Exciting day! The lovely and kind Marilou over at Twenty York Street has an interview up featuring yours truly -- in fact, I think it's my first full interview ever, so yay! Learn more about why I dressed up as Scarlett O'Hara in elementary school, and what I consider my favorite pair of shoes. And while you're there, sit back and enjoy Twenty York Street, too. Marilou's got the killer combination of mad style and a witty writing voice. Through the incredible world of blogging, we've become friends and we have a few ideas up our sleeves that we can't wait to show you soon...
So, I kinda just threw this outfit on to run some errands yesterday, and it's exactly how I'd imagine I'd look like if a Crayola box exploded on me. Lots and lots of brights going on here. The striped sweater is actually more neon-colored in real life, but combined with the dress, it turns into a neutral piece.
This is one of those outfits where it seems wild in theory and I wondered what a middle-aged version of myself would think --- would I smile at the fact that I was daring, or cringe in the way that you grimace at old yearbook photos? I hope I'm more adventurous when I'm older and that this outfit will just be one of those stepping stones, where I look back and say: "This was the day I started to really dress for myself."
