Cropped Vest
Remember in 2009 when vests came back? They were everywhere. At that time, I worked at Deb at the mall, so I acquired quite a few of them. I saw this one sitting in my closet and since I hadn't worn it in a while I put it on....to go to the mall! De Je Vu!
I wore it over a plain black t-shirt and jeans tucked into my scrunched Peter Pan boots with my neon multi chain necklace for a pop of color.
I honestly considered not posting these pics at all. My arms are huge. I hate them. I am posting these pics because even though I hate my arms, this is the motivation to change that. It's online where the world can seem now. Time to tone. It's not like I don't have an excuse, I have access to a free gym. Here's to change!
It was freezing so after this I threw a very OLD ON hoodie on.
But...I still like the outfit. Even with the hoodie. The boots, vest, and necklace take it a step above jeans-and-a-hoodie, the typically winter attire of EVERYONE in Kentucky.
I wish I had gotten pictures of the back of my vest. It's paisley.
So what about you? Do you post pics you consider unflattering even if you really love the outfit?

I always post unflattering pictures as long as the outfits okay! I do it for kind of the same reason as you so I know what to change for next time! Usually it's my forever hair struggles haha. I think you look fantastic and I love that necklace I have one similar!
Thanks Kacie! I find myself wearing this necklace all the time. It's so easy to add color to something. I've been wearing lots of dreary gray. I need some inspiring weather. Even pinterest cannot hold my interest these days!
Ashleigh, you look fabulous. Surprisingly, the only vests I own are faux-fur. Vests are really great for layering and adding interest to an outfit, as you have shown here. I've been meaning to buy a denim one. I know what you mean about posting photos we think are not our best. I don't think I'm confident enough to post photos I hate of myself, but yes, I've definitely posted photos that showcase (what I think are) my flaws, but only because I didn't want to retake my photos. I'm a firm believer in that we are truly our own harshest critics and most people don't notice our flaws until we point them out. I applaud you for wanting to take action and for sharing your goals with us all. You are awesome!

I do post unflattering pictures ... but I always feel like most the time we are all just too hard on ourselves and no one else would look at them and think what we think about the photos! Anyway, I think you look amazing! And I love the vest/necklace combo :) Too cute! And that bag, amazing!
I definitely post unflattering pictures, but i think I'm too hard on myself. I really love your necklace! Such pretty colors!

Thanks Angela. I feel like I have to you know? I'm a real person, not a model. This is how I look in real clothes you can pick up at any store. I shouldn't hide it!
I love this bag. I hate trading out purses because it's got accordion pleats inside. It expands like a folio! It holds EVERYTHING. I love it more than the Chanel! (Don't tell Chanel!)
Thank you so much Rachel!
I love your faux-fur vests. I can't find one I love at all. No options around here. I'm gonna look on Polyvore. I own a lot of crocheted ones and this one and a black waitress-y one. I love how perfect they are for layering too! Thank you for your insight Jenny. i'm glad other people feel similarly about posting ourselves for the world to see!
Gorgeous necklace! I love the bright colors!
