Why Did I Wear That?

Ever notice how sometimes you don't realize how ridiculous you look wearing something until you later see a picture/video of yourself? You strut your stuff thinking you look all trendy but later when you see the picture you look like a 30 year old trying to be a teenager. Or a disheveled soccer mom. Or a lazy homemaker. This has happened to me on many occasions. One time I spied a picture of me wearing purple framed sunglasses. I thought they were the coolest thing, but a picture later revealed they were too small for my face. Or the maternity blazer I bought from Target. Hey it was on clearance and I didn't realize it was maternity. I thought I could pull it off and that it looked "sorta cute." WRONG. If it does not make you feel like a million bucks and make you look your best, time to part ways. Sometimes all it simply takes is a trip to the mall and a vision of myself in the mirror. I will be joyfully shopping and then catch a glimpse of myself and think, "what was I THINKING wearing this dowdy thing out in public?" As soon as I get home I donate or trash the item. I have often said if you are not sure if you like an item, wear it one day out in public. You will have your answer by the end of the day. Life is too short to NOT look your best everyday.
