This outfit was way cooler in my head. In fact, even in front of the mirror, I thought "Excellent, I look extra long today." But then the pictures tell the truth: I still have hips and my blouse and shoes don't come anywhere close to matching. By which point it's way too late to go back in and change and I've got to make the best of what I picked out and strut my stuff down the hallways anyway.
Which isn't to say that I don't like this outfit--just that it definitely isn't one of my recent favorites and the "concept to closet" translation didn't go quite as smoothly as I had hoped.
