BOO! Did I scare you?



LAST DAY of the 10 day challenge. I think for people like Kayla it went fast, but this was PLENTY for me. I think next time I will do 5 days. It was significantly more stretching for me, and I'm still counting my lessons.

So for today: Wear something that scares you.

WHITE. I have 2 small kids. Yep.

This skirt also doesn't fit me great, so it scares me too. And honestly, today might prove to me that I don't need to hang onto it anymore. Which is part of the challenge, I think. The length is a little strange, so I have to hike it up to grandpa-pants height to make it look ok, but then it gets all middle-squidgy. I'm of the opinion that I don't want to own clothes that I have to wrestle with all day. So today it'll get a great send-off.

Here are the pictures:

Cowering in a corner...
Okay, maybe for YOU I will come out.
First two pics in the boots, 2nd in the flats. I will probably go with the boots to make it feel more casual, and because of that frickin-frackin blister on the back of my heel! I've also learned that in skirts that hit right at the knee, I do better in heels because I have rounder calves.
Hi, shoes!
My bracelets from my grandma and the white necklace from the thrift store. ;)

Thanks for hanging with me, everyone! This has been SO good for me to think through a myriad of things, like my philosophy on style and clothes, and what I really want out of what I wear.

Open to Interpretation



Kayla's prompt today was "Open to Interpretation." Every couple weeks she and some buddies choose an inspiration photo and see what they come up with. Here was the prompt. How pretty is she??

Here's my take on it:


Bare feet is how I'll wear this outfit most of the day. I originally had on my denim straight skirt, but I wasn't feelin' it. I missed the neutral color.
This is how I would wear it if I were going to church or a "something." Definitely not today because a.) I have an owie on the back of my heel, and b.) I don't do school pick-up in heels. I just don't.
So while I'm still deciding, it may end up being these. I don't know that I love them--I so adore the look that the heels give this outfit.
But in general, much happier with how this came out than I originally thought I would be!
