Decision Making Process:
I wanted to be comfortable. I think it’s been a reoccurring theme these days… And I have to tell you, the yoga pants is SUPER comfortable!
I initially thought about a leggings to go with the dress, but the yoga pants are slightly more loose and therefore is more comfortable. I started out picking another summer dress, that was yellow. However when I wore it with black top, it didn’t look good. It was too much contrast, and the dress’s material was thin, and it created sort of a darker tone that I did not particularly like. So I picked this dress knowing that the dress was lined with black, and it would work very well with rest of the black color I have chosen. The dress itself is navy base with pink, red, purple and green flower-like patterns on it.
This dress was a present from my mother during the summer. She shipped it to me along with the other dress I was going to wear. My mother told me how great the dress looked and how beautiful it was on the rack when she saw it, and how she had to get it for me. I really appreciated that she had thought about me, and really looked forward to the mail.
Then the package arrived. I opened it and didn’t know what to think for a second.
I really didn’t think this dress would have looked good on me. I really didn’t.
I loved the other dress that was in the same package. It was yellow and had some lace on the chest area for decoration.
So I put this dress in my closet for a little while, and the summer was passing by me. At the end of my internship day, I thought, well, Let me give it a shot and see if I’d look good in it. My mother had told me that she pictured me wearing this dress at my last day on my internship, and I wanted to do that for her.
I put on the dress, and matched few different shoes I had with, and tied the ribbon in the middle to adjust the waist. All the sudden, the dress didn’t look so terrible.
I had a waste! Because I didn’t adjust the waste line before, the whole dress looked really large on me and didn’t have any shape. Once I created this “perfect” waistline by simply adjust the ribbon, I was able to fit the dress on my body like no other.
I wore the dress for a day, and got some compliments from others, and it started to really growing on me. Few months later, I’m wearing it again. And it’s not even that warm out side any more.
The dress kept growing and growing and now it became one of my favorite pieces.
If you have an item that you are not so sure about, don’t give it up just because. Give it a shot, adjust things a little and see how it looks on you. You may be pleasantly surprised like I did.
