No Way, an OOTD!

Ah, clothes. Why are you so good to me? You make me feel better in every way- you hide my body dysmorphia issues and that weird dry patch on my arm, and automatically increase my self confidence every time I purchase you-while simultaneously decreasing my funds. So what better way to celebrate the awesomeness of clothes than to take a picture of it and show it to millions of strangers on the internet? Some folks would call this an: OOTD!

I should start off by saying I've never done an OOTD, and had no idea what that even stood for until like 2 months ago.

Yea, true story. And yes, I do live under a rock. So just in case there are any other fellow clueless folks out there, OOTD stands for Outfit Of The Day. Now while this may seem like a somewhat silly and pointless act, OOTD's can be pretty helpful for the girl who's looking for a little style inspiration. And plus who doesn't secretly want to rock their new rags for the world to see. Clothes are awesome and in my opinion should be celebrated for their diversity and uniqueness. That being said, here is my own go at the OOTD craze...


So there it is, my first OOTD. And I realize that it's probably not a real OOTD, because I'm not actually in the clothes in any of the pictures, but that's because I wanted to show the pieces not on me to highlight the details (plus I am the worst at selfies, and it would just look horrible. Maybe after I get used to this whole blogging thing, I'll start doing OOTD with the outfit actually on me.) 

Some of these items are new, some are not, but I've actually never worn the origami skort or heels before last night. I actually got the skort as a present this past Christmas, and I can't even tell you how long I've been wanting an origami skort. I first saw one online this past Summer, but it was well out of my price range, and I was obsessed with the thought of wearing one ever since. My family knew I wanted one, and they kindly got me this pale peach number and I love it. Unfortunately, since I received the skirt in Winter, I wasn't able to wear it, until last night when I was getting ready to go out to dinner with some friends, did I remember that this was my perfect chance to pull out some of the pieces that I've never worn before (and there are many)! I think I may do more of these because it actually got me thinking about pieces I don't wear anymore or forgot about. Who knows, maybe this will help me to not waste anymore money on new clothes, and just focus on recycling outfits in my own closet… actually, that's unlikely. Yea, that's never going to happen. 

Thanks for reading!
