From Example to Object Lesson

So I get a pass for the 3-day weekend. Took a mini-vacation with the family, and it was awesome.

Yesterday, I woke up before my principal photographer, who didn't have school that day (nor did her little brother), and my secondary photographer (who didn't have to drive anyone to school that day) decided to sleep in.

Yesterday, I was okay with that. I had a bust. I pulled a lot of pieces out of the closet I thought would look awesome and ... It didn't. I had too much going on. Cowl-neck blouse, a statement necklace that was too close to the same color, a tuxedo jacket with leather piping, and a pencil skirt with leather panels. Plus a pair of really kick-ass heels. It was too much. It was busy. There was no rest when looking at me. I thought, "Ah well, that's okay, we can miss a day when the day is this much of a cluster."

But then I did it again today.





I got it more right today than yesterday, but it's still wrong. The problem? The skirt is nicely tailored, the jacket is nicely tailored, and the shirt is ... boxy. Way too boxy. Everything else is a nice clean line, and then I have something blousing all over the place. This outfit needed something more like a nicely cut white wrap, or a ribbed turtleneck.

Ah well. Learn from my fail, my friends!
