The title of this post should be read to the tune of These are a few of my favorite things if one so desires
So today's outfit was hastily thrown together! I know what you're thinking you're kidding right? Well Mondays for me seem to as of late have become a fashion crisis sort of day. Sunday night I'll go to bed having picked out my outfit and be convinced I'll look wonderful but in the morning suddenly it looks completely wrong. I'll try on several outfits and still feel like a lumpy potato. Clothes will be draped over chairs, hasty slipped off and lumped onto the floor, or scattered over my bed. I'll be staring at myself in the mirror at this point and be about to just throw on a tank top and shorts and just call it a day. Then suddenly when all seems lost I'll see something, anything that will inspire me. Today I saw this ruffled blouse in my closet that sparked a whole new set of outfit ideas into life. I tried on several outfits but nothing seemed to work and so I decided to do something a little different and make it dress up a polka dot dress instead of be the focal point of my outfit. (get it? dress up lol)
Tired of my silly puns yet? I hope not because they just keep coming! Before I forget Happy Leap Year Day! I actually have a lot on my plate for this week so I thought what better way to start it off right than to start it off dressed up nicely. So even though I wasn't going anywhere or doing anything special besides reluctantly going to my lectures today I slipped on some charming shoes. As the saying goes "good shoes will take you to good places" and I honestly believe that. On my way to my astronomy lecture I passed by a friend I hadn't been able to see in awhile because our schedules conflicted. I was able to spend half an hour just chatting and catching up with her something I hadn't even planned to do, I hope the rest of the week fares half as nicely as today did. Sometimes keeping your self positive and starting the week off on a good foot and really transform can ordinary day into a wonderful day. Today a lot of people asked me why I was dressed up so nice and my reply was always the same when you dress good, don't you feel good? I always try to look my best even if it's just in some work out clothes going to a yoga class (I'll put a cute hair accessory in and wear some flattering tights and a comfortable but still nice top). I believe every moment is a moment to cherish and you never know who you'll meet just doing groceries so I always look nice, not always in heels and pearls but always in something I can look back on and think "well at least I was wearing clean clothes" instead of "I can't believe I wore my shoes that were falling apart and I think my hair was a mess and did I even brush my teeth, oh gosh what if there was spinach in my teeth I'm just going to crawl under a rock now!"
