"a beautiful dress may look beautiful on a hanger, but that means nothing. 
it must be seen on the shoulders, with the movement of the arms, the legs, and the waist."

 robert sometimes gives me a hard time saying i always look unhappy in blog photographs. 
i promise, i am not. i just sometimes feel like a huge cheeseball smiling in photos. 
but when wearing yellow, it's hard not to smile.

  4. I've never noticed you looking unhappy! Maybe it's because I find you so visually striking. Speaking of, you look phenomenal here. I love the cheery yellow and you do have a smile that could melt ice.
