Thank you for the comments, everyone!
Maya, thank you for the compliment on the jeans. They are the COH Elson jeans! I love them. Actually, that day I was very bad. I wanted to wear my jeans, but they weren't hemmed yet, so I just turned them under and wore them as if they were hemmed. It worked out okay, but rest assured, they are at the alteration place and should be done tomorrow! I can't wait. The waistband stretched out a bit too, so I had them take it in at the waist after they were stretched so they would stay up better. I definitely want to duplicate them, and also get black and white Ambers and have them altered to be straight legs like the Elsons. They are very comfy and the rise is perfect.
Antje, the skirt and dress outfits are my favorite as well. I'm enjoying the weather here now, because I know in a couple of months it's going to start getting hot, and then I will be so sad.
Julijuli, I did alter my denim jacket. I had it taken in at the waist. I really like it with skirts, but I feel it's a touch long for dresses. I'm going to duplicate my white jacket, but get it in dark denim instead to wear with dresses. I think it's a cleaner, edgier look.
Marianne, I always try to take my photos during the day, facing the sliding glass window to the balcony. That way I get a lot of light. If I do it at night, I turn on the overhead light, and all the lamps around our living/family room (there are 3). Then, I edit them in Picasa. I usually just do auto contrast and auto color adjust, so it does everything for me. Normally it's pretty true to real life, although, maybe colors are not as intense.
I'm pleasantly surprised that everyone liked Tuesday's outfit the best. I liked it too, but I thought everyone would like Friday's outfit the best (that was my favorite). Maybe because I felt kind of rock and roll in that outfit, which is a bit outside my box. Tuesday's outfit was inspired by the cold (the England cardi is one of the warmest sweaters I own), and also by what I hadn't worn in my closet yet (Express lace top that I got on sale). So I put them together. I'm glad everyone liked it so much!
Monday 1/26 is not a good outfit, I agree with everyone. I'm still figuring out BF cardis, and I just felt kind of blah that day. I still haven't given up on the blouse, but I am going to have the sleeves removed, and then try it under my cream v-neck cardigan instead of the black. Also, I'll pair them with a denim pencil skirt instead of black jeans. I think it will be softer and more "me" that way. Stay tuned.
I do sort my photos into new albums, but when I posted the album URL here, I would have had to post my account password as well, and then everyone can see all my photos. Not that I have anything embarrassing on it, but I'd rather not just give any old person access to post my photos wherever they want all over the internet, you know? Some of you seem to have gone around that somehow, but I can't figure it out.
