This Green Velvet Moto Jacket did not deserve a “face of stone” did it? Well another life lesson or should I say blog lesson for Linda. Be true to you always. I am not sure what possessed me but approximately every year or so I try to change me.
Browsing through pictures of bloggers I love and then I try to change my facial expression. I start believing everyone wants to see stone face. And then I ruin a perfect outfit with stone face.
Happy Smiley Face
I like to smile. Like to try on pretty clothes. And I like being happy. So why in heck do I look at your serious pictures and think I need to copy you? Darn peer pressure. I saw an Instagram Bio today, Mariesbazaar.
What I did not realize, she is like me, Her Bio is “I like to smile & wear cute clothes “. Well guess what, me too.I like to smile and this is me so why do I try and get all sour face? Darn it Linda, be you, be true. so no more sad face even though I think I may have said that before.
So look at the picture above and the one below, which do you think is better? or rather more me? I can honestly say smiling is more on point. Plus who wouldn’t be smiling with this moto and the dress right?
Green Velvet Moto Jacket
Last year, I walked in to Forever 21 in Atlanta and I saw this jacket, for $12.00. I was like the lady in the IKEA commercial… “Start the Car” I mean really look at this beauty, green, velvet and Moto. What is not to love? Throw it over a fun embroidered dress I found at Target ( also 11.00) and I am in new outfit love. And to make life complete a tassel necklace that my Nana use to wear and Oxford booties from GH Bass
Pouty Face no more
Honestly look at this sour puss face….
vs slightly smiling or even happy face
Real Me
This is real and this is me, happy smiling and just having fun with life.

OMG! I love, love, love this outfit! That green velvet moto jacket is stunning. And the embroidered dress, so pretty. Well done!
And I totally agree, each of us should be who we are and not find it necessary to emulate others.

Such a cute embroidered dress and I love the velvet moto – I’ve seen a lot of velvet jackets but never a moto before, it’s awesome! 🙂 I think we should do what makes us happy in photos! 🙂
Hope that your week is going well and you have a fun weekend ahead of you 🙂

I love your big smile: you are real and your personality shines through in your outfits and smiley pictures! And you always find the greatest clothes. I have not been in Forever 21 in forever!

Linda, you crack me up! I have tried serious and pouty faces before and I just can’t do it either. I start laughing or I just look ridiculous! Every once in a very great while, my husband will catch a serious face on me where I don’t look like a complete idiot! But I agree with you, just keep smiling and laughing, that is who we are! Now onto your outfit! Green velvet moto jacket! Yes, please! It would be perfect with my black watch plaid slip dress today. Hehe. And how cute is that embroidered dress. I want this outfit!

It is pretty, and I love dark green velvet. I made a photo album cover with it, and forest green ties. Nice color.

Thank you, and I know that I just sometimes forget it or fall for ” herd /crowd mentality”
vanity And Me says
Even when I think I’m smiling my photos can come out stone faced! I nearly called the blog Sour Faced Cow! Gorgeous jacket Linda, I really like that xx
Linda Cassidy says
you are too funny. Would have been interesting to see how many clicks came over with that title. Here we call it “resting bitch face” lol
Laura says
Love that velvet moto jacket! You look great!
Linda Cassidy says
Thanks, it was such a great find
Savvy Southern Chic says
Love the jacket! And I love the smiling fun Linda too. I don’t do serious looks well, so I always smile for blog photos. I look mad if I don’t smile. I do like to try new poses once in a while to mix it up.
Linda Cassidy says
I keep trying them and they look so funny and I finally realized I like to smile.. The jacket is going to be on repeat
