It's my day off today!
So why did I get all dressed up? Heck, why am I even awake at this hour?
I made a promise to myself that today would be a "take one picture and walk away" day. I've made myself this promise in the past and I've still always re-taken the picture, changed and re-taken the picture, or tried to find a prop that would make the picture look any better.
Today? I took one picture. I looked at it and don't really like it, but I'm just NOT taking another. SO THERE, ME! I even wore some make-up.
I like the top normally, but today it just looks tenty and like it gives me no shape at all. Not something I usually go for. Maybe it washes me out. The seams on the shirt and the fly on my jeans doesn't line up, and that makes me think that it must look like I walk with a permanent kink in my hips. Maybe I'm just trying to find fault where there is none, who knows.
Maybe I should quit while I'm still ahead.

Too funny - I clicked on your blog and had to walk away for a bit, but first I thought "man, she looks happy!". Then I read your post, and was rather surprised at the discrepancy between my first thought and your words. I definitely disagree about the yellow "washing you out". As a matter of fact, I kind of thought you were so happy because the colour made you feel that way.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I thought you looked dang cheerful. And how adorable is that little tie lacing on the front!!
ReplyDeleteI've got to agree with the people above - the fact that you look happy really overshadows any of the faults you mentioned - honestly, I don't even see them. It's all in your head, yo.
ReplyDeleteI really like that colour on you. :)
