Today I got told by several people that I looked like Beetlejuice because of my leggings.

One girl actually told me I look like I came right out of a Tim Burton movie.

I am totally taking it as a compliment.

One of the girls at work decided we should wear certain styles every day of the week. For example; yesterday was maxi skirts and dresses; Tuesday was 'grunge'. Today was stripes!

Funny enough, we showed up to work this morning wearing almost the same outfit.

Twin Beetlejuices!

 

Thoughts on fashion blogging...

Sometimes I get online and started browsing around looking at fashion blogs and I start to feel embarrassed about my own blog for a few reasons

• I don't have a very nice camera, it's just a little Canon digital camera I got 4 years ago. Also I'm not good at photo editing, I just use Picasa and change a few things.
• Nobody takes my pictures. Sometimes my husband will, but that's if we're even home at the same time when I'm all dressed up. Mostly I rely on self timer and finding a way to prop my camera up on something.
• I don't have super fancy clothes. I work in retail so most of my clothes are the same brand and it's because I get a discount. If I shop outside of my own store it's usually just a similar type. I can't afford ModCloth or Ruche or Shabby Apple, and I don't have sponsors that will send me them for free.
• My blog is kind of lame, I'm terrible with HTML and I can't figure out how to put cute links on here or how to even spruce it up...I just go with what I know...which ranges from the 'design' tab to the 'layout' tab.

After feeling a little mopey about my sub-par blog, I snapped out of it and realized "who freaking cares?" 

• I may not have the best camera or photoshop skills, but I can take a picture of my outfit...which is the point. And you can see the outfit.
• I don't have fancy clothes but they clothes I do have are cute and stylish and I love them.

And above all:

• I like my style, and I like sharing it with other people. I shouldn't feel inadequate because my blog isn't as pretty, extravagant or popular as others.

I'm going to post what I want to post, and if people want to read it then I think that's great. If other people don't like it...then I really don't give a shit.

Torso

If they invented some type of plastic surgery to elongate your spine and stretch your torso, I would probably do it.
Actually I probably wouldn't do any type of plastic surgery if I'm being honest...
But while I'm on the subject of torsos I'll talk about mine. It's short! Don't get me wrong, I am ok with my body, it could be worse...and I'm lucky to even have all my limbs, no matter how short they are. The problem with having such a short torso is that everything is SO long on me. I layered 2 camis under this button up today and the first half of my shift it was over my shorts, but bunched up at my stomach because if I pulled it down tight you wouldn't even see my shorts. Then I thought I would try tucking them into my shorts, but that caused them to bunch up around my butt and look worse!
Mainly I just get a little disheartened when an outfit doesn't look like the mannequin or model when I try it on because they are long everywhere. Lets, arms, torso....etc. I don't complain about it too much because, like I said, it could be so much worse. The only thing that sucks is trying on a crop-top during this season and having it not actually crop on you.
I am proud of my petite-ness, and I like standing at only 5'2". It's just one of those things!

What are some things that you struggle with styling on your body?
