I'm Not Going To Pretend...

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a few days, but I don't really know what to write about since I don't want this blog to be too personal. Let's just say that I am going through something painful right now and I don't want to come on here and pretend to be okay. It seems like a lie, and nobody likes a lie.
Sooooo, this blog might be lacking in substance for a little while, but I will still be taking outfit shots. I'm just not sure how many I can get this week because it's supposed to rain until Saturday.

These are from a day or two ago. It was a little rainy out while I took them, but not too bad.


Shirt: Faded Glory
Skirt w/ belt: Forever 21
Tights: Apt. 9

Boots: BC Footwear


One thing I can be glad about is that this skirt has pockets. :) I loved it as soon as I saw it in Forever 21, but I didn't think it would work out for me. I decided 'what the heck' and tried it on anyway. I love the way it fits! The only problem is that it's a little on the short side. :\

  1. I don't know how tall you are, but I find EVERYTHING at F21 is a little on the short side!

    I too debate trying to post false cheeriness on my blog, which is why I stick strictly to clothing-talk. I wish you the best of luck with whatever the issue is, and though it may sound insincere because I don't know you, I'm truly sorry to hear that you're having a rough time.

  3. I love the stripes with the tights!! By the way, I think Forever21 skirts these past couple of years have all been a bit on the short side. They used to have great cotton ones that hit just above the knee, I wish they would bring that length back!

  11. I am completely loving the patterned tights under the striped skirt...so cute!

    I hope that you are feeling better soon...sometimes I find blogging and my blog friendships take my mind off of tough things going on in my life. :)
