Misfit #10: The Crazy Patterned Shirt Dress

This piece is fun, but a bit crazy and hard to style.  Again, it's too short!  What is with all these things being too short, it's not like I'm tall or anything.  Oh...and did I mention, this is the LAST item in my challenge! :)

Initial Thoughts

 I felt iffy about it.  I was worried that it was too loud {read: scared my co-workers would judge me}.  I finally ran out of time and just had to get to work, so I went!

After Thoughts

As the day went on I felt more confident and my attitude changed.  Looking at the photos I do like this outfit.  It was a bit loud...or out of the box for me, but I'm glad I wore it.  Honestly, this sort of look really feels like me.  I think I need to step out of my comfort zone more often.

Final Verdict

Keeping it!!

Have a great weekend!!

xoxo, Kassie

P.S.  Sorry, no Friday Favorites today!

Style Log: Plaid & Corderoy

Everything I’m wearing ['cept the boots] is new! Happy Holiday’s to me! The awesome skinny cords I got on a return, everything else was gifted. I wore this yesterday, on the ONE day I had to work this week. Today, I’m headed north for a quick stop in the Twin Cities, then onward for one last holiday celebration with my man’s mother. I’m pretty stoked, she’s up north quite a ways, so they have snow...and thus we will be snow shoeing! Should be fun and most likely quite entertaining as I’m very clumsy. I’m hoping get some great photos out of it as well!

I’ll be “officially” back after the new year, hope you have a great one!!

#6 - Black & Brown

I remember a particular shopping excursion I had a few years back, and when I say a few years back, I mean l was a teenager [so like 10 yeras...yikes!]. I saw this black sweater that came with an attached brown belt. I thought it was cute and picked it up to try on - fully aware of the cardinal rule every young girl is taught: Don’t wear black AND brown together! I didn’t get two steps away from the rack when both shopping buddies all but tore said sweater out of my hands and put it back on the rack. This was a traumatizing experience. Still, over the years I have almost wore brown and black together, but then I am haunted by this memory and quickly change my outfit.

Not today my friends, not today. This brave woman, along with many others have restored my faith in the brown/black combo. I will wear it with pride, despite all stares of disgust and confusion.

This is all I have for this, no real photo, sorry. I know you are disappointed, but I swear I’m not coping out! I DID wear the outfit....last Friday. I even met up with family for lunch and they didn’t stare at me in disgust or confusion. In fact I received multiple compliments. So maybe this whole traumatizing event was just in my head? Or maybe it’s just that grandmothers always think their granddaughters look fantastic? :)
