I’ll be the first to admit I’m not great at putting an outfit together. I’ve perfected the science of putting simple, cute, and fashionably safe outfits together. (What ?!? Stop laughing?!... I try really hard!)
When I say “fashionably safe” I’m referring to the fact that I’m nowhere near the leading edge of fashionability. (Yes, … fashionability. Look it up… and if you can’t find it then just remember that I was the first one to use the term!) My number one goal (when it comes to fashion) is simply not to fall into the pit of fashion despair. 20 years from now (or tomorrow, in actuality) I don’t want my picture circulated by email with the caption “Fashion gone wrong!” or "Can you believe someone wore this in the 21st centure?!"
Recently I’ve seen a couple of girls wearing simple, yet fashionable, outfits that I figured I could imitate. I already had all the correct items to complete the look, I’d just never thought to put them together that way. So today I ventured out of my comfort zone and tried to pull off the fashionable look.
When I looked at the completed outfit in the mirror this morning I thought, “Not bad.” I thought I'd kind of pulled it together but it wasn’t quite as cute as I wanted it to be.
...
When I looked at the completed outfit in the mirror this morning I must’ve been asleep.

I just returned from the ladies restroom here at work. They have a full length mirror and I decided to take a quick gander to see how my “look” was holding up.
…
And now I’m writing a post titled, “A Bad Wardrobe Day”
…
And no, there will be no pictures included with this post.
In my defense I think the outfit would actually look ok with levis. The top is a little under dressy and my slacks and shoes are a little over dressy.
Also in my defense, I’m still the best dressed person in the office. (Sad, but true!) It is nice to have a place to test out my experimental outfits before showing them to what I consider the “real world.”
(At least I HOPE my workplace isn’t a true-to-life indication of the “real world.”)

WHAT?? No pictures? That's a mean trick. How are we suppose to judge you if we can't see the outfit? Oh, ok, I see. You are one of those don't want to be judged people. That is so funny Brooke. I hate when I go out on a limb and end up feeling ugly all day. Sometimes, being fashionable safe is really just wearing stuff you feel comfortable in. But I say good job on the adventurous dressing. It sounds like no one at your job would know though - so you are probably just considered even that is good.
wo, that last sentence totally didn't make sense. delete, delete, delete. woopsie.
