This post title is after one of my
favorite old country songs. I have many a'memories singing along and struttin' my stuff (on the porch) to this jam when I was just a little tyke. (Why do I think you did the same thing,
Amber?)
So, on rare occasion when I slip into a pair of blue jeans, you can bet this song is playing in my head, making my ensemble go -again,
in my head- from casual to "Hey, hey, sexy betch coming through." haha Ohhh.

About this
extreme close up: I told Mikey I wanted a head shot [at a distance]; he took this face/headless shot. I was like "noooo" when I looked at the picture. I hate closeups. Why? Because I get self conscious about my bad, oily skin, huge pores
and I don't have photoshop. Buuut I looked at it again and was like, "Screw it. I'm happy, healthy, I love my smile (even though I have a little lipstick on my teeth!), and bad skin or not, I love me. All of me." There's enough people in the world (usually hiding behind their computer screens) being so harshly critical of one another...why do it to yourself?!
Confidence feels good, but I will forever battle with just enough shyness to keep me on my toes :)
I hope you ladies are having a fabulous week...and smiling beautifully through it! xo <3
I love the title of this blog, but not as much as i love your "headshot" you look really gorgeous sister!!
ReplyDeleteAwww I love you sister! I knew you'd love the song. Oh, memories :)
DeleteOh my gosh! Your shoes are amazing! I know what you mean about sometimes lacking confidence because of bad skin or a horrible hair day, but I think you have a wonderful, friendly smile and gorgeous eyes and should be proud!

Thanks, Rachel. That was so incredibly sweet of you. I wish we weren't so hard on ourselves as girls. But alas, a bad hair day can bring my whole day down. haha :)
Deletelovee this outfit! those oxford heels are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Allie!
Deletemy mom would play the sh*t out of that song! Oh man now i am gonna have it stuck in my hand for days (thank you). I really like the way this outfit turned out. I have such a hard time styling jeans but you look perfectly put together and super cute.

DeleteYou look very Parisian! And I see nothing but a happy beautiful girl in that picture. Pores, scmores.. who cares! :P Gorgeous girl, you. You wanna trade your big pores for my fat ass? lol
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like that comment! Shoot, I wish I was in Paris and not in Paterson, NJ. lol
DeleteAnd omg, you watch your mouth! You do not talk about my friend Jazz that way! :)
That's so funny! I just did an outfit post with me in jeans...but I'm not sure if I'm going to post it yet....I also love that song :)
ReplyDeleteXo,
Eeka
You should! Show's the blogosphere we're not afraid to go casual some days. hehe
DeleteHey, I'm glad you know the song! :)) You've just earned extra cool points.
Hahahaha I like how "headshot" translates to "LOOK AT MY FAAAACCCCCEEEEEEEE" in Mikey language. Funny. And what a lovely closeup it is! So pretty all the time. Anyway you are looking amazing as always, so jealous of your curls!
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Riiiiight! I scolded him afterward on the exact thing. And thank you, I love my curls. I'm only a bit pissed with myself for having damaged them so much with the flat iron. They don't quite curl like they used to.
DeleteAmazing look deara nd super nice blog!
ReplyDeleteFollowing! Hope you'll follow me back!< 3
oo I love these colors together! You look great and the hat is perfection! :)
ReplyDeleteAww thank you, Elly, sweetie :)
DeleteI love the shoes - I have a similar pair and they're my favorite to wear.
ReplyDeleteThey are some of my favorites. I just love loafers and oxfords so much. Throw a heel on them and call it a bootie and I'm so in! haha
DeleteThank you!
Hi, I think you're adorable. I was the girl in today's street style post on the ModCloth blog and I appreciate your sweet comments. Great blog! I'll definitely be stopping by again soon.
ReplyDelete-Desiree
Hi, Desiree! Thank you for stopping by. :)
DeleteAnd no problem. I just couldn't figure out why there were unnecessary things being said. I have issues with people who like to knit pick and spread their negativity or find things to endlessly complain about. I all around thought you looked simply beautiful. And how awesome is it to be stopped by ModCloth?! I hope to hear from you again soon. And if you have a blog, I'd love to follow back. I just didn't see a link for it when I clicked on your picture.
You have the sweetest smile and I think your skin is amazing. I love the fact that you posted your close up shot believe me you should have no concerns about your skin.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Luan, for the kind words ♥
DeleteYou are so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous and happy in that close up!! :] Brian took the same kind of photo of me last weekend apple picking, haha. Guys just don't get it some times. Mikey is a good photographer though. I am also loving those shoes!! You find the best stuff!
Gee thanks, Allison! :D I think it must be a guy thing then....they're so inconsiderate when they take our photos. Like, did you not see this ugly pimple? Snap from my good side! hahaha I agree, I don't think they're being malicious, I think they just don't get it! We're girls. We're so much tougher on ourselves than they could even imagine.
DeleteThank you!! ♥
Thanks! I'm so glad you did, too! :D
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit so much!!! Especially the shoes! I may have to try and copy this look!
ReplyDeleteGee thanks, Trice!! Copy away, my dear :D I'm sure I copied this look from somewhere else subconsciously.
