Grechen had an interesting blog post yesterday about whether or not fashion bloggers post their photos every day regardless of what they're wearing versus only taking photographs when they look particularly good. I left a comment saying that I don't take my photo every day. I skip days that I do back to back repeats (which happens far more often than I care to admit) and I skip the days that I never change out of my pj's or workout clothes. I still try to take my photo when I think my outfit is nothing special or incredibly casual, though. I don't, however, make it a priority to post those "boring" outfits, always. Anyway, today is a perfect example of something I wasn't 100% set on posting. Since I'm on my way to help out Robie set up for tomorrow's Etsy/ ReadyMade craft party, I'm dressed for comfort and a good 'ole work night. Oh! AND I totally wore this on Tuesday, too:
Cased sausage! It is clear that I'm going to have to move up from a size XS American Apparel deep-V! I've been in growing body denial.
Look at that belly! Eighteen weeks to go!
I made this scarf out of an old t-shirt! Holla!
date: 17 June 2010 (and the 15th, too!) occasion: hanging out with Robie shirt: American Apparel Outlet (love that we have an outlet nearby-ish!) cardigan: courtesy of American Apparel shorts: Liz Lange Maternity- Target ballet flats: courtesy of a Lulu's giftcard scarf: DIY (instructions by The Wondercraft. Started off like this, evolved to this).
I don't know if you've noticed, but my garden is doing extremely well so far this summer! Jimi and Sandy (Heidi's dog) had a fun little romp around the backyard the other day. The video is silly, but you can get a good look at most of our planting beds. Plus, I love that my weird, little, home schooled dog is finally starting to make friends! I also love how green the garden looks-- quite a change from last summer!
This is also the first summer that I've seen a hummingbird up close and personal. Right as we were taking today's photos, a beautiful hummingbird hovered around the echinacea behind me. I tried to snap a couple photos, but the little guy was too fast!
I could have reached out and touched him, he was that close! It was one of those moments in life that felt truly wondrous, and I hope I have lots more of these kind of moments in our garden!
He he! Your puppies are so cute! That was an adorable little video.
Yes darling, 22 weeks is an exceedingly reasonable time to move up from the XS American Apparel tank. I love my tanks from Target maternity. Tons of coverage and they feel like they have room to grow. But what do I know at barely 11 weeks?
I agree with the previous writer! You always have such great music to accompany your videos!
*I think you should make a list of all your favorites! I think it's only fair of you to share when you live in such a great live music capitol!! 'Cause I don't! Thanks!!
I think you look so darling today...and those shoes! They are perfection!
You look glowing, and I think you should remain confident. You are beautiful pregnant woman!
Haha, I love that you're still wearing XS!!! that's seems crazy to me. I take my picture everyday but since i know i'll be posting it up on my blog, i make sure that it's somewhat interesting and try to switch it up. it kind of forces me to try to look good everyday. Now what I wear at home after work on the other hand is nothing that should be documented as i break my cardinal rule of "leggings aren't pants".
You were nervois about this outfit why? I think its super cute! Something casual, but with great colors and a neat necklace/scarf detail. Keep this up!
cute shoes! I'm the same way, posting casual outfits, but not all the time. There are also days where I wear an outfit I consider exceptionally cute, but don't have the time to photograph it. I always try to make a mental note to re-wear it later (partly for the pic, partly because it's cute), but that doesn't always happen =(
I love all your videos! And the background music choices are great!

You look so adorable and beautiful in this outfit, and it's okay if you repeat it during the week. I agree with Angie D -- stay confident!

ReplyDeleteYou and your baby belly look adorable in your casual clothes. Also, your video with the doggies is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI might have snorted some ice tea onto my mac when you made a comment about your home schooled dog finally starting to make friends.
ReplyDeleteHehehehehehehe.
