{ What I Wore: J.Crew polka dot blouse // ModCloth mint jeans // Cole Haan tennis shoes (similar) }
I think one of the blog questions I get asked most frequently is, "So, do you actually wear that?"
And the answer is YES!
I would say 80% of my "what I wore" posts feature outfits I have worn either the day that I took pictures, or "re-enacted" a few days later (due to weather conditions, time crunches, a bad hair day, etc.). 

The other 20% of outfits are things that I AM going to wear in the near future (i.e. I take outfit photos on the weekends & then have my outfits planned for the next 5 days) or outfits that I photograph & then keep in my pocket as potential future looks.

I don't make up outfits in my room & run to the alley to photograph them.
This is me, trying to figure out my personal style, pulling back the curtains to let you have a peek in on the behind-the-scene-action as I go.

Not all outfits make it to the spotlight on the blog. 
And you can actually see many of my #ootd on Instagram
(including this outfit from last week!)

What are your favorite flavor of outfits featured on this corner of the Internet?

P.S. Did you see the gorgeous Gemmy Junky necklace we are giving away?!

  9. I love the top - I have the grey dot version. I take my pictures every morning and so I have a ton of photos in drafts since I don't post daily. I kind of started taking pictures (before blogging) to see how long I can mix my clothes without repeating an outfit. Love your outfit!
