Last night was the last hoorah for us RAs before the first-year students move-in and the madness begins! So to make sure I had enough dough (wow, when's the last time I said that?) for the night, a fellow RA and I scrambled over to the student center to hit-up the ATM. As we walked passed the Grad-hall, I saw a friend dressed in this ever-so-cute blue dress.
"Heyyy!"
"Hey, how are you?!"
"I'm good, how are you?"
"Good, good. Oh my god. Wait, turn around! That jacket is so cute! You always look so cute! You put me to shame!!"
... how do you respond to that? I don't know, but I said, "aw, thanks. You look cute too!"
While we walked away I told my fellow RA, "Oy, I hate it when people tell me that my clothing puts them to shame. I want people to be inspired by my clothing, not intimidated."
He said, "well, isn't that what you are doing?"
"Huh?"
"By making them feel bad, you're making them want to dress better."
"Hmm. I guess you're right."
And so I wonder, do my outfits inspire you to dress and impress? Even a little bit?

Better than someone telling you that your lack of clothing puts them to shame. That would be truly awkward.
ReplyDeleteYour, and anyone else who posts their outfits online, absolutely inspire me to dress better! I had great style in highschool and then this past year I sort of...lost it when I went away to school. Now, I'm ready to get back into the fashionista action this year.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an uncomfortable scenario. I think you did well with it. Just keep being you.
ReplyDeleteOf course! Your outfits are always so lovely! They inspire me to dress a bit less preppy and a bit more trendy. :)
ReplyDeleteYou and every other blogger who posts outfit pics. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Secretista-you have a lovely style going on.......when I think of you I also think of delicious cupcakes too!!
ReplyDeleteAh sometimes I feel that I am dressing to impress..especially if I am meeting someone I do not like :/ I want them to see my best!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have answered the same :)
ReplyDeleteI love your jumping pictures :) they inspire me.
How can you argue with that kind of logic!
