Fashion is...self-sacrifice.

Dress, Luxe

Shorts, Soffe

Gladiators, Bamboo

Bag, Lucky Brand

Under normal circumstances, I am content to wear my dresses solo, perhaps with a slip when necessary. However, with this particular dress, I feel it precautionary to wear shorts underneath. These shorts, made by Soffe, are also white, and can be rolled up as they are made of cloth. I roll them enough so you can't see them under the dress, but I don't feel so worried that with every step I take, my undergarments will be exposed. Fashion Tip #1 - Don't pull a Britney. Even exposing a bit of your shorts is a better "wardrobe malfunction" than exposing undergarments!

Now, I've worn at uncomfortable shoe or two before. But these babies take the cake. They have small metal grommets throughout the shoe that, unfortunately, dig into the skin, leave rust-colored bruises. The straps aren't adjustable, so you have to squeeze your gams in, which leaves you with unsightly strap-marks once you remove the shoe. However, the shoes aren't horrible to walk in, though I don't recommend them for a day at the amusement park! But, a short shopping trip should be fine. :) As my friend says, "Who cares if it's comfortable? I look cute!" Also, this is one of the "riskiest" outfits I would wear...I prefer my style to be classic, but I loved this outfit. Fashion Tip #2 - Don't be afraid to take risks, even if it's outside of your norm! I got so many compliments today!

While shopping today, I picked up the softest scarf from Claire's. It was on sale, so I had to have it. It's a dark pink and plaid - very cute! I tried to get away with a $0.97 bandana from WalMart, buuut it didn't go as planned, so I set my sights on buying a real scarf! I also found the most amazing bag...and I wish I had bought it. However, I'm trying to save my money, and just can't afford a new bag right now. Ohh, it was the softest, buttery-leather brown bag, from Nine West. *sigh* I'll just have to make-do with what I have.
