Week in Outfits: How Many is Too Many?

On week three I've already become a bit of a "failure."
While I mentioned the desire to show you my daily outfits, it's become pretty challenging. I know there are bloggers who do this with great success but they post their outfits daily and honestly, this gal just doesn't have the time to do so. At the same time, some feedback has shared that the one big long outfit post recap is challenging to look at and...
I miss being able to show you specific details of an outfit without making this post a mile long.

What's a blogger to do?
Truth: I'm not sure! Haha. I'm just going to mix it up: this week you'll see about five outfits while other weeks might be one or even a post dedicated to how I've worn one piece a few different ways
(I do enjoy re-wearing; note my Gap neutral wedges! They're everywhere!). 
We'll just see what happens so this blog makes both of us happy.
Speaking of which, this week will be a bit abbreviated in terms of posts: more on that on Wednesday.
Wishing you lovely ladies the most wonderful week!

Saturday
{gym / lunch / errands / too lazy to change from my workout gear}
top/bra: lululemon "no limits tank" - no longer online but available in store; obsessed / pants: victoria's secret / watch: swatch / sneaks: asics / hair: braids!!


Sunday
{father's day lunch at our digs}
striped top: american eagle / jean capris: old navy / wedges: nine west  / necklace: forever 21 / watch: michael kors


Monday
{client meeting / errands / misc.}
dress: loft / white cardy: old navy / wedges: gap / bow necklace: tiffany & co.
funny sidenote: this is a 2009 loft dress; went to a baby shower soon after buying and I swear that no less than FOUR women were wearing this exact dress. coincidentally or not, I haven't worn it since.


Thursday
{more client meetings / work}
cardy & white tee: gap / skirt: inc / wedges: gap / necklace: american eagle / leather wrap: baublebar

Friday
{filmed tv segment with wpbf (yay!) / client meetings / lunch meeting}
dress and wedges: gap / necklace: banana republic / bracelets: baublebar and american eagle

    All of your outfits are so cute! But I especially like your Sunday look. Those white capri are great with the pink striped top.

    I love them all, especially the last two!

    Hah! Ditto what Megan said! Those Gap wedges are fabulous and look great with all your outfits.

    As a new blogger and doing the personal style posts, it IS hard! Some days I'm so busy that I don't have time to take a photo and finding a willing photographer is hard! I've even used my six year old a few times. Lol. But I'm trying!

    Believe me, I know daily photos are so hard, but, as someone's who's fashion-challenged, just this post alone has been so helpful. I feel like I could go out and shop with some looks in mind. Thanks!

    I love all of your outfits! It's hard for me to limit myself to just one to gush over. =) That workout top is fab! I'm always looking for cute gym attire and have a hard time finding stuff because of my ummm... big boobage. lol

    I adore that flowery skirt and that sweet pink & white striped top, too.

    YOu are too cute!! I wish i would remember to take pics of my outfits when I get dressed:/ Love them all!!

    All your outfits are adorable, but I particularly like Thursday's. I understand your struggle with the outfit blogs. I did my first outfit review last week, and although LOVED doing it, I can't imagine doing it every day. Maybe some day because it was really fun and people seemed to enjoy it.

    Love your Monday and Thursday outfits! So colorful and summery :)

    You always look SO cute and put together! Have a great week :)

    Some fantastic outfits. Love Sunday's as it looks so fresh.

    It's hard to post everydays outfit like you say. I end up rotating outfits for work as I have to corporate which would create very boring posts!

    You are SO cute! I really love all of these but I think my favorites are the white capris that floral skirt.

    Okay so just an idea...you could always take your photos the way you have been but instead of writing one big post, you could write all separate posts in one sitting and schedule them to publish throughout the week. It *should* take about the same amount of time and effort...right? Eh, what do I know... :) It's just a thought.

    Super cute looks Alyson!! I don't think I can pick a fave, but you look pretty stunning in the LBD :)
    Oh and I don't get bored by long posts, keep them coming!

    Blogging everyday is tough! :(

    I love all your outfits. I can't believe those white capris are from Old Navy. Seriously so cute!

    I love the red loft dress and the black gap one! I totally understand the not being able to keep up with outfit posts because I've been trying to do Kendi's 30x30 challenge and i've missed the last 4 days :( it's hard when life gets in the way! i plan to keep on going, but I am also just going to do week recaps. don't feel bad about it at all! it gives us more to look at :)

    <3 them all!!

    Oh my gosh, thanks ladies for the awesome feedback! Really happy with my looks from last week; casual yet stylish, at least I think. Haha.

    Melissa: really good idea about doing seperate posts for each outfit. Just don't think I want the blog to be so heavy on the outfit posts since I have lots more to blab about. :) There's so many other sites, yours included!, that do a way better job at that. Rather leave it to the experts!

    That Loft dress is so cute!

    Lol, great post! Do you take self-portraits? These are great outfits - you should consider doing the 30-for-30. I am too, but I can't decide what month - maybe August... xx

    I find it really difficult to do the daily outfit post. In fact, I've never really done it! Quality, not Quantity, right?

    You commented about loving your GAP city flats; mine are starting to wedge into the back of my foot, and they are also starting to hurt my toe :( Bad sign. Did you size a full size up or 1/2 a size up?

    I love your sunday outfit - the pink stripes are so cute!

    Chic on the Cheap
