I was complimented today! I was told I looked slim; my housemates believe it's the combination of the waist cinching belt and the vertical stripes on my lower half. I'm not sure how much of this fashion optical illusion is true, but hey, even an optical placebo is confidence boosting occasionally. The other reason they gave was that I spend so much time floating around in fabric and big things that I'm rarely seen in form fitting things. Either way, starting the day off with a compliment is the right way to begin.
I'm also branching out work-wear wise today. I've never worn a t-shirt to the school placement before, but I wanted to wear the culottes and my shirts are too over-sized to be tucked into (it would look like I'd swallowed something odd or was stashing something down my tights). I felt the cotton ones would look too casual, so I just wore my silky one, I mean it's still creased as I don't iron, but it looks more formal.
Besides, it's Friday! The weekend is practically here, t-shirt and slouch prime-time is approaching.
Slouch with style, stylish ones!
