Fashion Forward: Oooo FREAK-OUT!

Last week I had a fashion mishap. See below.

After a long day of work... and of enduring this concoction of an outfit.

I was trying to be crafty in putting this little number together. I thought I could do a nautical look with this relaxed navy striped shirt and navy skirt.  I'd pull together the casual look of the shirt with a gold belt tied nicely around my waist.  To complement the cool beachy-yet-professional look, I decided to do a "wavy" hair look too. 

MISTAKE all the way around. Every time I went to the bathroom that day, I thought, "What was I thinking?!" I mean, what was I doing with my LIFE with this wardrobe decision gone wrong?  I felt like such a sloppy frumper :( Whomp. And as for the hair, have you ever fallen into the same trap? You think, "Ooo you know what... I'll do the 'wavy' look today" when really you just don't feel like putting much effort into straightening or for-real-curling your hair.  Every single time without fail: I end up hating my hair that day... so why do I do make the same mistake time and time again? One will never know.

Well, I tried to be creative and this is what happened. I guess you can't look fantastic everyday (ok, well maybe some people can but that's just what the jelly-beans say).  

Have you ever had a fashion freak-out? Please share... I would love to know I'm not the only one! :)

  1. usually this happens with my makeup. i'll think it looks (insert trendy theme)-ish, but as soon as i catch a glimpse out and about, things are smudged or too heavy or just gaudy or just NOT as i'd hoped when i left for the day. like you with the wavy hair, i never seem to learn that less is more, even when i've proven it over and over again...i thought you looked adorbs...but perhapsthe beachy look just doesn't work in corporate world?? love you!

  2. Thanks for the comment sis! It never really happens to me with makeup, just hair and clothes. Agreed that beachy is not for the work place :) love you too :)
