Make Me Look Pretty

I've never really been the type of person that pays attention to major trends going on in the world. I mean, I bought my first pair of knee-high boots just last year. I'm late on the fashion-train, y'all. But, I am making a concerted effort to dress nicer.

Sure, The Husband tells me I'm beautiful and that he loves me just as much in yesterday's stained jammies my sahm uniform as he does when I wear a black dress for our random date nights. Sweet, right? But what husband wants yoga pants and tank tops every.single.day. on their wife? I sure as hell wouldn't if I were him.

So I want to actually wear, umm, clothes? Stuff that I'd otherwise say, "Why should I put this on if I'm not going anywhere?"

Could I go on a shopping spree and buy whatever I want? Yes. Would The Husband be upset? Absolutely not. Actually, he encourages me to get whatever it is that I want to make myself feel better. It's great and all, and I appreciate it, but I have a walk-in closet full of stuff I've never worn, or only worn once, or stuff that I should be wearing, but can't figure out how to.

Then I remembered Polyvore, and decided to do something that would make my closet stop yelling, "boring, predictable and blah" at me every time I walked in it.

So, I used basic pieces I already have, and built an outfit. I'm seriously amazed that I can make presentable outfits based on things I have in my closet.

But, are these outfits okay to wear, say, outside? You be the judge. Let me know which outfit you like the best and to the best of my ability, I'll go shopping in my closet and recreate the outfit, to be posted in the near future.

So, help a lady out. Make Me Look Pretty.
