I went out on a limb with these shots. I told Ross that I needed to "spice" up my outfit posts. I seem to consistently pose the same way time and again...a big smile, one knee bent with a hand on my hip. I have never liked my profile nor my "serious" face. I feel most comfortable looking straight at the camera, smiling and planning how I stand in pictures. Like most women, I know my "good" side and what angles aren't flattering. I think we have all taken enough pictures to have our stances nailed down to an art. Please tell me that I am not alone on this one.
Anyway, I just went for it, I pretended, for about 10 minutes, to be one of those oh-so-famous fashion bloggers or Pinterest celebrities. Beside the fact that I slightly chuckle looking at myself, I think Ross did a nice job of capturing a few non-poser pictures. I couldn't resist being a "poser" in a least one. It's tradition on this here blog...a big smile, one knee slightly bent and a hand close to my hip.
Cheers to spicing things up!

I LOVE that skirt and I need that top. Stopping by Kohl's this week to check it out. You look adorable as always. And as for posing... I have one... standing with my legs crossed looking like I have to pee.

Okay, obsessed with it all, duh! And I love that you told Ross you had to spice it up, hahaha! Our husbands need to be friends too because they are such troopers for taking our pics!
By the way, I couldn't fall asleep last night because I was freaking out that a tarantula was in my bed. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! NOT. lol
You could assume the squatting position or bend over with your head between your legs with some fabulous shorts on.
You look great love! I'm loving the first shot, you're giving some serious attitude. Oh and I adore this outfit, the skirt makes your legs look so long! jealous.
I've been finding lots of stuff from Kohl's recently! Love your outfit and your poses!! :-)

what a cute outfit!!! =)
LOL I feel the same way - I try to do smiling and not smiling posts. I always laugh at my "posing pics" but I actually end up liking them.
Love these colors girl <3

Cute skirt! Love the necklace too, reminds me of lemon drops! Your poses are great... the serious "mannequin" look is not easy to do!
Love everything about this outfit.. and now I want a yellow necklace! I think I'll go order the $15 Jcrew knockoff from eBay since I have no clue what Sam Moon is :)
I have the same problem when it comes to taking outfit pictures. It's like the camera comes out and I go still! lol I love your top so simple and pretty.
You look great as always! And I love that skirt!! I know what you mean about spicing up your photos, I feel that same way... but mine just come out plain awkward, lol.
I honestly don't think you can take a bad picture - really! You always look flawless. And I am adoring this outfit! It screams summer :)
Agree with the comment above...you can NOT take a bad picture, and you have the cutest smile!!! Love this skirt. So adorable.
Following you too! Love the outfit! I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone (like with my new necklace) because sometimes as a Momma I feel so drab and want a change!
I love that skirt. And the necklace. The outfit is amazing!!
I lovee that skirt! And I have that necklace in blue, isn't it amazing?! :)
This outfit is SO pretty!! The colors and sophistication of it are just perfect!
while you look gorgeous in all these photos, you have such an infectious smile that it's just not right to not share it with us every day!!
LOVE this outfit - I even pinned you on Pinterest! :)
Love the pop of yellow here and there. I am still looking for something yellow but have yet to find anything I like.. the search continues...

I am so, so in love with your skirt!
Such an incredible skirt.
Like everyone else.. I love the skirt, the colors are awesome!
Hi I just found you from the Blog Hop and before I saw all the comments I thought, "Wow! I can't wait to tell her how awesome her outfit is. And how funny she is with her post title. And how cool her poses are." And then I read the comments and realized I was late to the party.
Oh well - I still think that your outfit is awesome (can I have it?), your post title is hilarious, and your poses are stellar.
You are awesome.
Stopping by from Blog Star! Such a cute outfit. Excited to be a new follower!
loved your skirt!!
