Whenever I have a doctor’s appointment, I always feel like my outfit has to be totally on point…
THE STORY
…Even if I’m dead ass sick, I try to kick it up a notch. Okay, okay, maybe not if I’m actually dead ass sick, but for a regular visit? Ya, I definitely put in the effort. Why is that you might be wondering? I mean c’mon…I’m only going to the doctor. Well, my doctor isn’t your run of the mill family physician. She’s just a few years younger than me, loves fashion and knows that I have a blog. Therefore, we probably spend more time talking about clothes, hair and makeup then we do medical stuff.
For example, she rolls into the exam room the other day with freshly colored and straightened hair. The color was amazeballs; it was dark, almost black (but in a super good way, not in that fake Elvira way) with burgundy ombre. Add to that a dark glitter mani, printed leggings with boots and of course the always stylish white doctor coat and you can see why I have to be on my game. Sure, we discussed my test results and medication adjustments and whatnot, but we also had to cover whether or not she should call her hair stylist because so much of her color faded after only one wash. Seriously, it kinda makes going to the doctor not so bad.
THE OUTFIT
Lately I’ve been all over lace trimmed sweaters. This particular lace trimmed sweater came home with me from a recent killer sale at JCPenney. I love the fact that it looks like I have a little lacy number layered underneath without the work of layering. It’s kind of like a dickie for the bottom of your shirt. Since it was pretty chilly out the lightweight floral print bomber was perfect for over top. And yes, that’s another pair of otk boots. They’re actually taupe although they photographed straight up gray. They’re no longer available in the taupe color, but the black is pretty sweet too. I think the boots added just a touch of bad ass to the sweet pink/lace/floral combo I had going on up top.
THE TIP
Add an opposing element to an outfit to balance it out. For example, the boots balanced the sweetness of the lace and floral print.
