What I Wore 16: All Dressed Up & Nowhere to Go


When I'm at work by 6:30 AM to steam milk and brew coffee all morning, I'm usually not in my prettiest clothes. I also don't really wear makeup. Maybe some eyeliner and a little mascara, unless I'm wearing a hat. In Early Morning Megan Land, if you wear a hat then you don't have to wear makeup. Confusing, I know; but I don't make the rules.

Yesterday a regular came in to the coffee shop and looked at me confusedly before telling me that he thought I looked very pretty, and that blue was a good color for me. That was really nice, so I smiled and said thanks, but as I turned to get back to work I thought, It's definitely not my shirt, dude. It's just that I brushed my hair this morning.

I kind of miss having an every-day reason to dress up. Or brush my hair.


Top: GAP
Necklace: J.Crew
Skirt: J.Crew
Tights: Target
Shoes: J.Crew

I never know what to do with this skirt because it's kind of an off-white color, so if I wear a white top, it looks strange, but other colors don't look that great with it, either. I always just end up wearing black. I have a lot of black shirts. As I just demonstrated, they can really come in handy.


I wanted to add some color, though, so I put on these pink tights. Please tell me they're pink. I had a dress of the same color when I was in high school and everyone kept telling me it was red. But it's not red. It's pink. It's raspberry. Even though the raspberries we eat aren't actually pink, the color raspberry is definitely a pink. Right?

Super cute! I get the same feeling of not having the opportunity to dress up and no where to go. Yet, I keep filling my wardrobe with adorable pretty clothes.

Ok... I'm going to have to go with red, but the point is: when are you coming to Roanoke so we can get sushi and make fun of Twilight!??

They're definitely pink. And you definitely just gave me outfit inspiration for a pair of my own "raspberry" tights! Thanks dear!

And I so know what you mean about no makeup in the early mornings. I would just much rather sleep than make myself look decent...

xoxo,

Those raspberry (yes, I'll go with raspberry!) tights are adorable! I love them. I don't think they're red, but I don't think they're pink.

Happy Thursday!

They're kinda red-ish but it could just be that the photos make them look more red than pink. I'll take your word for it. ;) Either way, though, the outfit is totally adorable. You kinda remind me of Zooey Deschanel!
