I found these pictures on the camera card when I grabbed the pics from this weekend for the blog. I can’t really remember why I didn’t post them, but I can tell you that right before my break I had gotten to where I hated pretty much every picture we took. I was just not in a good place. I was so stressed out about the potential job offer for Nathan and what that might mean for our lives (all good things but a lot of stressful things as well) that I was just downright unpleaseable*.
Looking back at them now I feel kind of sad that I was so unhappy with them that I didn’t even post them because they are not that bad. I look tired yes, and my smile is pretty low watt, but the outfit itself is really cute.
Just a little bit about what’s going on with the blog…I have ordered a new camera. One that has a self timer, but one of those FANCY self timers what you can set to take up to like, 30 pictures in one go.
That way I’ll be able to go back to shooting my own pictures when Nathan is not available (so, basically, most days). My point and shoot passed away sometime during Nathan’s unemployment and I’m a point and shoot girl. I just am. Once that arrives I plan to get back to posting 4-5 times a week again. And as an added bonus for me, I get to start fresh, with a few new clothes you’ve never seen and a fresh perspective. I’m excited about it!

New camera?!?! I'm so jealous! And new clothes? I'm so glad things must be going well in your life! You definitely deserve it!
I find myself disliking some pictures of myself, too, and wishing I did something like http://hellomonkeyface.blogspot.com/ so I didn't have to worry about my clothes, my hair AND my face!!
I love this outfit--I'm glad you posted it now, even though you weren't happy with them at the time. And congrats on the new camera--yay!
Have I seen that dress before? Because it is GORGEOUS, and so "you", and I LOVE IT.
So glad you got a new camera and that you'll be posting again! Wheeee!

I'm glad you shared this outfit, because you look great.
This is a great outfit! I'm so glad you're starting to feel better about everything so you can see yourself and what you do with fresh eyes. It really helps sometimes.
Very cute outfit! Glad you're back, looking forward to seeing your new outfits xx
Glad to see you back! And you do look super cute :-)
I think you look beautiful, sugar! I'm so happy for you that you got a new camera. (I just dropped mine on the floor, so I need to look into getting a new one too!) Even at low wattage your smile makes me smile!
Tell about the new camera! I like the idea of that self-timer.

I love the pattern mixing! Fabulous-ness.
Great tights...yeah i dont get why you didnt post before. Looks fantastic. I hope you are less stressed about job offer, and good luck with your new camera:)
The stripes and paisley together work so well, and the purple tights make it fun but not over the top. So glad you posted this oldie-but-goodie!
Enjoy the new camera and have fun figuring out how to do self-portraits. Totally worth it if it means Nathan is working again, right? You guys made it through!
You look so gorgeous, down to the purple tights! I love your pictures. You also have the prettiest hair!
I think you are so pretty. I am glad you have a new perspective. So glad!
Purple tights go with everything and I love them.... this outfit is great :)
