Do you know how bad I wanted to say “let’s blow this Popsicle stand!” while wearing this outfit? Like, so bad. But the opportunity didn’t present itself. And with a joke that bad, you have to make it count. Maybe next time.

But at least I did check one thing off my to-do list with this ensemble. I’ve been wanting to try the belted scarf look since last fall (I pinned this look from Lacey way back in November) but never got around to it. Now that warm weather is here, that doesn’t mean I lost my chance! Turns out a summer scarf works just as well. So bust out your breeziest scarf and a cute braided belt, and let’s blow this Popsicle stand! No? Still not the right time? Dammit.

The last time I wore this dress, someone (a male someone) commented on Facebook that the dress would look great with heels. I was temporarily annoyed that a man was telling me what I should wear, and I thought about responding, but then I realized the comment was primarily an innocent compliment and a feminist rant wasn’t really necessary. Do you ladies see where I’m coming from, though? It might be unfair, but men don’t get to tell me to wear uncomfortable shoes. I will wear uncomfortable shoes, but no one gets to tell me to wear them unless that person has walked a mile in 3″ heels. It’s the principle of the thing.

As much as I love my heels, I love my flats just as much. I’m just an equal opportunity shoe lover. I probably will wear heels with this dress eventually, but when I do, it’ll be on my own terms. 😉 All this reminds me of the song “Put Yourself First” from the show Crazy Ex Girlfriend. Check out the video on YouTube …but only if you have a sense of humor.
