a tale of two looks

Back in July, I was photographed with a bunch of other ladies to potentially be in Marie Claire magazine's October street style feature. I was told to wear something that felt fall, and debated between these two outfits, ultimately going with the more colorful version below. 

I wasn't chosen to be in the feature, and as a result felt dumb, ugly & sad, taking me back to those jr high days, even questioning if I should start this blog. Thankfully, my spiraling only lasted an afternoon, and I still say I love both looks. At the end of the day, the opinion that matters most is your own. So own it!
