Feeling My Way

You will probably not be surprised to learn that I have no idea what I�m doing when it comes to dressing myself.  I mean, I�ve figured out buttons and zippers pretty well, but figuring out what combination of items to button or zipper onto my body is a struggle.  For example, I�m just wearing a dress today, but went through three or four iterations of accessories before landing on this:

The dress (Target) actually used to have a greige skirt (you can see it here), but I dyed it because I don�t like greige.  The accessories I finally settled on are a tri-color belt (thrifted), red-orange beaded necklace (street fair) and leopard peep-toe mini wedges.  But, seriously, it was a struggle even though the dress just pulls on!

I don�t know why selecting clothes is so much work for me.  I don�t know if it�s because my closet is too big (possibly), or maybe it�s too small (less probable).  Or, maybe it�s because I don�t have a clearly defined style.  I think if I just decided that �boho chic� was my thing and didn�t purchase or wear anything that didn�t meet that aesthetic that getting dressed might be easier.  Instead I have Personal Style ADD, dressing one day in all neutrals and the next in three different patterns and four different colors.  For example, here are last week�s looks (note the lack of a cohesive theme):

Now, I don�t think any of you who read my blog are under the delusion that you�re reading the blog of a fabulously put together blogger.  But, if you are, I apologize for bursting your bubble.  In truth, I�m just feeling my way along, tossing a bunch of stuff on the bed and seeing what sticks.  For those of you who suspected that was my preferred methodology, you were right, and I appreciate you sticking around in spite of that.

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!
