Last Thursday this skirt I ordered from Loft came in, just in time for me to wear it to work Friday for Go Red Day. I don’t generally make a point to “celebrate” Go Red Day, but the timing was just too good. Once I had the skirt, the rest of this outfit fell together pretty quickly, and I just loved it. Funny enough, the day I wore this outfit was the same day I vented on the blog about how I’m proud of not being perfect. Not gonna lie, I felt pretty much perfect in this and I didn’t hate the feeling.

Speaking of last Friday’s post, you guys are all WAY TOO NICE to me. Seriously, you’re the best. From now on when I’m feeling down, I’m just going to tell you that someone said something mean about me and then let you pump my ego back up. I feel like I should do a quick followup to my “Not Perfect” post though, because I’m afraid I gave off the impression that “Regina” was being horrible and rude, and that’s really not the case. The context of her comment was that she LIKES my blog and was recommending it to other people. It’s just that I’m human and it’s hard to ignore the criticism even if it’s sandwiched between two compliments. So there’s no reason to beat up on Regina. She brought traffic to my blog and gave me something to write about.

OK, so back to today’s prompt, which is: how perfect is this outfit?!

A Survival Guide for Winter Wardrobes

This post is intended for winter wardrobes. If you’re a human, move aside and call your sweaters and boots over. I don’t care if they’re hungover. These tips will make them feel better.

Ready, wardrobes? OK. Take notes on these 5 seasonal must-haves.

1.  Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaner*

Oh hey, wools and delicate fabrics. Feeling dirty but have separation anxiety? You don’t have to go the dry cleaners if your owner has Dryel because you can get freshened up at home in the dryer. Have motion sickness? Can’t help you there. You do have to tumble around, but it’s super quick and the scent of Dryel will soothe you.

2.  Lint Roller

If you don’t have one of these within 20 feet at all times, there’s a problem. Especially if there are animals in your home. Why does your owner insist on picking up the cat while wearing you? I can’t explain her poor life choices, but I can tell you that a lint roller will change your life. Never let it run out.

3.  Sweater Shaver

Listen, knits. We all get older, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. If you’re starting to pill, it just means you’ve lived a full life with someone who loves to wear you. (It could also mean you’re a cheap piece of crap, but I’m sure you have a great personality.) While there’s no magic solution to make you live forever or look brand new again, a sweater shaver can prolong your life and make you look presentable. I’ve heard a Mediterranean diet is also helpful.

4.  Leather & Suede Protector

This one’s for you, boots. Unless you’re made of rubber, don’t go out in bad weather without protection. Your owner didn’t save up her money to buy you just to have you go and get ruined during the first snow of the season. Have some pride, for goodness’ sake.

5.  Downy Wrinkle Releaser

Fear the evil iron no more (well, at least hardly ever). Just take a shower in this stuff the night before you’re going to be worn, and you won’t make your owner look like the hot mess that she actually is. This is as close as a miracle product as you’re going to get. You can thank me later.
