It’s a tale as old as time: you go to Target for sriracha and leave with a new outfit. The next day you go back for antacids, and get a bag to match.

I don’t actually remember what groceries and household items I went in for last week, but sure enough I walked out with a new wardrobe. I don’t shop as incessantly as I used to a couple years ago, but sometimes the mood strikes me and I run with it – or, you know, lightly jog with it so as not to get carried away.

When I was getting dressed last weekend, I had the sudden urge to be one of those uber-chic women wearing an all-black outfit and red lipstick. So I put on black jeans, a black tee, and a black blazer and looked at myself in the mirror for about .08 seconds before thinking “NOPE. NOT ME.” I replaced the black tee with a ridiculous striped tee with embroidered lips all over it, and I felt much better.

I’m just not that girl. I’m this girl. When I first started blogging, I spent a lot of time trying to recreate other people’s style. Six years later, I have a much better handle on my own style (which I define as “girly badass”), and my bubble necklace went to Goodwill a looong time ago.

So if you think wearing a shirt covered in embroidered lips is idiotic, then for the love of Blog don’t do it. I love the idea that once in a while I’m inspiring your outfit, but if I’m convincing you to just copy whatever I do without thinking, then I’m doing it wrong, and so are you. You do you, girl.
