I live in a small town. Its pretty decent though. I mean, we've got a grocery store, some thrift shops, auto repair shops, and oh yeah, a big cause for recent excitement, McDonalds!
So in small towns...you don't dress like this.
Unless you're crazy like me.
When I got these sweet, mint colored Lita look-alikes from My Hot Shoes, I could not resist wearing them to go into town.
So Kirsten and I went into a thrift shop, and I had these babies on. Man, did I attract a lot of stares...
It makes me uncomfortable but at the same time I know I need to brush it off. This is honestly what I like to wear, and I don't find these heels uncomfortable, so why not wear them?
After we made our purchase (you'll see evenutally...I found two really sweet blouses!) we saw this pole and immediately knew it would make for a fun prop. Cars kept passing by, but instead of shying away from posing, I thought "Oh what the hell. Let them stare if they want!"
Aha, so I actually overcame my fear of taking outfit photos in public. It's easy to feel intimidated by other's stares, but if you feel confident in what you're wearing it's easier to not care as much.
I finally tried tucking in my blouse into a belted pair of shorts, and I love how it turned out looking! Of course, with my mint Lita look-alikes and soft-pink chiffon top, I also managed to work the pastel trend into the outfit.
Then as we got into my car and were laughing over some of the goofy looks we'd gotten, a couple of guys walked out of the store and I happened to look up as I was laughing. Aaaaaand just so happened to catch the eye of the cutest guy in the group. He smiled back at me, and I ducked my head. When I peeked up again, he was still smiling at me!
Haha, Kirsten told me he'd kept looking even as I backed up the car to go.
Hmmmm....we'll have to go thrifting again soon ;
PS: Don't forget about the Dark Horse Jewelry still going on here!
I have another sweet giveaway coming up soon, so enter this one while it's still going on.
