I love the colors on this jacket, and I adore the
print, but it makes me feel like the Hunchback of Santa Fe:
And that, I imagine, is why I’ve never worn it, even
though it’s been in my closet for at least a year. I’ve attempted to wear it several times, but
it’s never been quite right. And today
is no exception. It’s just not quite
right. I like the colors of the jacket
(thrifted) with the color of the blouse (Nordstrom). And I like the skinny jeans (Gap) with the
platform sandals (MRKT via DSW). And I like the red-orange necklace with
the blouse and the jacket. But, I don’t
like the jacket. The fit really just isn’t
right; it gives me hunchy, bunchy shoulders and my shoulders don’t like that at
all.
So, it’s gone. I’m
actually going to give it to a co-worker who saw me in it today and liked it
(yes, even on me).
I think we can consider this progress. Sure, I still have too many black skirts, but
I no longer have an ill-fitting, multicolored jacket or a bunch of drop-waist
skirts. So, sure, yes, let’s call it
progress.*
Happy Tuesday, All!
Gracey
* I will be doing a post on my progress (or whatever)
fairly soon (hopefully), so stay tuned (please).
