This past weekend, I went to a shower to celebrate my best friend becoming a bride. Because it was a girly party, I wanted a cute, classy and comfortable outfit.

I recently purchased this green skirt from veryjane.com and couldn’t wait to wear it. Since this was the perfect opportunity, I looked on my Pinterest style board for inspiration. I found this picture and decided to pair it with a chambray shirt and belt.

I have been wanting to wear a scarf around my head, as inspired by my friend Hannah’s instagram (I’m desperately trying to get her to do a guest post). I picked a blue green scarf I own and tried to wrap it around my head, but it was ultimately too long and looked weird, so I switched to my white scarf with green polka dots. I attempted to tie it in a knot like this, but had a hard time.

I couldn’t get a nice knot, so I just decided to keep it as a bow and wear it on the side of my head. Then, I settled on simple pearl earrings, since the scarf was so busy already and paired it with a simple white ring.

For the shoes, I chose a gray suede pump to give me height, since the skirt hits me below my knees, causing me to look shorter. I considered wearing sandals, but the pump matched the dressy vibe I was going for.

Finally I topped it off with some bright red lips because it makes any outfit girly in an instant.

And THIS is the final product.

I am the klutziest klutz on the planet. My toes have met every coffee table and chair in their paths. I also constantly turn corners too quickly and bump into walls subsequently yelling, “Who put that wall there?” Almost every day I look down and discover some new bruise and have no idea how or when I got it. All this to say, I injure myself on a daily basis and I’m only thirty-one. I am scared for myself and my well-being when my bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons aren’t in their peak, youthful capacity. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna need a hip replacement by the age of 45 just because I fell getting out of my car or did something else dumb like that. Ugh.

I was at a kid’s birthday party last week and they were playing “Pin The Tail On The Donkey”. If you’ve never heard of this game, the player dons a mask covering his eyes so he can’t see, is spun around a couple times (enough to disorient him), then sent off in the direction of the poster with the picture of a donkey on it and attempts to pin the tail as close to the appropriate spot (err…the donkey’s behind). It got me thinking, what if God designed human beings like that?! Like someone would end up with their eyes where their bellybutton is and an arm coming out of their skull? We’d all look like a bunch of Picasso paintings come to life. I guess it would suck if you were formed the day God got spun around one too many times. Ha!
