Think Pink and Flashback Friday


H&M top and jeans, F21 blazer and earrings, Shoedazzle heels (here), Aldo clutch, sunglasses (here), Charming Charlie
necklace, belt from TJMaxx

I've come to the conclusion that I am obsessed with blazers. They end up in just about every outfit post that I do these days. I'm actually wondering how I will be able to be separated from them in the summer. Whatever will I do? Until then, I've decided that I need a yellow and a blue one to get me by until the heat rolls in. 


This week I've entertained myself by going back through some of my old posts. As painful as it can be to see some of the bad posts I've done (come on, we've all done one or two that we haven't loved!) it is fun to see how I have changed, hopefully for the better.

Here is the post from one year ago today. Brace yourselves.

Read post here
Posing was not natural so the obvious thing for me to do was to hold up the pole with my hand and stare at the ground. I'm not perfect now by any means but I sure hope that I have improved from this! 

Also, a big thank you to Kati at Glitz and Gold for the feature. I stumbled upon her blog not too long ago and was instantly impressed with the professional layout and pictures. Check out this post she did on mixing prints.

  11. What a drag about Google Reader! Besides Bloglovin' do you know of any good alternatives? (so, for example, we can actually see who is following)

    I love the pink blazer! I was in Forever 21 the other day to get a navy one, and I almost walked away with two! :)

  12. Hilarious how awkward posing can be... I got good with my sister being my photographer but whenever it's someone else I always feel so goofy! Love the look & especially the necklace!

  13. Blazers are essential for a stylish woman, we should all have several colors in the closet (or at least that's what I keep telling myself!) Have a good weekend!

  19. I have a similar jacket from H&M with black buttons, the only downside for me is that the arms are too short. : ( But this jacket looks great on you! : )

  22. I love that you can look back and just learn from the past and keep moving forward. I have posts I don't just love too!
    I need to give my blazers more of a chance. For some reason I never wear mine! You inspire me to do different!

  31. I really like the pink, teal, and stripes! As for old posts, I've looked at a few from even this fall and thought, "What was I thinking?" I'm not as brave as you, I selected them. :)

  35. Hi Amy! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm so happy you did because now I've found your blog...and we both used Aubrey to design our sites! Instant bond!! LOL Love blazers so much...think it's become an addiction:) I totally can relate with needed one in every color! I feel so silly as I'm just starting out with posing for pictures, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who this is not coming as second nature to! Bummed about Google Reader!!! I didn't even know this was happening, so thanks for sharing the news. I'm gonna have to use Bloglovin more now! Love your blog!

  36. I love your pink blazer!! I am obsessed with blazers in general too. But I have yet to find just the right pink blazer. Most of mine are neutrals, so I would love some colored ones!
    As for the posing, I have only been doing outfit posts for a few months and I am still like the most awkward thing EVER. I hate getting my picture taken LOL!

  37. Hehe we've all come a long way since the start of blogging! It's fun to go back and look though!

  49. Beautiful ensemble. So springy and classic. You wear blazers so well -- I always feel way too boxy and butch when I try to wear them, so I sort of gave up. I think I just haven't found the right one yet. :) Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I'm following you now (on Bloglovin' AND GFC... I know it's ending soon but I can't seem to give it up quite yet) and would love it if you'd consider following me back!
