If you haven't noticed, I have not really been posting regularly. There is reasoning behind it - mainly, I just haven't felt lately that my outfits are really "cool" enough to post up on the interwebs. At some point in this whole process I somehow experienced both a loss of confidence in my own style/appearance coupled with laziness and thus have wondered why to keep on posting pictures of myself on a daily basis. What's the point? And if there's no point, then why try to keep this experiment going?
I am still working on the answers to these questions. But while I haven't been posting regularly, I have been continuing on with taking pictures of outfits. And today as I was looking back through some of my old ones, I realized that I actually like some of my outfits. That though I may wish my hair was longer or wish I was a few pounds lighter or any number of things, I like this outfit. It's way too colorful for my small town, but it's me. And that's all that I ever want to be.
Cardigan, Jeans - Gap
Top, Belt - J.Crew

I don't comment often, but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate a "regular" gal in "regular" clothes. Aspirational & over-the-top fashion blogging styles are a dime a dozen. The one's that I prefer are like yours in which you show clothing I might actually already have in my closet & that I might be able to style as well.
ReplyDeleteKeep being yourself & styling for yourself - it's served you well thus far!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment Jane - it was very much a gift, in that I needed to hear that. I really and truly appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI am not a regular poster for the same reason. I don't wear a "blog-worthy" outfit too often, especially when it's hot. I love the mix of stripes and that limey green cardigan!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to see that Lucky Brand flats sometimes are at TJ Maxx. I have been debating about getting a tan pair, but I don't want to pay full price. Are they quality flats?
ReplyDeleteHey Christina! Yes, I would say that they are quality - it looks like real leather and feels like leather. To be honest, it's been a while since I've worn them around, just because its sandal weather and I can't hardly bear to enclose my feet in sandal weather :). But from what I remember, they were pretty comfy and easy to wear!
ReplyDeleteoh, i know that feeling. i think sometimes we just get lost in what we like, and what is cool and why are we doing all this..
ReplyDeletei love ur outfit, nice color combination. and shoes are great! :)
