Knotted Chambray & a Mullet Dress

This outfit is from last Saturday, when I ran a couple errands and went out to eat for my bro’s birthday. (Girls can be bros. I looked it up in the Bro Code.)

Last weekend, the temperatures took an unexpected dip so I had this big dilemma over what to wear. It was like nothing in my closet was working for me. I wanted to wear something cute and springy because it was the weekend, but my delicate constitution and lack of meaningful body fat told me I should probably cover up. I get whiney when I’m cold, and nobody wants to deal with that.

For some reason my new jean jacket that I thought would go with everything just didn’t look right with this dress. I looked oddly wide. I’m hoping the jacket and I will reconcile soon, but in the meantime I was able to count on my chambray – tied at the waist of course.

So the moral of the story is: If you don’t know what to wear, just stay home. Or wear something like this. You’re welcome.

Carousel Animals

I’m trying to be better about making impulse purchases. My aim is to only buy things after I’ve thought it through and decided in advance what I really want to add to my closet. But the thing is…I didn’t know until I saw this shirt that it was even an option to have a shirt with rainbow colored carousel animal silhouettes. If I had known that a shirt with rainbow colored carousel animal silhouettes existed, it would have been on my well thought out shopping list and this wouldn’t have been an impulse buy. Also it was on sale.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
