On The Fringes
Is it bad that I stayed up till 2 in the morning ironing this "kimono" by Ark & Co.?
If you want to convince the world via apparel that you are a sophisticated individual who absolutely did NOT split a container of funfetti icing with her friend last weekend before brainstorming your next blog post, you have to take special care of your clothing. Wrinkles can make an otherwise perfect ensemble go from fabulous to frumpy at a single glance, and the whole point of fashion is to make an impression within that single glance. To let a garment fall into a shabby state is to disrespect the work a designer dedicated to it. So, I mean, if you hate the designer, go for it. But for the love of God, LEAVE PRE-2013 MOULINETTE SOEURS ALONE.
Black heels
Confession: I gave up the heels at 2 p.m. and switched to flats. Tonight, I do penance to the gods of fashion. Please forgive me my sins, Chanel. There is so much standing required in choir rehearsal.

Black jersey bodysuit from GAP
All I'm going to say is that this thing looks and feels great but is very hard to use the bathroom in.
Black Chiffon Scarf
I originally bought this thing for my junior year prom because I figured "Hey I hate my legs how about I get a shawl type thing to cover my thighs?" It's nice taking a piece that was purchased in insecurity and repurposing it to actually create confidence. I don't think I'd like this outfit so much if not for the scarf.
