This is why I’m not a model.
That skirt though? That’s the reason I posted the photo (another by Arnold Klein).
It’s on sale, about half off, and it’s amazing. It pairs well with a simple top, tucked in, and with heels (in brown, red, camel, black, whatever). Definitely my new favorite thing to wear.

April 22, 2013 at 10:18 ami think that you would make a terrific model. I like photos that showcase people being happy and having fun. Definitely better than the too serious face most models wear in catalogues.

July 16, 2018 at 1:26 pmDitto! They look anorexic and very pi**ed off? Also what is with all of the crotch shots? Even high muckety mucks are posing with their legs akimbo? I am too old for this new world.

April 22, 2013 at 10:53 amThis photo is EXACTLY why you should be a model! It’s fun and interesting and alive. Like you! Your hair looks awesome too. xo

April 22, 2013 at 11:00 amI think you’re on to something Nicole! If I saw your photo in a magazine wearing that skirt, I’d want that skirt! There’s something refreshing about seeing the skirt worn in true life. I would love a magazine that featured everyday folks wearing the clothes. I would order more often!
Hannah
April 22, 2013 at 11:29 amGosh, your hair is adorable.
Teri
April 22, 2013 at 11:47 amIf anthropologie used more adorable, happy, non-model models, I would buy their clothes. How can I possibly judge if a skirt would look good on me, when their models are chihuahuas and I am a golden retriever?

April 22, 2013 at 1:09 pmHaha. So adorable. You make an awesome model with personality.

April 22, 2013 at 1:16 pmso cute! bummer – the shirt you linked to is super cute but it’s out of stock :(
Making it Lovely
April 22, 2013 at 1:21 pmOh, darn. It wasn’t when I first linked to it. Limited and Old Navy both tend to carry similar, inexpensive tops on a regular basis though, if you’re looking for another option.
Catherine
April 22, 2013 at 2:08 pmOh man, I’ve had my eye on that skirt. So glad you got it! :)
Hannah Jade
April 22, 2013 at 2:18 pmGosh your hair looks lovely.

April 22, 2013 at 5:52 pmStop posting photos of your new hair do!!!! (ok, I don’t actually mean that). I am even more tempted to chop off my locks every time I see yours.

April 22, 2013 at 7:43 pmI dare you to stop being so adorable! Btw – that haircut is seriously rad. I’m down with the midi skirt coming back in style. Not sure I can personally pull it off seeing as I’m 5 foot 0, but I love it on others.
Happy Monday,

April 23, 2013 at 11:03 amI’d love to see what kind of photos they’d take with you in your light pink, maxi, ballerina-esque skirt! This skirt is cool, but that skirt had me swooning.
Making it Lovely
April 23, 2013 at 11:14 amI still love that skirt, too.

April 23, 2013 at 1:28 pmOkay…I NEED those glasses. Please tell me where those came from!
Amelia
April 23, 2013 at 2:19 pmI’m definitely on the “love your hair” bandwagon. So I have to ask – how is the upkeep so far? I’d love to go short, but I’m scared of the maintenance…

Laurel
May 5, 2013 at 12:18 pmI agree with all the others – your hair is fabulous and it makes me want to chop mine off! But I have another question…where did you find the yellow shirt you’re wearing there? It’s gorgeous!

May 5, 2013 at 9:09 pmThanks! The shirt was from Anthropologie, a few seasons ago.

May 14, 2013 at 6:32 pmjust purchase the skirt, and because they did not have my size, they called another store, and they shipped for free, and it was on sale.
