Happy Wednesday!
The good thing about shopping with someone who knows you well is he or she can give you perspective on something you may have otherwise looked over. That is exactly what happened while shopping with my mom recently at a Gap Factory store. My mom pulled out the dress showcased in this look and at first I thought, huh? It just looked so shapeless and drab, like something a joyless person would wear to bed. She encouraged me to try it on and I'm glad I did. Though the initial size was too big, I belted it and it came to life. I sized down and the dress instantly became a new favorite even before I actually purchased it. Once again, my mom has assisted me with a find that I would have otherwise overlooked.
As a curvy woman, I tend to shy away from loose, shapeless fits, but I have learned over time that those cuts also work for my body type, but it's all about the draping. Check out some of my "shapeless" looks here and here.
I digress, back to the look...
I kept this look super simple with a thin gold and brown leather belt from J.Crew, grey knit tights and clog boots by Uggs.
My earrings are hard to see, but they're blue and gold studs from J.Crew Factory. Assorted bangles were mainly purchased in Congo years ago, and the silver bangles were a gift.
Until next time,
<3

Today's affirmation: I am at peace with all that has happened, is happening, and will happen.
