Military Jacket and a Striped Dress

Military Jacket and a Striped Dress 2 Military Jacket and a Striped dress 1 Military Jacket and a Striped Dress 5 Military Jacket and a Striped Dress 3 Military Jacket and a Striped Dress 4 Wearing:
LaRok "cute cadet" military jacket
Forever 21 striped dress
Anthropologie fanned raffia necklace
Dollhouse pumps
Vintage quilted leather purse
Mac "Girl About Town" lipstick

I have a burning question to ask you.  Do you ever look back at some of your outfit posts and think, "what was I thinking?"

I was looking through some of my older posts today and ran across a couple I found to be questionable.  Actually...it was more than a couple.  More like 10.  

I don't like to criticize myself because I don't think it's healthy.  And I like to make the focus of this blog my clothing, instead of what my facial expressions are (or anything else I may find distracting to my outfits).  But I couldn't help but think of how much better my pictures would have looked "if only my makeup was better" and "if only my hair didn't look so frizzy."  I guess this is where I have to get over it.  It's kind of like looking at the past, right?  Look back, but don't stare.  This may very well be a reflection of what I've felt for such a long time about my life.  I shouldn't look at the past for too long because it may somehow interfere with the present.  This holds true when it comes to outfit pictures, too.

Oh, and before I go.  My friend Amanda took these pictures!  I think she did a fabulous job :)

  7. To be honest some pictures I like more and some less in my blog. But as I always make the experience that mostly the posts about which I´m personally was really critical in the first moment are most liked by my dear reader it doesn´t really bother me.

    And further I find the most of the other bloggers much more beautiful than myself, so I didn´t really care about my photos - but if I have not such a good day I´m kind of ashamend ...

    Thanks for following - it´s a pleasure for me that I already followed you back on gfc and bloglovin <3
