In non-clothing news, I have a new niece! My little sister is a mom! Huzzah! So weird and exciting and I just can’t wait to see sweet little Olivia and kiss her tiny face.

On the clothing front, today was yet another difficult prompt for the 10 day challenge. THANKS A LOT KAYLA. Way to make me think outside my boring clothing box. You are so mean.
I don’t own anything furry or sequined. I’m not really a fan of wide-legged pants but I don’t have any skinny jeans either. Animal prints kind of freak me out, and the one thing in my closet with dots on it is too small and may be getting repurposed or donated soon. I am apparently the least trendy person of 2012.*
So I threw half my wardrobe onto the bed to see what I could come up with. An hour of playing dress-up yielded some pretty basic results:
A top knot/ballerina bun, brightly colored skinny belt, half-tucked-in blousey shirt, red lips, and earrings that could sort of be considered neon or Navajo-ish (because apparently that’s cool now?) but aren’t really either, which is fine by me.
Maybe not super on-trend but it’ll do. And I feel surprisingly cute for being so much out of my comfort zone, which I feel is the bigger victory.

You are rockin' those red lips! That shade is perfect for you!
I think you look adorable, and definitely trendy – I agree, the red lips are killer!

Thanks ladies!
The red lips are awesome!
I have come to the conclusion that you would look fantastic in a paper bag, so, trendy or not, you are gorgeous.
And I'm glad I'm pushing you! The challenge is serving its purpose!
Also, the shape of that top is kind of trendy, so you're rocking multiple trends here!
