Accidental Patriot

Photobucket
Hey there, I hope everyone had a great weekend (or long weekend) I definitely did. I'm pretty tired after everything we did this weekend, but I'm going to take it easy today, sit on the deck, read some magazines, then eat some spicy food with my friend!
So this is what I wore the day we drove out to St. Paul for the family reunion. Everyone knows I love this skirt, but I decided I wanted to print mix it with this striped ruffled top. And when we were driving there Bryce and my young Brother informed me that I looked like the american flag, which didn't even cross my mind while getting dressed. So that was the running joke between the boys that day.
While I liked this outfit when I was wearing it, looking at the pictures I don't feel this is as flattering as I thought it was at the time. Going through the pictures it was hard to find a couple that I actually liked. Post surgery, my body always changes a bit, even if it's just bad posture because of pain and how I carry myself, but I find things don't look the same as they did before. Annnyways I love the ruffled detail on this top, but the top itself doesn't fit very well so underneath a skirt it's better. And as much as they may think I look like a flag, I love the print mixing of stripes and polka dots.

  2. I think your outfit rocks, even if you are accidentally patriotic. (: But I'm biased because I have yet to see you in anything that I didn't find downright adorable.

  12. Well I don't know what you're seeing because I think this looks amazing on you, but either way the details in it are exquisite. Love the retro feel of the whole look.

  14. I think you look amazing in all these photos... and I'm sure the other pictures were't half bad. Most people are their own harshest critics. I can totally relate to feeling good in an outfit, then seeing yourself on camera and thinking otherwise. But you look adorable and the top and skirt are a perfect match!
