Shell, you look absolutely adorable! You can definitely pool off the BR pearls, and that's quite rare.

I do not think there's anything wrong with the Monday outfit, it looks very cute to me. You could try a scarf, or a belt, or layering it over white shirt and adding a necklace.

Shell, I agree you always look so cute. I love the way you pull colors together. And I love the way you always look so happy!

"The Notebook" one of my favorites too.

Shell, Tuesday's outfit is my favorite for this week -- love the blue colors and you rock ruffles! I think Monday's outfit looks fine as a casual outfit but I think it's a very simple outfit for you (single color top, no ruffles) so maybe that's why you felt it didn't work. I like the combination of orange and pink.

Shell those ruffled blouses are gorgeous!! I really love the colours in Thursday's outfit too!!

"but why can't my life be the catwalk? :)"
LOL Shell;-)) And yes, you really can pull them off!

You look good in so many colours (love you in blues and greens and purples as well). I don't think the pink sweater in the first picture is too bland, but like Aj said, you're probably just not used to this look.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the yellow(?) cardi on Friday, it seems to wash you out a little (or maybe it's just the necklace in that similar colour?).

Shell, you look great! My favorite is Tuesday's outfit with the ruffled blouse and cardi. I love those two shades of blue together.

I agree with Inge about the cardi. Maybe a different shade of yellow might look better with your skin tone?

I like Monday's outfit. The color is great on you. You could definitely change it up with different accessories like a scarf of belt. Also, you can definitely pull of the BR pearls!

I like the pearls! And I really liked all your looks. It's very effortless.
You look great in the skirt, too!

Thumbs up for it all!

Shell, I love the ruffles and those chestnut boots are amazing! I agree with Sarah, your look is effortless. Definitely more skirts and lipgloss! :D You look so beautiful and happy on your birthday, it sounds like you had a wonderful time, too.

Sunday 1/25 is probably my favorite, because I love polka dots, and the green and purple combination with it is just adorable. I love how you mix colors, you have a good eye for that sort of thing.
