Have A Making Mistakes Day

So here it is folks, I'm laying it out there. As much as I pride myself in having a good sense of style, I still make mistakes sometimes. This dress is a good example of my ability to make mistakes.

It's not like I'm blaming the dress here. The dress is just being itself, all retro-mod and stuff. Maybe I got myself confused for someone who owns a white pair of pleather go-go boots, because then I would have a pretty stellar Halloween costume. But seriously, every once in a while when I'm shopping I come across an item which I interests me that is usually pretty far from my comfort zone. When I saw this dress I was drawn to it because of the color yellow. I don't wear yellow often at all. I have one other yellow clothing item - a tank, and it is more golden than yellow. Anyway, I guess I envisioned being able to come up with cool & quirky clothing combos to go with dress, but I never have. Plus, the print overwhelming and unflattering on my body, now that I see the photos. And the cut is doesn't flatter my figure either because it's so shapeless and billowy, so a belt or sash is definitely needed. That's why I'm going to have to ditch this dress. It just isn't working for me. And while I still make mistakes, at least I have the ability to look back and realize where I went wrong. And having this blog to hold me accountable doesn't hurt either.
