Fifth Post: Signature

So it's my day-off! You know what that means? My sanity has returned and I have every reason to grace you with my lanky presence with yet another photo shoot.

Disclaimer: My goal within the immediate future is to master the art of fashion blogger posing. I have taken some key points from some of my absolute favz Man Repeller and Fashion Toast however I'm hoping to add some of my own personal spark to it. Perhaps give you the feeling of "Why yes, I have just finished dealing with some retail ruckus and though I may just pass out from my work delirium, nothing can stop me from shopping some more!"

But of course, I always dress with purpose (as should every true fashionista). I am a firm believer that every one has a signature look. It's all that personal style you read about in magazines. And I do think that if we want to continue on this relationship of blogger to reader, it's necessary that you are fully aware of my love for the nautical. I like the stripes, the anchors, the navy and white, the gold chains, the rope detailing, the crisp preppy feel, etc but I hope you get the gist.

So without further or do, I give you my signature:

(Dress from Zara, Rebecca Minkoff satchel, Boots from Target, Necklace from Forever 21)

Ta-da! Welcome to what half of my closet (okay, more than half, but really who's counting?) looks like.

What's your signature?

No sympathy needed...today anyway,

Amy

Fourth Post: Pay Day

Behold, the one blog post that may be excused from my endless whining (I know this change of pace may be troublesome, but don't you worry, the complaints will resume and still be thrown at you copiously and perpetually). Today is a special occasion, one in which I'd like to share with you and is perhaps long overdue.

The one day that makes all the nightmares of being attacked by hangers (it happened. and no it's not weird.) worth it.

Pay Day. Oh miraculous it is, because it makes all of my troubles go away. It kindly says "hey, look at all the pretty pretty money now in your bank account. You can spend freely until the novelty wears off (or the money..whichever comes first)."

I give to you...my Marc by Marc Jacobs shorts modeled by yours truly.

- Ya like how they're hiding behind red railing from a playground set? Oh the intrigue

- Voila! Paired with a striped racerback tank from Madewell and a gold necklace from Anthropologie

- the artsy close-up and sea-foam green nails- what a combination!

I'd like to point out that as the positively professional photoshoot continued, the shots grew in seriousness.

For example, I was reading Fashion Gone Rogue one day and decided I'd take on the Photo of the day.

- the original (Photo via Fashion Gone Rogue)

- the Amy (can you see a difference at all? I didn't think so)

Finally, I leave this complaint-free blog with the many faces of Amy!

Hope you've enjoyed your retail experiences lately, otherwise I'm not doing my job very well!

Love,

Amy
