So I want you to stop and look at what you have on right now. On a scale of 1-10 how do you feel about that outfit? Are you just barely happy with it? Is it just to get you by? Would you go out to dinner with your friends in it? Where could your outfit you have on today take you? I was posed with these same qestions Monday. I new on Monday that I was going to be going out with some friends after work for happy hour. There was a chance that I could not go home first to change. So I new that whatever I wear would have to be work appropriate and then still cool to go out at night. I ended up wearing a cute dress, and I called it my transitional outfit. I mean I always see magazines where they show you a simple way to take your outfit from day to night. And normally the transition is made real easy. My transition basically just included me changing my big bag to carrying a cool clutch. However, I loved my looked and it workd really well and I felt so night appropriate. I know eveyday we may not have somewhere to go but I can’t help but feel that whatever outfit we wear we sould feel like it could really take us anywhere. Like yesterday I couldnt’t decide on what to wear I put on these pants I’ve had for I don’t know how long with a shirt and some boots thinking its suppose to rain so I wanted to be warm. Now I really had no ime to spare because I already missed my first two buses. However, stepping out the door, about to lock my gate, I realized I hated what I was wearing. I thought Cormelle just go you don’t have time to change I thought just suck it up and go. I couldn’t do it! I went back in the house and at that moment I new I was choosing loving my outfit over being on time for work. And you know what I didn’t care-lol! I just wanted to be happy with what I had on. Those pant are so history by the way! I mean who knows someone could of called me and said lets go here. I may not have had a chance to go home and change. So, in the morning or at night when getting dressed I want you to think about where your outfit could take you! I think that will bring us one step closer to always loving what we wear, and what we put in our closets. As well as not settling for those just okay outfits.
This is so true. My outfit today is just trying to make it. I am meeting a friend tonight so when I put my jeans on it will look alot better although i got 2 compliments on it. So what does that mean, not sure, but I didn’t want to go down to soho in it. or, was it that i was just being lazy and wanted more time to my lunch break not sure. however, i have had those days where i stay home and just keep trying. however, i feel that we know when we are really representing and when we aren’t. I even brought my scarf today because sometimes ithink my mirror at home is telling me i look better than when i do or maybe its our crazy bathroom lights. ha!
huuuuh. this is all so embarassingly true. it just happened to melast night. i had a vision of a cute outfit only to arrive to my destination an hour later, to realize i looked all sloppy and my shirt was dingy white ((needless to say that shirt is history now)). thankfully i had a black sweater sweater r that i zipped up to hide the shirt. i came home today ooking at the blob of clothes that form my choices and just got depressed. Part of me wants to throw everything, yes everything away and just leave a few cute pieces. HElp!! Will i ever ride above my fashion rut???
