Mood: Sensitive
Weather: Another perfect sunny SoCal day
Outfit Purpose: Out & About Day-to-Night
Style Savvy: Most of us tend to slip on a pair of sneakers, flip flops or sandals when we think of denim shorts. Go outside of your comfort zone and edge up what you pair with your denim shorts (I’m wearing American Eagle Outfitters). They don’t always have to look casual. Funk it up with a detailed blazer like this one from Elmer Avenue, a metallic-ish t-shirt, badass high heels like these Enzo Angiolini feathered one’s I’m wearing and a small cross-body bag to carry your essentials.
Personal Style: Street Style
What’s Going On With Me: Most days, even on weekends are work days because I’m blogging daily and getting my outfit photos taken. Today I actually needed to take the day off but I didn’t. I met up with my SD guy slash photog-of-the-day in University Heights (San Diego). Within a few blocks there’s all sorts of neat spots to take outfit photos. Of course, I usually wait til “magic hour” to get the best natural light for my snaps. Last week when I was down here on a date with SD guy, I saw this mural on the wall and knew I wanted to use it as a backdrop for one of my Shop My Closet outfits. Today I had that chance.
Tonight I didn’t realize how overly exhausted I was until after dinner and dessert. I swear after my last bite of chocolate cake I completely blacked out for a few minutes. My defenses were down and what followed was a case of vulnerability and sensitivity. It’s embarrassing that my SD guy had to witness this mood of mine. I apologized but how does one recover from that when a person barely knows you? I think I’ve been averaging about 5 to 6 hours of sleep daily this past week. I’m hoping tonight, although it’s close to midnight to catch up and be more spritely tomorrow.
Thoughts: Honesty and integrity are something I practice daily (more about this here Day 21). I also appreciate when people are honest with me. Although when I’m not of sound mind and body, I take honesty as a personal attack. Not good. With this, I’m reminded that I need to take better care of myself in all areas – eating, exercising and getting good sleep so I don’t walk around like a zombie head or a cranky biatch.
