Perfect 10! - Day 5
Hello Everyone! TGIF!! And welcome to Day 5 of the Perfect 10 blog series. Choosing todays outfit brought back memories of when I was a kid. I remember every morning my mom would come into my room to wake me up. She would sit by my bedside and say, "make sure to stretch...you´re growing every day so stretch as far as you can and you´ll be the tallest, strongest girl in your class...stretch your arms, stretch your legs...". I usually enjoyed waking up like this...except for the weekends, I preferred not to grow on the weekends.
Because of this morning ritual, I grew up actually believing that I was tall and strong. But those who know me can vouch that I´m anything but tall, and that´s totally OK :-) (strong, is debatable).
Todays outfit isn´t exactly what it seems and I have my low stature to thank for it. What looks like a dress is actually a skirt, a very long skirt on a very short ME. I acquired it at a swap shop realizing at the time that it would probably hit the floor but I´m a fan of stripes so I wanted to make it work. This can be done with all types of garments if you´re able to see beyond the intended use of a them. I once saw someone wearing a button down shirt as a skirt. Stretch your imagination! and be open to the possibilities.
Have a beautiful weekend!
