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.

It’s unlike me, but I’ve been wearing a lot of black and white lately. I’ll blame it on the cooler weather. I must admit, it does make it easier to pull an outfit together. But because I’m a person with ambition who always wants to challenge herself, I plan to continue wearing colors and mixed prints and all that good stuff. An underachiever I am not. I mean an underachiever would not wear shooties – that’s a combination of shoes and booties. Consider yourself wowed.
