Observations: 

I had a zit all week just below my lip. You can see it's flare up at the beginning of the week and steady decline throughout. I could have photographed myself from the other side, but alas, couldn't keep the camera steady with the other hand.

Baby pink and navy may be one of my new favorite color combos.

 Sunday was the first day of no stockings for 2011. Likely not ready to do this for work yet, but it was a comfy weekend look. And I will stay this pasty for the entire summer. That's a promise.

The hair is gettin' loooong (for me anyways) and is getting a much need cut and color this weekend.

Spring colors are everywhere!

Abby said...

But for real... all of these outfits are great! The Wednesday one is my top choice right now... super classy!

I meant to comment last week and ask you this because of something you said... do you make scrap books for people as like a side job/hobby? Sounds fun!

Kathleen said...

Thanks for your comments, so sweet!!

Abby,
I make scrapbooks for me, mostly, but this past year I have been commissioned to make a few. It's fun, but probably the priciest hobby I could have found!

As always, some seriously cute outfits!! Love Monday and Wednesday, as I'm all about aqua and teal this season. And you have the most amazing jewelery collection!

D Dierks said...

I spent most of monday organizing scrpbooks, but sadly didnt get to put 1 layout together.

I love all of the bold colors you wear, I am not brave enough, much like I am not brave enough to take a picture everyday of what I wore. Thanks for sharing

Jodi said...
