Let's get one thing out in the open. I am THE worst model of all time. I never know what to do with my arms, I am always squinting, and I have about 2 poses in my repertoire. (I think I should send in this last picture for my Top Model audition.) Now that that's been put out there....
When I saw Annie in this top, I nearly passed out. Polka dots AND sequins? I searched for it the following week at JCrew, and the price made me want to cry. Go figure, right? Last weekend, though, I saw this top on the 40% off rack, with an additional 40% off of that, and with a gift card burning a hole in my Vera Bradley back pack, I took this baby home with me! I can't wait to wear it every day for the rest of my life!!

ah im with you. I mean really.. what is one really supposed to do with their hands?! LOVE the top. I think I need it!
that top is so cute! I love it with the red pants! and I have about one good pose too!
I squint like it's my job, so I hear you! Love this outfit- the touch of sequins and red look great together!
Ah I hear you I am not good at either!

I LOVE colored jeans! So fun, and I'm sorry but I am the one with awkward poises and such. You look super cute in your photos. Now that we have that settled, you look adorable and I love the jeans. :)

Your pictures look great. But I completely understand what you are saying. Posing can be pretty awkward. Some bloggers seem to be natural models. You look awesome, love the entire outfit.
oh please! you could definitely be a model. I disagree!! and that top is awesome. anything with sequins and polka dots is right with me!
I'm having this squinty problem too!
Your pictures look great though and that top is awesome!
I swear we are two peas in a pod! Do you know what I bought last Friday? Red jeans. ($70 at Belk, on sale for $19!) Do you know what I plan to wear them with? Short sleeved sequin top. But mine does not have polka dots. I am a sad panda.
So cute!!!! :)
This is such a ridiculously cute outfit! Love the shirt!
Have a great day,

So so cute!! You are rocking that shirt!
I drooled over that very shirt online. The original price was cringe-worthy. Congrats on the awesome score! And with red pants...yes!
You are NOT a horrible model. I think we all suffer from un-known arm posing syndrome. I obviously made that up but it's true. I think you look awesome and you're right that shirt is pretty perfect. Especially with those pants. Also pretty perfect.

So cute I love polka dots and with sequins-score :-) Looks great paired with the red pants!
HOLYCRAP I LOVE THIS OUTFIT. ashley. i die. seriously. i am having serious style envy right now. you look amazing!
Love love love how you styled that top - it's perfect with the red pants!

Gimme gimme!!!!! I love everything about this!!!!
Hold the phone. Polka dots AND sequins?!? Not only COULD you be a model, you had two children come out of you and you still look smokin! Soo, puh-lease! ;)
I've been admiring that top on every blogger that has it! I always have the same poses too for photos, I need to learn new ones, haha.

I've been seeing this shirt everywhere too, how GORGEOUS is it??? So glad you are a proud owner, I may be a little jealous. I'm pretty sure you can wear it every day for the rest of your life because it will match anything.
Well darling none of us have model coaches telling us what to do with our bodies in front of cameras...so we all can feel silly but know this:: You are a knock out and you look amazing in this outfit! I love the red pants and the busy top! You would think they would be too busy together but it so works and I want that top (could you imagine me in that girly top...haha..)!

and i am totally the worst model ever.

I like your first pose :)
Cute top by the way!
You are beautiful! I love the top and the red jeans! Awkward posing is way more fun than perfect pictures any way! Though, to me you don't look awkward at all.
J.Crew sales make my little heart flutter! And that top is to die for, I've seen it a bunch on the website but never saw it "in person" until now. It looks great on you! And aside from being awkward and gangly in front of a camera, I only ever wear black, so I'm definitely not equipped to do fashion posts like you! xo
Ah I am obsessed with this shirt too! What a steal! I think you're a great model; you always put together the best outfits!
Sequins, Polka Dots and Red Pants? I'm in! Love it even more knowing you got a killer deal as well!
I love this top!! You got such a great deal on it too - even better!!
Your modeling is awesome. Don't let your arms and squinty eyes ( which they are sooo not) tell you otherwise! I love seeing how you style and model everything. A.k.a.--I need this shirt!
OMG! You got SUCH a deal! I'm so jealous! And I think you are a fabulous model!! Love the top and the red pants with it too!
hi Ashley! You are so fun. I know what you mean about posing. I did the cutest snap when doing my latest post but my hand was in a weird spot and I couldn't use it. Maybe I'll do a post with all my odd pics sometime for a blast of LOL. I love your red pants. so awesome.
OBSESSED with your top! I've been wanting that one FOREVER! Polka dots and sequins? Yes please!
Ahhh stop stop STOP with the cuteness!!!! Polka dots and sequins!! Too much.

Gorgeous!
LOVE this shirt and it looks fabulous with the red pants. Work it girl!

Holy hot tamale!!!! I wanted this top too!! Definite score!! And you are a gorg model!!! Thanks for linking up again this week! Love ya!
Gosh i love the top!! I hope I can find it on the discount rack! Im going to look! And I think I am the worst model ever. You are adorable!
I feel the same way about modeling. Look cute though!
This is so fun! I think you look great and confident, poses aside. :)
I feel like I don't know what to do with my arms, either. The old one-hand-on-hip always works. Or what I do is pretend I'm at one of those parties where it's just standing around and talking, and the camera is the person I'm currently listening to. And sometimes shots where you're *not* looking at the camera can be good mixed in, too.
This outfit is AWESOME. Red jeans, polka dots, SEQUINS?! what more could a girl want!?!

Polka dots are great. Sequined polka dots are better! Love it!
Dang! I saw that shirt at JCrew and wanted to get it. Then- I went back on what I thought was going to be the big sale day and the JCrew at my mall said CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS! SO sad...now it's worse since you got it and look adorable in it!
Oh well...I love the red pants.
Check me out in my red pants from Old Navy
that is soooo cute! and the price! amazing!!
i always think you look so cute in your pictures! and i love that top... especially since you are wearing my teams colors :)
I love that you paired it with red pants! Great outfit!
I am a horrible poser! My arms are always stiff looking lol. I hate looking at photos of myself.
Yay for bargain hunting - and I like how you've paired them with those awesome pants
Crap, now I need that top. I need to figure out how to shop the right sales at JCrew,. Their clothes are so great, but their prices, like you say, make you want to cry.
I love the shirt with the pants. Great pre-valentines day outfit. Have a great day cutie.
A great sale and gift card, how could you not! So cute
I loooveee that top. When you're done with it, you can just send it to me!
Just found your blog and I love it.

You are a pretty model! Loooove the shirt! And on sale, awesome!!
I'm obsessed with sequins right now! I have sequin shorts and sequin pants but not a sequin top! I'll definitely have to look into that!
And I love how you took a top with a bold material and a bold pattern and made it look so refine!
