Day Three: Falling onto Old Ways

Today was a bit of a blah day, and I'm not going to lie, I went with a standby. This skirt is one of the best investments I have ever made. I probably wear it once a week, it's basic but still interesting, and I get compliments nearly every time I wear it. Most importantly, I feel comfortable in it - not "sensible shoes" comfortable, but it's true I don't worry about it getting twisted or sliding down or getting otherwise wonky. When I say "comfortable," I mean that I feel like it looks good on me and I don't worry that I look silly. I want to say that I don't care what people think about how I look, and screw them if they don't like my style, but that's just not me. I care. And if I don't feel like something looks right, I will be (even more) self-conscious until I can change into my pajamas. And when I hit a certain level of self consciousness, I get very cranky. So we don't want that to happen.

But this, I feel like it always looks right.

One of the reasons I chose this skirt as part of my 30 for 30 Challenge is because, while it's something that I wear regularly, I always wear it with the same old thing (a black H&M top). I didn't include that top in this challenge, and I'm gonna force myself to try it with something new. That's one of the reasons I'm doing this challenge: with all the clothes in my closet, I still wear the same things all the time. Don't tell my dad, but he's right: there are clothes in my closet that still have tags on them. So I'm challenging myself to try new things. 

So while this is a standby for me, I am trying something new with the cardi. Baby steps, you guys.

I realize I have worn these shoes every day this week. I promise, different shoes tomorrow. Just for you guys. Don't say I don't do anything for you.
