Fashion Advice

July 31, 2013 by Sarah

So here’s the thing, I’m going to confess something to you and I don’t want for you to laugh out loud at me {as if I could hear you anyway}.

I feel like I don’t know how to dress.  I see so many people wearing cute outfits with bold color combinations or really large accessories and think to myself, I would never have thought to put that together, but it looks AWESOME!  Why can’t I come up with stuff like that?

I mean, I’m not saying I have no clue how to dress, but sometimes I feel like I still dress like I did in high school.  And accessories, fuh-getta-bout-it!

It’s about that time for me to figure out this whole fashion thing and push myself to think outside the box a little more.  Just because I feel like I’ve been wearing maternity clothes for the majority of the past 4 years, there is no excuse!  Maybe part of this realization also comes from reading too much from Sheaffer over at PinterestToldMeTo {she’s a hilarious blogger, by the way} and realized that most people dress way cooler than me – ha!

One of the things I have realized though is that half my problem is lack of confidence.  When I put something on that I’m unsure about, I just need to own it!  Can I get an AMEN?!!

So, as weird as I think this is and as self-conscious as I am to do this, I need your opinion on what I wore yesterday.  As I try to push myself to think outside of my normal box, I need your help and feedback!

Here’s my outfit for the day {and please excuse my horrible attempt at taking a selfie when I don’t have a Smart phone or a full length mirror}.  Nothing fancy since it was just a normal day at home, but I thought I’d try this top with my new bright neon shorts I got the other day at Old Navy {off the clearance rack I might add}!    

 Yes?  No?  Terrible combination?  Has potential?  Give it to me good, people!

 I don’t know if you can see them, but I’m wearing a pair of gold hoop earrings.  My thought was that the colors were bold so I went with a more classic pair of earrings.  Didn’t want them to compete, ya know?  Yes?  No?

My next question would be what else could go with this?  Would a necklace have been too much?  If not, long or short necklace?

I genuinely want to know what you guys think, so please let me know in a comment!  Seriously…it won’t hurt my feelings.  This is a learning process!

It might also have looked better if I did my hair, but that’s a whole other topic!  Why does being a girl have to be so hard? 

Happy Wednesday!
