Lovin' & Not so Lovin'

Let's start with the love, shall we? That's always more fun.

{LOVE} As if I need to point it out, my Stella & Dot order came in, and last night I couldn't wait to snap a few pics with them, horrible lighting or not (horrible lighting, this is the downside of your personal photographer working until well past 6!). To be honest, I originally wanted the turquoise version of these earrings, because turquoise is my go-to every time, but my sister convinced me to get the jade version and holy moly am I ever pumped, I LOVE them! I see me and the Jades conquering many, many outfits together. & the scarf? No words can describe the beauty, and SIZE of this sucker. It is huge. I am currently testing out every possible way to wear it, not limited to: skirt, dress, top, wrap, babushka, superwoman cape, etc. etc.

{NOT SO LOVE} As horrible, as shallow and as self-deprecating as this sounds, as I was going through the pictures we took last night, do you know the only thought that came in to my mind? "Okay we can't take pictures at that angle, I look too fat. OMG Why did I think this outfit would look good on me? I look like a whale!!" etc etc. Basically it was a hate fest on my body, and one that I try to really not do, but those annoying thoughts creep up whether you want them to or not. As I have said before, I am the master of taking a picture in the mirror, how to pose, my "angles". But when someone else has the camera in front of me, it is insecurity city, and I become the harshest, meanest critic of myself. Where am I going with this? I don't know, but I needed to let it out. So instead of focusing on the dark thoughts in my head, I will chalk it up to not so great lighting, and start fresh tomorrow. And for now, I am going to go back to lovin' on my new jewels ... & maybe stalking some more of my favorite fashion bloggers to see how they pose without looking like goofballs. ;)
