Cutting Room Floor

Sweater- Forever 21, Tank- Target, Jeans- Citizens of Humanity, Boots- Old Navy, Necklace- Urban Outfitters, Bracelet- Forever 21

I was never going to post this outfit. But then I decided... this is my blog, and everyday I am not going to be 100% happy with the way an outfit turned out (or my angry facial expressions... but more on that later) but it is real and I want to stay real so I am going to put it out there. 

This outfit was actually from last Monday. I worked all morning then we began our marathon of holiday returns and purchases. Literally, we shopped for almost 5 hours. It was like un-shopping since all we really left with were empty bags and little hopeful pieces of plastic to return at a later date. Then we came home and I was feeling quite put together and I begged for photos...

This was the result. 

I noticed I didn't make the hair straightener all around my head in an even fashion. And my comfortable and cozy sweater photographed like a wrinkly sack. Lets not even talk about how my charming boyfriend caught me mid yell in that second photo and thought it was so funny that I should keep it (your welcome). I am going to focus on the positive here and say that even though our lighting sucks, it made a cool effect on my muted outfit. And well, I really like that necklace. It was in a clearance bin for 99 cents! Who ever finds something at Urban for that price!

So here it is... keepin it real in 2011!

    Ha, isn't it funny how you can see outfits one way in your head but they photograph totally differently? So funny and so frustrating at times!

    But I love that you kept it real and focused on the positive...both very admirable. :)
