The other day I discovered that one of my lovely readers mentioned me on this forum where people talk about fashion blogs. She said mostly very nice things, but with the caveat that I’ve had a lot of “TOTAL misses.” Yes, “total” was in all caps. For a second I had sort of a Mean Girls-style “that’s only OK when I say it” moment. After crying over a pint of ice cream for a couple hours, I embraced the criticism.
Thank you, reader whom I shall call Regina. Thank you for noticing that I don’t conveniently forget to post my not-so-perfect outfits. Thank you for noticing that I like to experiment. Thank you for noticing that I am not willing to freeze to death just to look more fashionable.
You rock, Regina. And this outfit post is dedicated to you.
I’m not a huge fan of how it looks to have this black tee peeking out at my waist. I think a white tee would have looked a little better, but I only have a short sleeve one, and I wanted long sleeves to add some warmth. In a perfect world, I would have worn this without any shirt underneath and without tights and I would have worn it to some fabulous brunch. In June. But I wore it to work in February. I do the best I can with what I’ve got, and I share it with you no matter what.
So thanks once again to Regina and to all the rest of you for supporting me and my imperfectness. There’s plenty of faux-perfection in the blogosphere. Thank goodness you have me to screw up once in awhile (but not THAT often, right?).
