Do you ever have outfit ideas that you just can't seem to get rid of? I do, and Saturday was one of those days. Since the Modcloth skirts I ordered two weeks ago had finally arrived I just had to break them out. However, I also had a strange pull toward another article of clothing in my closet: cowboy boots. For some reason these two pieces came together in my head so clearly that I knew I would not be happy until I made the look work. But, after trying on 5 different tops and taking exactly 25 photos on the front porch, I began to question my outfit and called my BFF to ask him what he thought....
Well, let's just say that he didn't exactly give me the stamp of approval I was searching for (in my defense, he did grow up in Texas!)...
Then in a strange twist, he said "but I know you, and you'll rock the look." Huh?! You just told me you wouldn't laugh at me too hard if I wore it to lunch (yes, we're that good of friends) and now you're telling me I'll rock it? He then went on to explain that he knew I'd look great because of my confidence. Fair enough. I've always believed that confidence is what makes a look, and I still do (see #5). So, I threw on that 6th top (the one I'm wearing here) and my cowboy boots and strutted my stuff all the way to Starbucks, to lunch and then home to study. And, did not question my sartorial decision again!

i like it! And your BFF is right. If you wear it with confidence, people won't question it.
Yep, its all about confidence! You gotta work it even if you're wearin a ratty old t-shirt and ancient jeans. Saturday night I wore my new leggings and tunic, and even though I knew my husband HATED the look, I strutted my stuff all night long! (:
It looks cute!
Hi Gracie!
I agree, you rocked it! Here at ModCloth, that's what were about! Finding something you love and making it work for you. And if I can say so, you nailed it! I love the girly look with a bit of western toughness :)
You've got this,
Elisa at ModCloth
