I'm feeling ridiculously blah today and am tired of just about everything. I'm sick of fair-weather "friends," "friends" who only call you when they need something, green with envy "friends," liars, and people who resort to using gimmicks to get you to like them better. Moreover, I'm tired of people who can't see these "friends" for what they really are and get used, abused, and stepped on. I'm a self proclaimed bitch: I call 'em like I see 'em, so there's no way in hell I'm going to go along with that kind of behavior. Unfortunately, some people willingly do so, apparently oblivious to that concept we call one's "true colors."
Clearly, I've been making the wardrobe transition from summer to fall, even though it's gotta be at least 80°F and I was sweating profusely while taking these pictures in my cardigan. I love animal print, which I think is classic, pretty, and tough all in one. I tried to go for ladylike with an edge today. The heavier shoes and print (hopefully) play down the sweetness of the ruffles and lace.

1. Loving the leopard. I've been really into leopard print lately!
ReplyDelete2. Self proclaimed bitch? Awesome.
3. It's really hot over here, too. I can't wait for the weather to cool down enough to wear cardigans.
Agh, those "friends" are just terrible. I used to have only "friends" and a "best friend". The last time we saw each other, we didn't acknowledge the other's presence. So sad, considering we were like nails and dirt (sorry if it sounds disgusting, it's a saying here in México meaning that you're always together).
ReplyDeleteBut, as far as your outift, I am in LOVE with your skirt. So, so, so cute!! I wish we had a Forever 21 here, instead of travelling 3 hours to the closest one. Blah.

As we get older, our ability to discern people's character and true intent improves and you can use that skill to toss the bad apples. Getting to that point can, however, be dispiriting when you have to deal with "frenemies."
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is, like your last one, insanely attractive. Few of us can pull off boldness like you. You're an inspiration!
You look gorgeous :) Kinda badass with those glasses on too!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! I don't think it's *too* sweet - you're right, the shoes and leopard really help to offset the girly details. Although I like that the colors you chose - more blacks and blush/nude - aren't overly feminine (ie, pink). And those shoes are fabulous! Also loving the cardigan, J. Crew has the best ones - just ordered a few on sale from there...so cute.

its great to see a postivve comment from a girl who's also stylish and pretty like you !
ReplyDeleteyour research about the body weight thing was really helpful for me ! i never even realized that because there's just sooooo many skinny girls out there (and im not sure whether they dont eat or they're just naturally skinny)
and yes we run FASHION blogs.. not SKINNY PEOPLE blog..
I hate ''friends'' like that! But on a positive note, love the outfit, especially that skirt and those shoes. :)SarahD

ReplyDeleteyour skirt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about that type of people... the good thing is that it's a matter of time that others realise how they really are.
