Switzerland
Cardigan: F21 // Top: Talbot’s // Pencil Skirt: Francesca’s // Flats: Francesca’s
Yesterday turned out better than I expected! My day started with a sweet email from Booyah, in which she asked if I use magic to make my hair pretty. I assured her that no magic is involved, just a diffuser and a curling iron. She then proceeded to tell me that she whips her hair back and forth…and that’s where my attention span ended.
After that email exchange, I arrived at work, where I was told that my internship proposal was approved and I can start recruiting! Anybody in college and want to teach summer science camps at the Exploreum? I will be your boss. But don’t worry, I’ll be an awesome boss. Part of your job description will be taking pictures of me everyday. You’re welcome.
I wore this outfit knowing that I would be leading a grasshopper dissection, but I refused to wear that damn button-up and pants outfit again. I didn’t like it. So what if I dressed too nice to play with dead animals?!? Also, I’ve realized I dress like Switzerland…completely neutral. I need to liven up my wardrobe a bit. Any suggestions?

Hehehee. And I never even wrote you back to confirm that I do indeed whip my hair back and forth. It’s because I was too busy. . . whipping my hair back and forth, obvi.
So there are a couple great ways you could make your already cute outfits pop a bit:
-Add color in unexpected places. Like in the current outfit, a brightly colored shoe would be great. (Red, yellow, blue would all work. Yellow especially.)
-You could also add color with jewelry, with a bold necklace or bracelet.
Essentially buy a few bold color pieces and mix them in with what you already have.
Other ways to add pop to your wardrobe:
-Make The Hubs dress up like Gumby or a Storm Trooper and take him everywhere on your arm. You’re sure to liven up that neutral outfit then!
-Live animals. Paris Hilton always carries something alive with her. And she’s all famous and stuff. Definitely not neutral.
-Declare war. Because that would make you decidedly UNswitzerland. Those guys NEVER declare war.
Those are just a few suggestions. Let me know if you need anymore help.
OMG. I forgot the most important idea of all!
For added pop and excitement, come visit me in Seattle. If you fly all the way out here, I will take you to Swink Style Bar and treat you to hair tinsel or hair feathers. It will look so super cute.
You are WELCOME.

Good Lord, that was my longest comment ever. I’d like to thank my joy for our friendship, my zest for life and fashion, AND the four shots of espresso in my Americano this morning.
And Jesus, obvi.
