Weekly Outfit Recap: June 20, 2011

Hi ladies!

Welcome to post numerous dos where I recap all the outfits I wore this past week (here's the first outfit recap!). I've been getting into the groove of taking pictures every day...
let me tell you though, having you guys as my judges (at least that's how it can feel sometimes) has really made me more conscious of my looks. Probably in a good way.
I'm always thinking about an extra accessory or a way to make each outfit a bit cuter.

Hope you like some of the decisions I've made this week. There's one or two that are a little "eh" in my book (looking back at least) but at the end of the day,

I'm happy with me and how I present myself to the world.

Would love to hear if you're doing anything new wardrobe-wise and if you have any recommendations for moi. I decided I need more bright/neon-ish clothes, so they're on my list now.
Wishing you -- the coolest gals I know -- the best week ever!

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!)
