Getting Dressed: Week 2

This week's outfit was submitted by Lauren of The Little Things We Do.

No, I don't have to pee.  I'm just terrible at posing.

Here's the outfit Lauren submitted:

button up shirt w/ sleeves rolled up (don't button it too high!):

chunky necklace would be cute with this...like the one I showed you above or your yellow scarf:

Okay, so for those of you who read through that carefully, you'll realize I didn't exactly follow what Lauren suggested.  Partly that was on accident (I thought she said my regular jeans, so I wore those instead of my skinny jeans) and partly that was because it was hot outside when I wore this on Wednesday and I didn't feel like adding the scarf.

Maybe it was also because I have no idea how to tie that scarf and have it look normal.

Also, I would just like to state--for the record--that my hair looked way cooler when I first did it in the morning.  I was totally rocking the side braid like nobody's business.  But one two year old and five hours later, my hair needed some re-braiding and it just didn't look as cool as before.

So by the time Bryan took the pictures later that evening I looked like this.  Bah.  One can only look cool for so long, you know?  And, like I said, it's hard to take pictures of yourself.

Anyway, overall I really liked this outfit.  It was a fun and it felt dressy, but it wasn't so dressy that I felt awkward.  I'll definitely be trying it again.  Maybe next time with the skinny jeans and scarf.  (If I can figure out how to tie the darn thing.)


How do you feel about this week's outfit?


Would you wear something similar?


Yes?  No?
