Weekly Outfit Recap: June 9, 2011 (the 1st!)

Hello gorgeous gals!

Alyson here with my first installment of my outfits from the past week. I'm doing this to show you what the average, every day gal wears and how I'm trying to amp it up (at least a little each day).

I've already learned a lot! For example...

1. Waiting until 7 pm for your husband to take your photos guarantees that you look tired, your make-up ain't so fresh and your clothes are kind of wrinkly. ie: not prime photo taking time.

2. Taking your photo after you get your eyebrows waxed=poor planning.

3. Getting a mysterious, crazy monstrous black and blue mark on the back of your leg pretty much guarantees you'll be seeing me exclusively in pants for the next month.

4. This mama should be wearing lipstick everyday, everywhere.

5.  "Reporting" to you with my outfits makes me a little more stressed when getting dressed.

(so please be kind!)

Outfit: Boot Love (in 90-Degree Heat!)

Oh my heaven.

I have been sooooo good about purchases lately, really abiding by my rule of only buying what I need

to rid me of the "I have nothing to wear" syndrome. Have you tried my method??

For me, cross one item off the so-called warbrobe-need list:

During a casual stroll into Banana Republic I stumbled across these beauties, a pair of boots I've been searching for for way too long. Perfectly camel brown. Good heel. Right height. Real leather. 

Best part: the only pair was size 9! My size! That NEVER happens. It's always a 5.5 or 6.

Needless to say I don't care that it's nearly 90 degrees in Florida,

this gal is wearing her boots!

Here's an outfit I wore during last week's Chick-Fil-A and retail therapy at the mall date with a bff, A.

Also ran a few errands, probably in an attempt to show off the cuteness as much as possible before I look totally absurd in this steamy heat.

You do that, too, right? If you're feeling cute or loving an item of clothing you're wearing you try to do more out and about to show it off to everyone to see. Don't lie. Haha.

Next up for the boots: skirts and cas' floral dresses with the boots.

And, this makes me very excited for next Fall! Sqeeel.
