I've recently taken steps to upgrade my wardrobe. Because shockingly, pajamas are not appropriate attire for public places (though if you wore them to brunch at Rosebud this weekend, you got a free mimosa)!
While I generally consider myself a fashionista, lately, fashion has taken a back seat to business. So, now, when I look in my closet, things are all.wrong. Forget my cute shrugs--it's all about maxi sweaters now. Out with the trouser jeans, in with the skinnies, which of course means boots, boots and more boots. And don't get me started on leggings (ick!), plaid shirts (double ick!) or the combination of the two (triple ick!).
Earlier this fall, I did finally give in to the skinny jeans and oversized sweater look, but I'd been resistant to the piece that pulls said look together--the big belt.
Until tonight. I was invited to a restaurant opening, and thought I would look oh-so-chic in my wrap cardie sweater, skinny jeans, riding boots and belt. Oh yes, the epitome of chic.
And discomfort.
Did I mention that said restaurant specialized in MEXICAN food? Fatty, salty, yummy goodness completely inhibited by the aforementioned skinny jeans (made even skinnier by an overextended stay in the dryer) and corset-like belt. I seriously contemplated whether or not two weeks shy of 34 was an appropriate age for unzipping one's pants in public.
No wonder I do most of my eating at home in my yoga pants.
Laura, this made me chuckle. And you always look chic, Darling!
ReplyDeleteHA HA! I totally empathize with you on this post. Except I don't think I'm as much of a fashionista as you. :)
ReplyDeleteYou do look adorable and chic (there is photographic evidence). Sometimes fashion is worth the sacrifice.
