Photographing myself has been unsuccessful... Bad lighting, mirror too small, wrong lens? IDK... Any tips would be appreciated!!!!!!!! What I realize from doing this is that I can put together decent outfits... the hard part is the outfits being practical for a mama of 4 and all it entails. I am linking up with all the other fashion mavens at the Pleated Poppy.

I built this outfit around the tights. I got them at old navy on clearance while I was bday shopping...they were $2.49. Figured I better Hurry up and wear them as the weather is starting to change.
Normally, I would have put brown with this skirt as there is a bit of tan in the tweed... but my fashionista of a hubby and I both agreed that the grey looked good with the skirt. I would also wear boots or different shoes, however standing on cement floors all day ... only allows comfy shoes.
