Passionate Fashion - Out of My Bubble Confusion

Ok... I tried something out of my bubble... WHAT with jeans?

I tried something that I have never tried before and I must say I am unsure of the results. Its not that I don't think it looks alright because I think it looks kinda cute but I must say that I am still unsure of the results for me.

What's so crazy and out of my comfort zone? I paired boots over the top of skinny jeans with a dress as a tunic.

This is nothing earth shattering for the fashion world or probably most of my readers but I had a really hard time with this outfit. I almost changed before I left the house. (Husband and I went to a movie etc..) As we were driving down the driveway, I was already thinking that I wanted to go back and change. I wouldn't admit that as I know my husband does not completely get my fashion and shopping as hobbies.

I started out as just thinking that I wasn't going to be comfortable. Yeah right a sweater dress, some jeans, and boots. Excuse one knocked out.

I think I just didn't feel like me, or more importantly, the me that I want to portray. The me that I want the world to see.

I like people to think that I am a tough, pulled together, sleek, professional person. For some reason this outfit did not make me feel those things. I started to get a little anxious about running into someone I know. (Not that likely as we are new to the area and headed a little ways from home.) I just did not like the vibe I was sending out. Why? I am still not completely sure what bothered me but I am not sure I will be trying this again.





By the way, I tried on SEVERAL pairs of boots to find ones that I was ok with.... somewhat. I am NOT lacking in boots! I think these made this outfit a bit more tough????? Or they made me look more balanced in my eyes? Not sure!
