I don’t usually post pics of the back of any outfit (except when I’m wearing a sweater covered in bows), but I just got these jeans and I think they make my butt look cute. And I’m trying to show you without being gross. So you can look…but don’t stare too long. Then it gets awkward.

On a less awkward note, I’m so glad it’s warming up just enough to put fun flats back in rotation! Of course I’m wearing ankle boots right now as I type this, but hey, it’s still winter and I want to keep all 10 of my toes if possible.

Hope everyone has a weekend full of lifted cheeks and warm feets.

Part of me said “Should I wear ruffles AND a scarf? Is that too much?” and “Can I pull off ankle boots with these pants even though I’m short?” Then another part of me said “Screw it,” “Do it for the thrill,” “YOLO,” etc. And that’s the story of how I left the house in this outfit. I really don’t consider myself all that daring when it comes to dressing, but by other people’s standards (I’ve learned), I’m basically the fashion equivalent a base jumper.

So what do you think – would you file this under “regular, everyday wear” or “not in a million years”?
