I’m fully aware this sweater is not flattering on me. It doesn’t look bad, but it definitely doesn’t cast my bod in the best possible light either. But I don’t care. It’s chunky and comfy and soft and I like the color. You know how they say you have to learn the rules of something before you can break them? I’m pretty sure I have a handle on the rules of dressing at this point, so this is me breaking them. The Mauve Rebellion: you heard it here first.

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?!
