{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 21

January 21st, 2011:

Top; Old Navy
High waisted skirt; American Apparel
Heels; Forever 21 clearance bucket
Necklace; Old Navy

This top is such a headache! I was immediately drawn to it when I saw it in the store because of its bright and cheery shade of yellow. I had to have it! Somehow, it passed the horrid dressing room inspection (you know what I’m talking about, ladies: the lights of doom) and made it back home with me. However, the first time I wore it, I vowed to never put it on again. I looked like I was approximately 5 months pregnant! But, I didn’t give up on it. I left it in my closet determined to tuck it into something high waisted, and the almost 2 year wait was worth it! I was able to pair it with my American Apparel skirt perfectly! Moral of the story: even if you take an item home and it isn’t exactly working, don’t give up hope! Play with different ways you can wear it (remix, as those hip fashion bloggers say), before officially sending it packin’.
