ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Check Mate
Sometimes it’s hard to get dressed when you feel awful. But my rule of thumb usually is if you feel like crap, go that extra mile to look good When I woke up this morning, I did not want to get out of my pajamas (I’ll admit that smile you see above is fake).

Since I didn’t want anyone to notice how horrible I felt, I tried to up my spirits with one of my fave skirts. My mom bought it for a special occasion 13 years ago and only wore it once. It came with a matching jacket with big gaudy buttons I wish I hadn’t let her thrown away. I usually wear it with a ribbed tank, but today decided to be extra feminine by mixing the check print with the subtle dots of my sheer blouse.

Instead of, “Are you feeling okay?” I got, “Cute outfit!” Mission accomplished.

Tulle top, Ann Taylor belt, vintage skirt, Versace sunglasses, Calvin Klein pumps, lia sophia bracelets
