Imma do me...

The below looks show me trying to step outside of my comfort zone, and having a complete #fail. This is not a post where I'm fishing for compliments or anything close. My apologies for the picture heavy post. I just wanted to document for myself, what I look like when I start to try too hard and end up not being me.

The color palette on this outfit I LOVE, but the combination of pieces together just didn't flow right. I had it in my head, but bringing it to life just didn't prove to be as cute as I imagined. The sweater was bulky, and the gauchos just weren't right. The only thing I like is the shoes with the tights, and not combined with the top pieces. They were just too dressy for the casual look.









Sweater - Herbergers
Button down shirt - Herbergers
Gauchos - Lane Bryant
Tights - Target
Shoes - Payless


This next fit, I could have been "fixed" by something as simple as switching out the grey tights for black ones. Again, trying too hard to incorporate the colored tights into my wardrobe. It didn't flow as effortlessly as I would have liked it to. And the blue/white stripe headband... uh, no. lol! 






Corduroy Dress - Old Navy (years ago)
Tights - Target
Booties - Herbergers


For me, blogging is a journey. I'm learning from my style choices. There will be mistakes along the way. This is not to say that I'm not going to try things that are new to me (still working on faux leather pants and pattern mixing). I'm going to keep on keepin on... and documenting along the way. Until next time...
