I am my own worst critic and never like myself in photos. But one of my most time consuming and ever evolving projects is me...
(Photos taken by Little Man.)
I am a 39 year old mother to two, wife of nearly 20 years and recent transplant to the beautiful state of South Carolina. 5 foot tall, 95 lbs on a good day, and built with an XS frame which makes clothes shopping something of a chore. I am driven by bargains, but never scrimp on a good pair of jeans. I always choose cute shoes over comfort... I love layering clothes, repurposing and accessorizing with simple pieces. I am not ashamed to wear kid's clothing or thrift finds. And am always up for trying new product lines! (Wink, wink.) You can read more about me here.
See if you can find how many times I wore the same jeans or black shoes? Nothing better than favorite go to staple pieces. Ha.Top left: red raspberry capris from dELiA's, hat from Gap Kids, striped top from T.J.Maxx, Shoes from Kohl's, bangles from Forever 21

Lish, I love your "about page"! You look great and much younger than 39! I wish I had size xs. I think I have to take the "s" away and put a "l" behind the x. lol
ReplyDeleteI´m glad you like your new home.
Have a wonderful summer!
Hug´s,
Verena
It's a mystery to me Lish, why you would be hard on yourself looks-wise? My goodness, you are super cute.
ReplyDeleteI envy your teensy-ness.
I think if I stood next to you, I'd feel like a giant. But I'd still love the chance to stand next to you, even though i would suffer by comparison.
Have fun working on that About Me Page!

You have nothing to worry about, you always look stunning in photos :) And your little man has some great photographic skills there!! I really need to get in front of the camera more, I'm doing Project 52 and 366 this year and I'm only in a couple of shots so far, I must fix that before the end of the year!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! I would never have guessed you were 39! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Ps Thank you for including my button in your WW lineup xx
ReplyDeleteyou are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely pictures of you. And you look ageless. :-)

Wow fab photos :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, look like they're straight out of a magazine.
ReplyDeleteBeing in front of the camera is harder than being behind the camera in my experience :) Your "project" looks good!!
ReplyDeleteGreat looks!!!!!! Thanks for hosting and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFall off the chair - stunning!
ReplyDeleteThese look great!! I'm trying to get over my fear of being in pictures so that I can do some What I Wore outfit posts, but it's so hard to find a picture of me that isn't too horrible to post. I've managed to do one outfit post so far!
ReplyDeleteI would love to stand next to you so I could feel tall at 5ft 1 inch!
You are GORGEOUS mama! Love this post <3
ReplyDeleteYou should post more pics like these ones. You have great fashion sense and you are just plain beautiful. Also, I want those Via Spiga shoes. And the white capris. Oh, and that sweater from T.J. Maxx...
ReplyDeleteI need to rehash my About page too. Can I borrow Little Man to take some shots of me? He did great!
ReplyDeleteThe whole ensemble on the top right…oooo I want that! I’m so jealous…I do not having any fashion sense at all (seriously – the office I work in is usually freezing so every day I wear slacks, a cami, and a different sweater). Keep posts like this coming…maybe some of us fashion challenged can learn a thing or two.
ReplyDeleteAlica, you are so beautiful and so much more than the clothes you wear. I see you through what you see in your camera lens, if only you could photograph yourself, I think you'd be happier with the results, becasue I'm confident you'd be showing us more of who you are.
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome and darling clothes you wear!! Great photography too, thanks for the linky today!!
ReplyDeleteYour gorgeous!!! I don't know if I would ever be brave enough to do an "about me" post. It would probably be good though because I love finding out more about the bloggers themselves.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

I really like your style! And your pics are lovely, really they are.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo on the top right, so beautiful and I love those boots!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic and definitely not 39. Love your sense of style! ♥
ReplyDeleteAlways cool to get a glimpse at the one behind the blog. Lovely for sure, your blog suits you well :)
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful, and your photography is excellent! New follower from the blog hop. :D
ReplyDeleteWow, you look gorgeous Alicia! 39 is treating you very well indeed. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

You look hot in deed! Love those shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen a beautiful model type like you doesn't like the way she looks in pictures, I have to wonder if anyone is happy with their own photos. Thanks for linking up.

You are so stinkin' cute!!! No wonder those kids of yours are so beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteTiffany
You, my dear, are stunning and sassy. All of those photos are beautiful. I'm in awe of your ability to pick stylish shoes over comfort. Once upon a time, before I had a 4-year old and a 1-year old, I loved a good pair of heels. Now, there's just no way that I can chase my boys around in anything but flats.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos as usual. I really enjoy seeing your work. I like the vintage camera used in the photos too. I do remember the "flash bulb days" too. They were sometimes hot too.
ReplyDeleteYou are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI think we are all our own worst critics. You are a doll and look fantastic in every shot.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! You're just a tiny little thing, aren't you? :)
ReplyDeleteThrough a Lens and a Windshield
LOVE all these pictures of you!
ReplyDeleteI am totally guilty of not taking pictures of myself. I did actually have a photographer take pictures of me recently, so hopefully I will get new headshots up on my blog soon!
YOU are so completely adorable!!! Love the photos of you!! :)
ReplyDelete~Tabitha
Great photos and love the style!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree--never scrimp on a good pair of jeans!
ReplyDeleteOh! If I only looked like you... ;) Love your photos - you look stunning in all of them. I need to start practising this, but besides selfies I also struggle writing in english :D
ReplyDeleteLooks great! And you look fabulous!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove these, you are so beautiful. 5 times?
ReplyDeleteYou're so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could fit in XS clothes too! :D
Alicia, you are absolutely beautiful!! And you look wonderful for 39!! Your little man did a great job with those photos.
ReplyDeleteI think us women are our own worst critics. I have 2 very tiny built (but relatively tall) daughters - one 5'6" and the other 5'7" BUT both very very tiny in size for their height and both wish they looked different!! I on the other hand am quite tall 5'9" (tallest woman in my family for generations) and quite a lean build but I look at myself and see flaws I wish I could change. I believe we are all a work in progress.
Pretty pictures. Did your son take them all?
ReplyDeleteI'm quite the opposite of you. Tall. Very tall. I used to wish I was a foot shorter. Now I have a son who is 6'5" so I'm not so obvious when I'm out with him. ;) I love how God made us all so unique.
I feel shabby after visiting here now. Hehehe... I guess I need to go pick out something super cute from my closet. I find that nice clothes that fit really well help chase off morning blues too. Makes me feel productive to get up and get dressed in the morning. I think that's because this is the first time that I am not expecting or having a newborn around like we usually do every two years. Getting dressed used to be a chore. HAHA!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Dee
You are super cute. Lovely photos of you.
ReplyDeleteAlicia...you have done such a tremendous job on the about me page!!! It is so professional, fun, create...do I need to go on:) Your blog just speaks you. You should be really proud of what you have created here.
ReplyDeleteLaurie @ pride in photos
I love hearing more about you!!! We would have a good time shopping together
ReplyDeleteFirst time linking up. Lovely to find your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou are just too cute, and does your little man photograph have any openings? Have a great Wednesday!
ReplyDeletefabulous photos! i wish i was so inspired to be the one in front of the lens too. ;) thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteAlicia
ReplyDeleteSounds like we have a similar problem. I, too, am little and find shopping can be more a chore than fun. I have a terrible time finding shoes that are small enough! The kids section can be a lifesaver.
Neat photos of you! The one of you in the field smelling wild flowers is my favorite.
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell, you're just adorable. <3
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! I HATE pictures of myself, and talking about myself! Love your taste in clothes!! Thanks for linking up with The BOAT!
ReplyDeleteI love these!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous girl!!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable, lish!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos! (Little Man is quite the photographer!) You look great no matter what your wearing. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful! What a wonderful portfolio for you and your posterity. Thank you for hosting this great party. Shan
ReplyDeleteBravo! Great fashion show...& terrific photography as always.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought these were professional photos with a model, not pics of a mom taken by her son!!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in each and every one :-)
ReplyDeleteI think that you are an awesome mom... and from all of your pictures, a beautiful person...
ReplyDeleteI bet you are an amazing friend... and we all know you are a phenomenal photographer!
LOVED seeing all your photos of YOU :) nice treat
You are beautiful! Love every outfit and your accessories, especially your jeans and shoes! :D I think our tastes are so similar! Its nice to get to know you a little more. You truly are a beautiful person. By the way, Little Man is quite an amazing photographer!
ReplyDeleteYou are so pretty! Wish I was stylish at all. My "uniform" is jeans or shorts and a t.
ReplyDeleteYou are simply beautiful. Why aren't you a supermodel yet? I was able to find your blog from the Wordless Wednesday Link party.
