Covered-Up Confidence

I swear I’m not pregnant. It was just a gust of wind combined with a swingy sweater.

See? Definitely not pregnant. (Those Pure Barre classes are really paying off, too!)

This was last week’s Friday night outfit. Yes, as in Halloween. I know…I’m boring. But I figure my borderline Pentecostal outfit makes up for all the girls who use Halloween as an excuse to dress like strippers. (“I’m a mouse, duh!”) But wait – sexy shoes! Yes. But even those didn’t last all night. I wore them for a few hours, and then it started SNOWING. I wasn’t about to be the girl wearing open-toed shoes in the snow, so I changed into more substantial boots for the rest of the night. So yeah, the tiny bit of sexy I DID have going quickly disappeared.

But for the record, I still felt fabulous and confident. And what’s sexier than confidence, right? I think I heard Sofia Vergara say that one time, so it must be true. That Plain Jane doesn’t have much else going for her. Hopefully she at least dressed up special for Halloween.

Fall Is Coming…

I can tell fall is almost here! And it’s not just because it was cool enough this week to wear a sweater dress and boots. It’s also because I have a calendar, and it says fall is almost here.

It seems I’m not the only one who can read a calendar, because the “How to Wear Ankle Boots” post I wrote back in January is getting a ton of hits this month, after a summer of not much action. Clearly the rest of the world is ready for sweater weather, too.

When I wore these boots over the weekend (for another night of Bar results celebration), I discovered a little bit of dried salt from the last time I wore them in the snow – a not-so-pleasant reminder of what comes after fall. Ugh. Let’s enjoy it while we can.
