This weekend I went out shopping as much as I dislike shopping, I'm in need of a new pair of jeans so I really had no choice. I came across a few but if there's something I learned from watching, "What Not to Wear" is that if you got junk in your trunk don't wear shorts/jeans or anything with small pockets as it will make your tush look bigger. So jean shopping for me was a total FAIL! The Huns jumped to the rescue and picked out some bright coral salmon peachy "LOOK at ME NOW" looking capri shorts and said Babe I think you I would look great in these. (Umm...those who know me, know that I like to be invisible, the only things I own that are bright and poppy and that stand out are shoes, bags and accessories.) I tried to argue myself out of getting them but the Huns told me to trust him, and I took them without even trying them on...besides if they didn't fit I wouldn't miss them at all, said the little devil on my right shoulder.
Now that I have the bottoms, I need a shirt that would go with them. We walked next door to Old Navy and as I looked around there was nothing I loved (the Huns once told me not to buy something unless I totally love it, best advice ever!) that would go with the capris. The Huns picked out this black and beige polka dot blouse, my eyeballs popped out as I stared at that thing and nicely said; "Ummm babe, I don't really do polka dots". Bright shorts and polka dots...are you serious?! You might as well send me to the Circus. Why can't I just find regular blue jeans and dark top that won't make me stand out in the crowd, I thought to myself. Luckily for me, the blouse didn't fit, and I suggested we go to Target and just pick up a regular top that I know will fit. Of course when I get there, they don't have my size so I took the next size down and turns out shirt fit pretty nice. Yay for fitting into a size smaller top!All along in my mind I pictured myself wearing a black top, black sandals, with gold accessories, minus the salmon looking shorts of course. At the end of the night, it turned out that once I put it all together, I totally loved the bright LOOK at ME NOW capris and am looking forward to owning a different color!
Who knew I had my very own fashion consultant.
Best of all, the complete outfit with shoes and accessories totaled to less than $100.
