wanting to give it a try for a while now.  Seriously, don’t know how people do it.  How do you get picture after picture, post after post, of photos of you where you AND your clothes look good?  I’m astonished.  It’s not as easy as it looks.

My gut reaction when I look through these pictures is to make jokes about how short my legs look and a number of other things, but I’ll spare you my insecurities.  Also, sorry the pictures in the GIF are so grainy.

SO ON TO THE OUTFIT.  I got my jean jacket in 7th grade at American Eagle (on the sale rack! Woot!) and I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it.  And that’s saying something for me.  I’ve noticed that jean jackets are in this spring, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring my friend out of it’s short retirement this season.

I just got my top at Old Navy last week.  Notice anything cool?  IT MATCHES MY BLOG.  I know, you’re excited.  Those little dots look just like my favicon, only the colors are switched.  AWESOME.

Edit:  I linked up our reception with Hello! Happiness today AND Kelli put together a little sponsor shout out post on Daily Polkadots.  Yay!

    What a cute outfit! I used to have a jean jacket but it got stained and I had to throw it out… and I haven't been able to find another one that I love :(

    I hope you keep up with the outfit posts. I love to see what other lovely, creative bloggers are wearing!

    Love, love, love the look!! I'm actually considering to buy a jeans jacket again some day soon, and wonder why I ever bothered to give away my old one.

    By the way, it's so nice to see pictures of you on this blog. It's really inspiring me to do some portraits of myself some day (especially in black & white like this pin that I repinned from you yesterday :)

    So cute and casual! Definitely my style. I know what you mean about outfit posts. I've done a few on my blog and usually end up taking tons of pics, only to end up with 3 or 4 good ones! Haha!

    You're so cute! I am not brave enough (or fashionable enough) to do a post like this. Maybe one day?!

    I think your pics are great! OOTD pics are definitely hard, I'm still working on mine. It's definitely easier to have someone take them for you! If you ever want a photographer we can meet in between and take them!

    High fives for the bravery of outfit posts! I know they take a lot of courage to put yourself out there. I've done a few in the now distant past, and they're a lot of work! Who knew taking pictures of yourself was so difficult, right? So mad props, dude. :)
    How cute that your shirt matches your blog too! Match made in heaven, ya! Also I feel the need to comment on your super duper pretty hair. :)

    (P.S. Sorry for the comment frenzy… as per usual, I've got a bit of a feed reader backlog. ;)

    Haha, you're so cute! Yeah, outfit posts can be hard. Some days I have a hard time motivating myself to do them. I take about a million pictures, and then narrow them down. I normally post outfits of skirts/dresses for that very reason of being insecure of my short legs! Haha. But you look beautiful, so don't feel insecure! :)

    I totally have that same jean jacket!! LOVE that thing! Goes with everything in my wardrobe and doesn't go out of style. And my poor husband and brothers take my outfit pictures, good thing they love me and vice versa cause otherwise they would have been done looong ago!

    I LOVE my jean jacket! I think I've also had it since middle school haha. Sometimes people will say to me, “That is so cute. I wish I could pull off a jean jacket,” and I always wonder: “Does that mean jean jackets aren't cool? I thought everyone could wear one.” But I keep wearing it, because I love it! And it looks great with everything (except jeans): shorts, colored pants, dresses, etc.
