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.

When I see someone wearing a shirt with words on it underneath something that hides part of those words, I get kind of frustrated. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR SHIRT SAYS. But I kind of like being on the other side. It’s like having a secret, and I get to think about how everyone else is left wondering (muahaha!). Does my sweatshirt say “mô money, mô problems”? Or does it just say “love” in French? OK, fine. It’s the latter. But the former would make an excellent sweatshirt for European rappers.
