Embracing My Ego

05/01/09

Cardigan - Wallis (on sale!)
Pencil Skirt - H&M
Breton Striped Top - H&M
Hairbow - Topshop
Messy Room (feat. potato masher) - Years of hard work


The first outfit photo of what I hope will be many! I have finally heeded superblogger Gala Darling's advice and decided to photograph my outfits more often, to help me critique them and find something to wear quickly when inspiration does not strike. Please excuse the wrist support! Its recent dodgy-ness was not helped by skidding down the icy front drive this morning and landing on my back.

I think what's been stopping me is the whole idea that caring for your appearance is shallow. I admire bloggers and well-dressed people everywhere, so why did I feel that saying "Yes, I enjoy looking good!" would compromise my intelligence? Even at my grungiest phases, I've been reading Vogue and keeping an eye on fashion. It's okay to be interested; it's okay to be passionate. And I hope to convince myself once and for all that it's okay to wake up and want to show the world how good you look and feel today.
