I guess I'll wear a crochet dress

I really like the pattern on this scarf. So I thought I would wear it just well, hanging there. Only I see now the reason why people DON'T wear scarves just "hanging there"; because one cannot always get them to hang straight. Meh. I can't say I'm too concerned. Well, not as concerned as the scarf was.

Me: "Scarf, I'm just going to throw you around my neck and wear you hanging there."

Scarf: "Good, I'm sick of being tied in a bow."

Me: "Don't talk back to me scarf. I will wear you however I feel like."

Scarf: "Yeah. Okay. Sure. And I'll just be crooked whenever I feel like."

Me: "I'm sorry."

Scarf: "Too late. And don't think I won't remember this next time either."

As for the rest of the outfit (which I've yet to have a conversation with):

I'm wearing this awesome Guess crocheted dress over a black tank and a jean mini (it's hard to see in the pics). I wasn't entirely certain about this outfit when I put it on. But again, meh, I'm not feeling well, and neither is my son. So, I wasn't too concerned as I went about my day. But now seeing the pics I'm thinking: yeah. I like it. It is sort of a bizarre mixture of patterns and textures. But, well, it nonetheless pleaseth me well.

Sometimes I have outfits like that: I'm not entirely certain if they "look good"; but I like them anyway. I had this one sweater I loved so much in high school that people, when describing me, would describe the sweater! Now, I know it didn't "look good". It had various holes in the sleeves and along the seams (and not holes in an "avant garde" way either, more of a "you have moths way") and it was way too big (it had been my stepfather's from when he was in high school). Anyway, whenever I wore it I felt SO confident and chic. It didn't look good. Yet I felt GREAT in it. So maybe in the end I pulled it off. Maybe I looked good even if the sweater didn't.

One day I will get myself a scanner, or a steadier hand with my digital, and post some pics of The Sweater. And then you can all tell me how great I looked in it. And we can mourn its absence together. Man, I miss that sweater.
