Tuesday - Show 'em what your workin' with

Stepping into new and embarrassing territory here, this marks my very first "What I Wore" post. That's right - this is me - in all my sometimes-awkward glory. I don't know why this unnerves me so much, posting pictures of me...wearing what I wear. I'm clearly not so disturbed by what I wear that I can't go outside of the house. I mean people See me...Wearing things. Somehow I guess it's just more intimidating on the big ole 'net where so many bloggers are great photographers or seem to have budgets of Rockefellers.

I am happy being me and working with what I got, though. So there we are.

And here I am.


sweater - Gap (10 years ago or so now)
dress - TJMaxx (5 years ago)
tights - Target
socks - Target
boots - Beartraps from DSW

These boots are one of the few things I paid retail price for. I live in Chicago. Good snow boots are a must. Not that you can't find good snow boots on clearance or sale or whatever, but sometimes you need boots in a hurry and that was the case with these.

I'm not disappointed with this outfit so much as bored by it. I think the proportions are fine and it's certainly comfortable, but it's just "meh". A colorful belt might have helped or a different sweater, perhaps.

Close-up of the makeup. I don't do foundation, just a little concealer, blush, eyeshadow, and mascara. I usually don't wear lipstick as I can never remember or be bothered to reapply, but I do wear lip balm and sometimes lip tint. Hm. I need a haircut.
