Stepping Outside the Box
I am normally a pretty basic dresser. Solids, neutrals, limited palette, that’s my usual wardrobe. And then THIS happened. This floral tunic by American Rag that I’ve rented from Gwynnie Bee. I feel so HAPPY in it! I felt a little like a Matryoshka – those brightly painted Russian wooden nesting dolls. In a good way!
Sometimes you just have to take a little walk on the wild side, try something new, step outside your box. It’s so interesting to me how *difficult* that can be with something as seemingly insignificant as clothing. Yet sometimes wearing something DIFFERENT…in PUBLIC…can be The Most Terrifying Thing.
But it’s a good thing to slip a little strange into your normal routine, know what I mean? Don’t dress and live The Same Exact Way day after day after day. There are just so many days. Explore, adventure, spread your friendship wings, wear a brightly colored blouse.
LIVE.
What I’m Wearing:
- American Rag floral tunic, size 3x, via Gwynnie Bee
- Charlotte Russe jeans, size 24
- American Rag faux suede taupe booties

That top is gorgeous! You look so happy in it😁.
I’ve seen the Gwynnie B commercial, such a smart idea.

This top seems more like your personality. Colorful and fun. I get the neutrals and know we need them, but I can see you in a lot more patterns and color in the future. It’s a keeper!

Thanks, Julia. I usually have a little more color and pattern in the summer but in the winter tend to keep more subdued. Ha, I said that then looked down at myself…in a patterned dress today, ha.
